No doubt you have noticed the back patio is much cleaner at the close of the noon periods at present than it was at the beginning of the fall term and for this the Grounds Committee wishes to thank you all for your co- operation. The committee had hoped to start a campaign with the start of the new year but the rainy weather has inter- l'ered with the program, however with the coming of good weather and in- reased play in the back patio en- forcement of rules here-in-after des- cribed Will be rigidly enforced. How- ever the job is yours and if the boys and girls of the Junior High want a more attractive school c00peration is necessary from all in order for this play to proceed. Mr. Lohman, sponsor, has worked with the committee and given many useful ideas Which have been put into operation. The following three rules were passed by the student council in or- . der that the plan might succeed. I. No playing in back patio first fifteen minutesof each lunch period. 2. There will be no eating outside back patio. ' 3. There Will be no playing until grounds are clean. 10070 COOPERATION! ! LETS GO! Monrovia High School Orchestra Plays In Assembly -H, . ., The Monrovia High School Orches- tra conducted by Mr. Harold Scott entertained the Sbuth Pasadena-San Marine Junior High School student body as assembly Wednesday, Janu- . my 17. The first number on the pro- gram was a march from ttThe Queen of Sheba. ' Then Song'i from a opera by Richard Wagner was played on the ,cello accompanied softly by the or- chestra. Next came a lively violin solo. The piece played was the Tar- antel whose legend says if you are bitten by a tarantula and dance to the ttTarantel you will either be cured or killed. The beautiful Minuet by Paderewski was played and was followed by a trumpet solo. The proe gram was concluded with the William Tell Overture. hhgd Sleeping Beauty tContinued from Page 1i Waving her arms, she bends again Over her cane and leaves the court in deep despair, her uncanny cackle echoing back from the corridors. A mournful chant fills the air and once more the fairy appears. The court looks at her hopelessly, plead- ing for some escape from the terrible sentence: Alas, I cannot alter this doom, but I can lighten it. The court, Page 5 a little more hopeful, listens, nThe princess will not die, but will sleep for a hundred years. At. the end of that time a prince Will save her from her slumber. Then, and only then will she be aroused. At this the curtain falls on a much more cheerful court. When the curtain rises it reveals a garden scene, Court gentlemen are chatting together, the golden haired princess comes over a small bridge followed by her ladies in waiting. She has on a lovely dress of white, trim- med in gold. It is her sixteenth birth- day. She starts a game of hide and seek and when everyone is hidden she slips away from the hall. Discovering a hidden stairway, she ascends it, find- ing at the top a bent old woman with a spindle. WhJile examining it the princess pricks her linger and falls back, asleep. The witch descends the stairs chuckling to herself. When the tragedy is discovered everything is confusion. The princess is carried down amid a heavy atmos- phere of anxiety and laid on a couch. A few moments later all living things are wrapped in slumber. Eltish hedges dance around them and finally close in to remain so for a hundred years. One century later a black cat with high shining boots enters upon the scene. He is Puss in Boots! He throws his head back and gazes off into space. Hardly has he taken his posi- tion, when a white cat 'carrying a parasol enters. She is White Lady Cat! The two exchange greetings and, after inquiring about the sleeping princess, they hear footsteps, and fall back as a young man lclad in. silver, pale blue, and white enters. After many attempts to pierce the hedge of thorns, the cats tell the prince, for, indeed, it is he, that only through love will the hedge admit him. 'Sud- denlv the hedge opens! The prince and the cats step back as the Iinhabitants of the hall slowly awaken. All at once he sees the Sleeping Beauty! Elated by her charm and beauty he kisses her. This breaks her spell. and rising. they dance together. The throng takes 110 its gav festivities where they left off. When the jov is at its highest the fairy enters, and then the witch who has been transformed. She begs the pardon of those present and dances with the rest. The united prince and princess kneel before the King and Queen, they are wed and as the old saving goes. lived happily ever- after. The curtain fell for the last time amid a shower Of apnlause. All of us surely should be proud of this marvelous production. Those who. although they were not seen. de- serve as much credit as anv. are those owe the stage crew. Whose excellent un-mino made Sleeping Beauty espec- ially effective. -Nancy McFarland 9B
