II was excellently presented. Members
Of the freshman class put on iarce
entitled Lyman G. Hunt" Ten little
scrubs lined up on the stage and eacn
delivered eulogy on MIR. Hunts name
producing letter Of the name. An az.
tack OF bashfulness on the part q
some of these new additions to the
school only served to make the farce
little more comical. The next number
on the program was soto by LOUIS
OIeary. He sang part of the "Mika-
dov and it was appreciated by the au-
dience who called for an encore.
The sophomore class had the next
opportunity to show their talent. They
decided that medicine would be their
subject. fhe scene of the farce was

music after the stunt, just TO bring th'
audience back to an appreciation o
