In choosing "Icebound," the Class of '26 used rare judgment and great intuitiveness, and it can be truly said that it left an impression which time will not erase. "Icebound," which was written by Owen Davis, has been presented on Broadway for the last two seasons and has been acclaimed by critics as one of the best plays in recent years. Those Seniors appearing in the cast were splendid in the portrayal of their parts, but the one that stands out in our mind is the excellent performance of Donald Funk as Hen Jordon. Mr. Funk very well portrayed the wayward son against whom the world seemed to have a grudge. The death of his mother brings him home again and he is persuaded to stay and run the farm. Under the tutelage of Jane Crosby, played by Winifred Stuckey, he "finds himself" and settles down to lead a useful life. The Class of '26 has left an enviable mark for future Senior classes to reach. Due to the efforts of the class and the careful coaching of Miss Dolby, the play standard of Cedarville College has again been raised. —J. M.
