STAGE SETTING UNIQUE.

Another Glass Day has gone down
in history for the Pleasantville High
School. The Seniors OF 1923 have de
parted from the institution to make
way for the juniors of this year TO be
come the graduates of another year.
and eventually TO enter the worlds
work. Glass Day is always one Of en-
joyment and frivolity, with its class
prophecy, class will, knocks and other
i~ncidentals. This years event was no
exception to the general rule, and par
ticularly in the class knocks were the
humorous and satirieal incidents OF
school life wildly recalled.
Alton Fox, as the class knocker,
took advantage OF his assignment to
arraign his classmates with many
knocks that sat well or i'll, just aecor-
ding to the frame of mind in which
they received them. But what a jolt
he received when the knocks for the
knocker were handed out by William
Lloyd.
Fox sailed into Somers Steelman,
for instance, and dubbed him the 'tor-
eador'' of his class. Then came a bit

a great deal of chemistry, but the
teacher was never able TO get it out
Carl Whitman heard himself called
"Rhubarb Naselino', and erisco was
mentioned in connection with his hair.
Then Lloyd took the centre OF the
stage and what he said about Fox re
paid the graduates for all that Fox
had said about them. It was short
and quickly absorbed. Lloyd remark
ed that Fox was very fond OF Llzzies.
He said Fox had two. n an Ander-
son and the other a Ford. Fox was
accused with travelling around with
Whitman and copying his "Nalent1-
nos with the girls. This was enough
TO satisfy the revengeful spirit which
Fox had previously engendered, and
