Ml AIIWIATI U XVhen we think of the month of December we think of the plays given each year by the Verona High School. Formerly, two plays were given, one by the Senior class and the other by the Junior class, this year, however, it was decided that there should be one play for which the cast should be picked from the whole school. This created more interest in the plays as not only the members of the two upper classes but every member of the school was interested. The name of the play was Alice Sit-By-The-Fire, by Barrie. In this play Amy, Alice,s daughter, has been taking care of the home, and of her brother, Cosmo, while her mother and father were away in India. When Mrs. Gray returns to her home she is unhappy because her children do not seem to love her. One evening Mr. Rollo, an old friend of Colonel and Mrs. Gray, comes to visit them. Amy and Ginevra, Amy's friend, overhear the conversation between Mr. Rollo and Mrs. Gray. The girls, with imaginations heightened by too frequent visits to the theater, immediately determine that the two have fallen in love. Amy is persuaded by Ginevra to go to Mr. Rollo's home and demand the letters which her mother has written to him. She tells Amy that she knows there are letters because in all the plays they've seen, there have been. Amy undertakes the task and approaches the home of Mr. Rollo. There she is met by Richardson, who takes care of Mr. Rollo,s apartment. After a short discussion Amy meets Mr. Rollo. Immediately she asks for the letters and Mr. Rollo, very much astonished, asks for an explnation. She tries to explain but suddenly visitors are an- nounced. Not wishing to be seen, Amy hides in a closet. She has often seen this done in plays. Two characters enter the apartment of Mr. Rollo, they are Colonel and Mrs. Gray. Mrs. Gray soon discovers that Amy has hidden in the closet and tries to conceal it from her husband. While he is not looking she pulls Amy from the closet and pretends that her daughter has just arrived. The colonel, however, also discovers that Amy had hidden in the closet and asks for an explanation. The Grays leave the apartment and when they reach home Mrs. Gray explains the matter to her husband. Mr. Rollo apologizes for having caused such a disturbance in their family. As everything is made clear, we are led to suppose that Mr. Rollo and Amy will not remain just friends, but will soon be happily married. 30

A game with Central High, Paterson, followed, in which we lost 6 to 0. This game was followed by two Barringer High School games in which we were also unable to come out victors. The scores wereg first game, 2 to Og second game, 3 to 1. The soccer team ended the season by playing Montclair High School to whom we also paid tribute by the score of 2 to 1. It will be noticed that all the schools with which the soccer team competed are much larger than ours. Taking this into consideration, the teamys showing was really very good. Since few members will be lost by graduation, we have a good start on a team for next year. W. FISMER ,29 32
