JUNIOR WEEK

The seventh annual Junior Week, May 16, 17, and 18, was a brilliant success. Pleasant weather, an elaborate program, and the presence of scores of visitors conspired to make the week one of the most enjoyable on record.

The opening event of the festivities was the Dartmouth—Brown baseball game, which is fully reported in another column. The first evening performance was by the students' vaudeville company which appeared in a new and original program. Among the best numbers were the "Hanover and Norwich minstrels," introducing G. D. Terrien 'O6 as middleman; a "smash-bang musical comedy" by P. R. Felt 'O6 and K. H. Neal '06; violin solos by Mr. Neal, and "A Bad Actor," a sketch by H. P. Wayman '06 and D. S. Waring 'O6. The range of fun and originality displayed in the performance delighted the large audience present.

"The Founders." an original musical comedy by Harry R. Wellman '07 and James W. Wallace '07., was given in College Hall Thursday evening and proved to be the feature production of the week. Dealing with the early history of the College, it was an exceedingly appropriate presentation. It is, in brief, the story of the negotiations between Samson Occorn, chief of the Wah Hoos, and John Wheelock for the land on which to found the College. Surrounded by many of the traditional circumstances, and written from the standpoint of the present day, the negotiations between the two principals is burlesque in an amusing and yet respectful manner. The songs, all written by Mr. Wellman, were unusual undergraduate productions, and richly deserved the applause that they received. The finale was spectacular. The principals in the production were : Sam Occum, Chief of the Wah Hoos, P. R. Felt; Shungopavi, otherwise known as Skeet, T. C. Wellsted 'O9; John Wheelock, of historical fame, H. P. Wayman '06; Lord Helpus, the Karl's representative, W. M. Bodwell '06; "Lady Sanborn, guardian of Lord Helpus, G. D. Terrien '06 ; Janet White, captive among the Indians, A. T. Soule '08. These were supported by a large chorus of squaws, braves, and others.

The concluding event was the Junior Promenade, which was held Friday evening in.College Hall. The room was elaborately decorated, being transformed into a large garden with palms and festoons of green. Nevers' orchestra of Concord furnished the music for the dancing and the Freshman mandolin club played between dances. The patronesses for the occasion were Mrs. William Jewett Tucker, Mrs. Charles Francis Richardson. Mrs. Frank Haigh Dixon, Mrs. William Taylor Kennedy, Mrs. Louis Henry Dow, Mrs. Gardner Sturdevant Cushman, Mrs. Perley Rufus Bugbee, Mrs. Charles Bradford Wyman, Mrs. John McLane. The floor director was W. U. Wyman, and the ushers Amos Dodge, T. D. Perry, G. H. Howard, C. W. Pickett, N. C. Coombs, W. R. Andrews, T. T. Redington all members of the Junior class.

The college band, reinforced by several members of Nevers' band, gave concerts 011 the porch of College Hall, Wednesday and Thursday even- ings immediately after dinner, and the glee club gave an impromptu hum Friday evening. The Greek letter fraternities held dances Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
