Even the poor old cock, who had been watching plays for so many years, had to sit up and blink when he saw the gay costumes and scenery that the Art Club had made. ' 1 J' l' Now let,s glance at our program to see what the first scene is to be: Scene I ---- The Courtship of Miles Standish Time ---- Thanksgiving Critics say: Recommended as especially well done by Class I. The well-known lines of LonfelloW's poem gained more laurels after this year's performance. Scene II ----- The Nightingale Time - - - Christmas Critics say: Although it dif- fered from the conventional nativi- ty play, The Nightingale lacked no Christmas spirit. The tragedy lay in the separation of a mother from her son, who, because of his voice, was called Nightingale,'. Through gaiety and music they were reunited on Christmas Eve. Unanimously agreed that the story was delightful, the singing exquis- ite. All were enthusiastic over the bright costumes that contributed so much to the happy mood of the play. Page Eighteen
