5 - April 1905

all charming, all fascinating but alas! and different!

With a mighty effort difficulties were surmounted, objections were silenced and inspired by the inspiring theme of their play they set out to work. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the story - so full of love and sweetness, overflowing at times with sorrow and pathos, darkened now with despair and lightened then with hope, ending so tragically leaving the moral "the course of true love never did run smooth" ringing in the ears of the male students at least - for this is spring, you know, and as worshippers of Tennyson their fancies must lightly turn to thoughts of love. Nor is it necessary to dwell upon the actors

Excellent they all displayed. The scenes of war and peace, the scenes of sorrow and joy, the scenes of love and hatred were all well portrayed. But there appeared more freedome, more naturalness more ease in those of love. Why? Do you ask. Uh! I don't know. It maybe That they have read more about this then the others. What can be said, is that they acquitted themselves as if they were taught by the Ugliest of Seven Troupe. Dr. Tamblyn deserves much credit for the way he has trained them. How often, oh Dr., must your head have swum! How often must your knees have shaken as you witnessed the oft repeated rehearsals of those scenes so full of love and passion!

Exams too long my joy have marred I'm not afraid of being starred For thoughts of them can ne'er retard The smile that won't come off.

The students wear where'er they go sad looks that say, exams and woe And even lost has Sunny Joe The smile that won't come off

The Baby is happy at last. He carries with him where'er he goes the ghost of the late lamented Duke enclosed in a small, round, red and yellow coffin Duke must be uneasy in his grave judging by the sounds which proceed from the plaything.
