PROGRAM GIVEN BV FRESHIES
Clever Entertainment at College Seen
by Large, Appreciative Crowd
Marsh Hall of Pacific University
was well filled with students and
townspeople last Saturday evening to
witness the Washington’s Birthday
program put on by the Freshman
class.
This day is always looked
forward to, as he Freshies always
put on a rattling program, in spite of
the contrary belief of their rivals, the
Sophs.
Glenn Morgan was stage manager,
and every number went off with en­
thusiasm. Misses Littler and Loynes
opened with a piano duet, which was
greatly enjoyed. Joe McCoy pleased
the audience so well with his bumhle
bee and Chinman reading that they
tried to get him back— but he only
smiled and bowed.
Miss Freda Acker sang, “ Spring
Has Come,” and responded with an
encore. Then came a class prophecy
which had numerous hits on the
Sophs., which greatly tickled the risi­
bilities o f the audience. A quartet,
consisting o f Webb, Livingston, Mc­
Coy and Rodgers, sang a medley o f
latest sng hits, and were recalled sev­
eral times. This constituted the first
part o f the program, and a farce en-
1 titled, “ A Case of Suspension,” the
second part o f the evening's enter­
tainment.
The cast o f characters was as fo l­
lows: Mildred, Alice and Dorothy,
young ladies in the seminary, acted
by Edith Swanson, Elida Loynes and
Alice Smith; Harold, Jack and Tom ,
! undergraduates in a college near
acted by Harold Rodgers,Vinton Ibcb-
inson and Edw. Burns; Misa Ophelia
Judkins, by Faye Schroeder; Prof.,
Emilius Judkins, acted by Edwsrd M.
Livingston; Kathleen, a Celtic maid­
en, Edith Winchell, and Jonas, the
Seminary man, by I*, Webb,
Clever burlesque printed programs,
gotten out by the Sophomores, were
handed out by the members o f that
class to th i show shoppers as they
came in.
