In keeping with this' policy the class has decided not to put on the ordinary drama for its annual event, but to put on what is expected will be far more popular—a musical comedy Avith the best talent of the school in the production. "Where Men are Men" is a i'ip- snorfing spanking musical comedy (apologies < to "Charley's Aunt"), which has be-'ii writ I en by Owen j White and which will be directed by j him in person.
