tume into the auditorium and
gave the yells and songs that
had been prepared for the oc
casion.
Seniors—Old-Fashioned
Musical Comedy
The Senior stunt was the
scene of an 1890 Musical
Comedy. Their songs and
yells were of the vintage of
1890 and the costumes of the
people in the gallery the
same. The stage show was a
meller-drama” produced in
good old-fashioned manner.
Dorothy Foard, Josephine
Dandridge, and Margaret
Malloy Were in charge of the
stunt.
Freshmen Give Rat Circus
The scene of the Freshman
stunt was laid beneath the

bearded lady. There was an
audience on the stage and a
real circus band.
Those in charge of the stunt
were Mary Lindsay and Mary
Libb Moore.

Rat Week
The theme of the Sopho
more stunt was the origin of
the Sophomore - Freshman

ed (befittingly) as devils.
Betty Manning and lone
Smith were in charge of stag

was a huge story book from
which stepped the Mother
Goose characters come to life.
