itors and advisors it was decided
th^t for the best interests of the
College and High School, each
school would have separate news
papers.
A trial issue of the High School
paper will come out May 21st. A
contest was put on to pick a name
which will be announced with the
first issue. The new staff elected
this year is '’’erry Kane, Editor-
in-Chief; Lee Brewer, Business
Manager; Lucille Black, Associate
Editor; and Martha Dabney, Art

ways.

Banquet Program
On May 7, which fell on Satur
day evening, about five and fifty
persons gathered together in the
dining room of Assembly Inn to
honor the end of college days for
thirteen of those present, and also
to celebrate the passage of a few
more (we hope) into the honored
state of seniorhood. This affair,
known as the Junior-Senior Ban

those held in previous years —
young men guests were not ex
cluded.
After the Invocation by Dr. Mc
Gregor, the Welcome and Re
sponse were given by the Junior
and Senior class presidents, Elea
nor Enloe and Lucille Vaught, re
spectively.
The theme of the Banquet was

College Seniors Will
Present “THE RIVALS”
“Bob, a country bumpkin, is a
rival of the handsome Captain
Absolute for the hand of Lydia.
Mrs. Malaprop objects to the af
fair because Captain Absolute has
presented himself to Lydia as a
mere ensign, hoping she will love
him for himself alone, (and Lydia
does!). Meanwhile, Mrs. Malaprop
has been having a love affair with
an unknown admirer, one Sir
Lucius ©’Trigger, who supposes
Mrs. Malaprop is a delectable

builds through one side-splitting
situation after another, up to the
uproariously funny duel scene,
where all is explained and for
given.*’
This is the review of THE RI
VALS by Richard Sheridan to be
presented by the Senior College
Class on May, 21, at 8:00 P .M.

you in stitches.
