For too many years, decides the cbarminalt enthusiastic Nancy, this interesting ·m artyr has been victimized. If asked for a remedy, Nancy would tell you that was tl)e simplest thing in the whole world : treat a mouse like a lion and he'll grow a mane over ·night.

He will be remembered for his capable work last year as Master Will of Stratford in the play of that name given by the freshmen and sophomores. For Helen Nygaard as Nancy, acting at New Trier will be a new experience. Marion McDonald, who plays Augusta, was seen last year in ,.Captain Applejack." Dean Vail has the part of Oliver, Ralph Netterstrom that of Mark. Faith Burge is Muff, and Elizabeth Sanford is Mrs. Winslow. Leon Dickinson is Alan. and Annette Thompson is Katie, the maid.
