Jolni: “Wo did that and found out what votin’ is, too.’’ Sara: (Head high) “Don’t toll me that Wooden Babies are slow. We have had a class meeting even as the Idols do and now we are to be represented on the Athletic Board of Control and are to have a weiner roast.” John: “Guess that is goin’ some. I sure am glad Gordon Hull is our representative. I’ll hot he can cast sis big a vote as any of them upperclassmen.” Sara: “He sure can. Oh John, just think some day we are going to be upperclassmen.” (Walking Book catches them talking in the hall. Drop the curtain.) Act. 2. Scene T. Time..................................................September, 1918. Place ........................................................C. H. S. (Enter two Stragglers, Arthur Phares and Helen Hill.) Arthur: (Using no slang at all) “Well, we are back in old C. H. S. again. All safe and sound across the border lino from that country of Wooden Babies. Sixty-four from the original is a good showing.” Helen: (Speaking good English) “Yes, it is a fine record. Moreover, it is proof of our persorverance against all odds and of the execellence of our scholarship.” Arthur: “We had some trying times as Wooden Babies until we learned to secure needed information from the Walking Books instead of the Idols.” Helen: “Indeed we did, but we learned rapidly and now it is our chief delight to dictate to the Freshies of 1918. Isn’t it queer how much greener they seem than we ever realized we were?” Arthur: “It is strange, but there is a wonderful difference between Wooden Babies and Stragglers.” (Curtain.) Scene II. Time ................................................ Months later. Place .................................................... C. II. S. (Enter Gwyneth Renich and Mary Margaret Harrison, Stragglers, and Paul Chapin, an Idol.) Gwyneth: (Loudly addressing Mary Margaret) “We can do anything we undertake.” Paul: “What’s all the loud talking about? Surely, Stragglers would not presume to make their presence known.” Gwyneth: “The idea! 1 guess you know we are here alright. Don’t we make our full share of noise in glee club, orchestra and band? And everybody knows that Arthur Phares, the best yell leader who has ever directed the rooters of C. II. S., belongs to none other than the Stragglers. And haven’t we a representative on the Athletic-Board of Control ? Harold Lane of first team basketball fame is a star who reflects our glory. Gordon Hull and Claude Barrett, too, won places on the tournament squad. Tell me, Sir, can the Idols boast more men than we in the tournament?” Gwyneth: “And haven’t we done our full share in presenting programs before the student body ? Remember, we were the first class to put on a Wednesday program. Then, again on Washington’s birthday (which is February 22), we danced the stately minuet and read to you. Our success as entertainers was evidenced by the audience we drew. But what about our scholarship, you say. To acquire knowledge is our chief delight. ’Tis (rue as Wooden Babies we laughed among ourselves when our grades were low, for me liked tight squeezezs then, but now—. Well it is sufficient to say we have acquired the dignity and mental alertness of Stragglers.” Paul: “The bell! Once more I’m late to physics. See me go!” Gwyneth: (Shouts after him) “Would you but tarry longer I could tell you more.” (Curtain) —PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT—
