set off the rest of the characters.
Miss Sara O'Farrell was beautiful,
sweet and lovable in the charming
role of Dorothy. Her part was well
portrayed and added greatly to the
charm of the play.
Miss Mae Smith was splendid as
Mrs. Fuller. She showed not only
exceptional talent, but a fine know
ledge of stage technique and details
of acting.
Mr. Temple was well taken by Mr.
Nicolson, and the clever work done
by him was greatly appreciated by
the audience.
Mr. Lynch played Fuller—the part
of a “professional'' liar—and the
extremely humorous lines and busi
ness of this part, one of the best in
the play, were well brought out and
presented by Mr. Lynch.
Mr. Meyer was great as Wigson.
His part was one of excellent possi
bilities, and Mr. Meyer made the most
of all of them.
John Brown, while rather a small
part, stood out distinctly because of
Mr. Howard's good work. He played
it with Just enough effrontery and
foolishness to make It amusing, but
not enough to disgust. The distinc
tion was hard to draw, but Mr. How
ard did so excellently.
Perhaps there has never been a
Commencement at which so many of
the Alumni have been present. They
; are here tills year In huge numbers,
and their presence speaks much. It
| means that there Is an awakening of
! thi' Alumni of the old Instlltutinn
which cannot hut augur well fur the
I future.
Two classes are holding reunions,
07, and '<>2. Both are represented
by a largo proportion of the classes,
and thdy are enjoying a most con
genial renewal of college ties and
friendships. Both have held ban
quets at the Georgian, at which the
fellowship of the never-to-be-forgot
ten college days was strongly in evi
dence, and each member oi the r
es lias been bound ■ anew to
I Alma Mater.
In the name of the students,
Bed and Black welcomed them hack
"home” again, and hopes thut their
stay may be so pleasant that every
Commencement tide may turn their
thoughts and steps to Athens.
