THE MOTH 11 E34- Sromioiag llprmqfr as-if HBLAME IT ON SANDY' On the nights of March 31 and April 1, the Class of '30 presented Blame It On Sandy with great success. Blame It On Sandy was a comedy in three-acts, with a very catching story. Sandy, a tom-boyish Miss whose father and mother are both dead, having been connected wi-th the circus in their prime, and dying, left her to be brought up by Mrs. Fairfax, with her son, Paul, and daughter, Grace, is a great trial and worry to her Aunt Gwen, Mrs. Fairfax, because of her rough and ready ways which Mrs. Fairfax would like to change into polished manners like those of her daughter, Grace. Sandy is apparently indifferent to the feelings of her aunt, but, to her true friends, she reveals her uneasiness and regret of causing Mrs. Fairfax so much trouble and anxiety. Still Sandy loves wild animals and cleaves to the ways df circus life, de- spite her aunt's many pleadings. She is so much devoted to animals, that it is necessary for her friends to procure, for her, the different pets she has been used to in the circus. In consequence, Sandy harbors and loves Jocho, a monkey, Bruno, a bear-cub, and wants a green crocodile very badly, but her aunt refuses to allow the crea- ture on the premises. Mrs. Fairfax, ia widow, incidentallyj is very much disturbed by the radical wishes of her niece and confides in her neighbor and special gentleman friend, Major Mark Hazelton, that it is heredity which provokes such actions. The Major immedi- ately disagrees with her and blames environment instead of heredity. This disagreement causes many quarrels between the two, and many argu- ments derive-the major insisting that it is environ- ment, and Mrs. Fairfax claiming it heredity. Be- cause of the continual arguing, Mr.s. Fairfax de- clares she will not marry Major Hazelton until the argument has been sefttled, one way or another. Things continue in this state. Sandy gets a lion as an addition to her menagerie, through the kindness of her best friend, Teddy Wyckliif, known as Wyck. Howe-ver, Tony, the lion, comes in handy in reuniting Grace and Jeremy tloversl after a quarrel, because of the profound fear which every- body holds: for the aged and really peaceable creature. One day startling news is brought by Anna, a stranger but an old nurse of the two babies, Sandy and Grace. She reveals a secret which she has kept for many years and which she can no longer keep. She tells, before everybody, that, when Melisande Marsh Q Sandy J and Grace Fair- fax were babies and she was nurse for them, she became infuriated with Mrs. Fairfax for something she had done and resolved to get revenge. So it happened that Joe Marsh, the showman and father of Melisande, sent for his daughter to be sent to him, she sent the daughter of Mrs. Fairfax. Melisande f Sandy l is therefore Grace Fairfax, the daughter of Mrs. Fairfax, and Grace is Melis- ande Marsh, the showman's daughter-which set- tles the question fheredity vs environmentl between Mrs. Fairfax and Major Hazelton forever. With a happy ending, the story comes to a close --Mrs. Fairfax and Major Hazelton are aigain en- gaged, Grace Fairfax and Jeremy Trent announce their engagement: and Sandy for the new Gracel is leaving' with Wyck, supposedly to become his bride.

'Twas a band of freshmen. which began. ne'er to stop. Till they reached their goal and had won it. Far off in the distance there played a queer light, That daily beckoned us onward But 'tis said to relate, Some gave up the tight And fell to the side, nnhonored. But let us forget that some have dropped out, And let us forget all our bluesg For we have risen, And now we may shout. 'Tis victory we claim as our dues F AMELM NULL.

10 TH E MOTH of Maurice Becker, also ranks well among its com- petitors in the county. Our class was this year very well represented in the Glee Clubs, both of which sang in the Eisteddfod. Ralph Davidson proved to have much musical talent. when he played the violin solo at the Eisteddfod. Class-mates, these now comprise the most import- ant facts in our high school career, as a class. On what our thoughts are now resting, while thus as- sembled, we are hardly able to definitely say. The days of sunshine, joy, happiness, and glee, teeming with golden and sometimes fruitful opportunities, are now overg but we hope a sincere friendship ex- ists and will continue to exist among' us. Sadness creeps in upon us when we realize that the unavoid- able and sad parting is now at hand. In a solid phalanx we have fought our confiicts and learned to know true friendship. We have united in the period of reverses, as well as in the joys of victory. Some can look over four years of honest endeavor and de- voted attention to study, whilst others must be haunted with the recollection of wasted opportuni- ties. But. whatever the result, it has surely been good to be here. Our record here is a splendid and inspiring one, and let us therefore resolve to so live that our lilfe shall be unblemished and worthy of emulation. May our future be as pleasant as the past, and may the world treat us as our Alma Mater has always done. We must gratefully acknowledge that we owe a great degree of honor to dear old T. H. S., and that she has a right to demand of us a full measure of unstinted devotion. MARY ISABEL ELLIOT. , ..-.
