JUNIOR WEEK

The Junior Week festivities began on May 14 with the presentation of "The Golden Isle", an operetta by L. B. Goodwin '16 and B. F. Bundy '16. The piece had little plot, but was well received by the uncritical audience. The music lacked the catchiness of previous productions. The roles, however, were better suited to the necessarily masculine cast, than the usual female chorus of Prom Shows.

Thursday afternoon was devoted to a vaudeville show, which was one of the best features of the week. As one critic has said: "The show contained more that was solidly worth while and more promise of ability to do things well than any recent dramatic attempt at Dartmouth". The most pretentious piece attempted was Lady Gregory's one-act play, "The Rising- of the Moon". The actors played their parts with much credit and spirit, and proved thereby that undergraduates are able to present successfully a difficult production of serious nature.

Thursday evening the Musical Clubs gave their regular annual concert, with the violin selections of Griffith a prominent feature in the entertainment. The baseball game for Friday had to be cancelled on account of the somewhat belated, but none the less sure, Junior Week rain. Fraternity dances and teas, drives and walks, filled up the rest of the time.

The Promenade itself took place on Friday evening. The dance was held in the prettily decorated gymnasium. Evergreen and bay trees were conspicuous in every corner and recess. Booths, thirty-six in number, lined the floor, while a lattice work structure in the center of the hall concealed the producers of the music. Promptly at nine the dancing began; at midnight supper was served in the booths; and at four the last weary dance came to a close and with it the fifteenth Junior Promenade.
