Have you ever been in Dutch with
your lover? Have you ever been "In
Dutch” with another class? ’Fess up
now, bo fair with us for really we
were.
You know fond lovers always havo
mistakes for as we have all found out
true love never runs smooth. Well, to
tell you the truth, it Is better to be
“In Dutch” and experience all the
bumps and hard hits of love than
never to experience it and In the out
come to have nothing—not even the
one you really did like.
The following Is an account of a
love affair in which the parties con
cerned got “'In Dutch”—but really the
outcome is amazing.
Mary and David went to a masquer
ade and they both wore Dutch costumes
and white masks. Two other sweet
hearts, Jimmy and Helen, went to tho
same masquerade, dressed In Dutch
costumes, but wore black masks. By
some mistake the boys talked to the
wrong girl and as you have experienced,
I suppose, the young ladles were
really angry but after much explain
ing the lovers were happy again.
Then Helen met Mary and they de-
ciaed to exchange matskti to see if the
boys really could tell the difference.
Then by chance the hoys met and ex
changed masks. Really, how do you
imagine it came out? Well, as love
always finds a way, Mary and David
were amazed to find that they were
together, and to the surprise of Helen
and Jimmy they still had each other.
But what about being “In Dutch'*
with the class—the Sopohomoro Class'?
Well, it’s just this way, they had
found out our stunt and we were try
ing to get another, but after these
couples went to the masquerade and
the lover's escapade turned out so
well, we decided to give “In Dutch.”

are glad that the Juniors won.
The stunt which the Juniors
presented was of course original, in
cluding all the music and songs, and
it had a really historical value. The
name of the stunt was “Oh Henry!”
and it brought out the fact that
Henry VIII was quite ahead of his

The time is 1906. The first scene is

We sail the deep,
For prey we seek.
And now we’ve won our prize."

*‘A FRAME XJP”
DEALT WITH CLASSICAL PICTURE
ORIGINAL IN JffUSIC AND IDEA
“A Frame Up” was presented by
the Senior class and perhaps it was
the title that held ti jinx on '28's
luck for that night. The whole idea
of the stunt was very different from
the usual stunt and was worked out
very clcverly and with a marked
degree of originality. The stunt
was a one act performance and pre
vented ft great deal of the boring
time for the audience which comes
from long waits in between scenes
and acts.
The funny paper with ita comics

DR. GREAVES
DIES SUDDENLY

NACLE BAPTIST CHURCH
TAKEN AWAY
Every one was tremendously shocked
at the news of Dr. Greaves’ sudden
death Wednesday morning. He was
busy in the Master’s work until the
end, having attended a social meeting
at his church on Tuesday night, He
had endeared himself to Meredith
girls on his frequent visits to conduct
chapel exercises and ho was very well
known for his optimistic and sunny
disposition. Those of ua who attended
the Tabernacle Baptist Church know
what a powerful preacher ho was and
have felt the strength of his personal
ity. We feel that we have lost a won
derful friend but we are thankful for
tho inspiration of such a life as bis.
The whole student body and faculty
of Meredith College wish to extend
their deepest heart-felt sympathy to the
family nnd especially to our classmate
and friend, Mary Ruth.
