Play Presented
By Epworth League
Proves Successful

The three act farce, "Mr. Gadsby's
Gills." presented by the members of
the Epworth League of the Metho-
dist church in the church ivestry last
evening proved to be one of the most
entertaining and amusing events of
the year. Over 200 people attended
the play and judging from the
laughter and applause everybody en-
joyed themselves to the fullest ex-
tent.
Macmillan Hunnewell Gadsby,
played by Lindsay Varnum. proved
a very able sutton and while he was
engaged to one girl to be married.
he succeeded in winning the hearts
of three others who were staying on
the same farm where he was visit
ing for the summer. The most
amusing part of the story was that
all three girls were engaged and at
Mr.. Gadsby's request they all wrote
letters to their sweethearts dismiss
sing them. Through the offices of
Steve, the boy who worked on the
farm. these letters never reached
their intended destination but were
delivered into Mr.. Gadsby's hands.
Through Mr.. Gadsby's efforts the
three young gentlemen in question
arrived at the farm the next after
/ AOOh oASCL ShC ICtl0lS WCAS WIltlSIA
and unfortunately the three girls
had had a conference and found. out
that matters were very complicated
as Mr.. Gadsby had received promises
of marriage from each of them. The
plot of the farce is very cleverly
worked out and comes to an anus
ing climax when Mr.. Gadsby appears
before all six and announces his en-
gagement to another girl and de-
clareS that he is done with Norman
ism.
The cast is as follows: :
Richard Stanley, lawyer
, Robert NcLeary

Take the Musical clubs. Here's an
institution of the college that for
years without number has taken
students out of the classrooms and

stitution of the college interests me
more than does the Musical Clubs.
and in years gone by 1 have worked
early and late to make their season

who know how to sing and how to
play. how to employ some rare gifts
that nature has bestowed upon them
and denied me. Even though l
firmly believe in the Importance of
classroom standing, shall I go so far
as to say, No more of these musical

clubs Of no benefit to the boys, to
the college and to society? 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to estimate values
in human accomplishments
Take the Colby Christian Asso-

statement that no institution of the
college takes more of mans time
apart from his classroom work than
does the Christian Association. Is it

the wrong slant in athletics. I think
we should run more to the training of

rious thing about this idea is that
can't seem to get others to agree with
me. And curiously. too, I am finding
that many Of those most heavily
against athletics are the ones who first
apply for tickets to every major game.
Human nature is a curious medley.

to see a baseball game and 1t is a
