Nineteen-Twenty Tells a Tale CA Scene From a Modern Playb TIME: Late Spring, 1910. PLACE: A wide stretch of green, rolling gently down to a narrow blue stream, bordered with the pale green haze of willows, vivid streaks of color-flame, saffron, rose-the last of a splendid sunset. These gradually fade away until, at the end of the scene, the sky is gray. CHARACTERs: Four maidens: one very young, 1913, one very gay, 1922, one very dignified, 1921, and one very grave, 1910. The first three are clad in bright-colored gowns, but 1910 wears a long black robe and a strange black cap. CThe rise of the curtain discloses the four maidens seated on the green bank of the stream. 1910, with thoughtful eyes looking far off to the vivid west, is telling a tale, while the other three listenj 1910: And so I left my home and traveled far Page Twenly Across wide stretching fields, and hills, and vales. Until I came at last to this fair place. And it is now four years I have been here- And many labors have I here performed- Tasks I-Ierculean-or at least they seemed To me to be as great as those of old. First there was Freshman Physiology, C1913 sighs relievedlyj, And then came history, required course C1911 sighs feelinglyj, And then the awful task ofjunior year- Psychology and its accompanying woe, C1911 sighs moumfullyj,

But all has not been labor, for I've found Much pleasure in my life in these four years, Contests on Field and floor l've fought-some won, Some lost, yet every one have I enjoyed. fiozg and iozz look doubtful, but iqzi nods ap- provingly, and perceiving her attitude, the others do likewisej And often have I danced in festive halls Decked with bright-colored streamers, or enhanced With boughs of fragrant pine from dim, dark woods. In those same halls, mad frolics have I had- At I-Iallowe'en and other joyous times- And I have watched the stately minuet When gallant courtiers and fair ladies danced. And I have feasted, too, full many a time, With my dear sister, Eighteen, who has gone Out into the wide world, and also with My younger sister, Nineteen-Twenty-Two, fSmiles upon iozzl Who came to take the place of dear Eighteen. So, many times I have made merry here, With all fair Wilsons daughters, through these years- The battle and the banquet and the dance I-Iave given strength and courage for the tasks That must be done. fiqzg, ion, iozi exchange hopeful glancesj But now the time has come When I must be upon my way again. fThe other three look at her with a question their eyesj Upon my way again, and out into The world where Wilsons other daughters strive To do the greater labors that await Them in a greater world-and yet I love This place and I am loath to leave. CBy this time the last streamers of sunset have faded, the sky is gray, and it is growing dark. All sit silent for a momentj And that is all the tale that I may tell, Some day, perhaps, I shall come back and tell You what comes after and how the tale ends. Clt is almost dark.
