Miss Glenna Basore gave a reading, "Johnny Gets Ready for Company." The Girls' Quartette sang "'Mother Machree" and "Mother of Pearl." The address of the evening was given by Mrs. Paul D. Espey of Xenia. Y. M. MINSTREL The college minstrel given Thursday evening. March 26, 1936, was a great success. Built around a theme of naval character the boys sailed away on a trip on the good ship "U. S. S. Cedrus" that led them in the land of "Old Black Joe." While under the "Moon Over Miami" they met "Barnacle Bill" and "Pop-eye the Sailor Man." Others of prominence in the crew were "Crooner Grube" and the "Fair Young Maiden" (Sisson). "Admiral" Donald Burkert disproving some of the songs sailed with his crew and governed the actions of the deck swabbing end men Fuss-button Tobias, Asbestos Walker, Asphalt Tomlinson, Bituminous Beals, Bil- ious Anderson and Electricity Gillespie. The crew lazied in southern skies and returned to the tune of "Shipmates Forever." The voyage was a success, the minstrel was a success and the Y treasury was a success. The production was entirely under col- lege boys and their talent. E. Corry supervised the music, D. Burkert the dialogue, F. Trubee the stage and business, with R. Murray over the whole show. Honor is due Noah Sharpe, A. Murray. Prescott and Buehler who helped on the stage. It is recommended to future stage managers to look for Sharpe. Also credit goesto Forrest Nagley and Peterson for their special music. UNITED PRESBYTERIAN PARTY On Sept. 17, the social whirl began with a col- lege party in the social room of the U. P. Church. A "college party" was the entertainment for the evening. Classes consisted of history, physical education, arithmetic, spelling, and geography. The geography course consisted of a study of our town. The students had quite a time counting bridge spikes and fence posts, and hunting signs. The evening closed with refreshments. We hope you had a good time and invite you back next year.
