program Setting—New Opera House (by anticipation.) Time—Tonight. May 19, 1911. Performers — Class day committee and officers: Philip Darnell, George Baldwin, Grant Fewsmith, Marie Finley, Marcia Henry, Elizabeth Lyman, Bernice Hart, Miriam Culp, Marguerite Crighton. Enter Philip (left box, happy): ' Hello everybody. (He looks blank at discovering empty boxes.) “Oh, how nice of all the officers to come early! Enter Betty and Miriam and Martin Maurer (right). In establishing themselves in the box they place a box of candy on the box railing. They wave to Philip. Philip: “After Mr. Harris has gotten the opera house for us, we ought to be here on time. Miriam: Yon might collect some dues while you wait, for Denton ” Philip (he looks significantly at box of candy) : “The way to a man’s industry is through his sweet tooth.” (Reaches vainly for candy, as the girls offer it teasingly.) Enter Bernice (talking to someone outside. Left box. She bumps into Philip. Both exclaim, “Oh, excuse me. Bernice: “Oh, Philip, is that you? But you know one really couldn’t miss you.’’ (At the same time Philip speaks.) Philip: “Wonder you wouldn’t look where you were going! This isn’t the gymnasium.” Miriam (pounding edge of opposite box) : “Order, order over there!” Enter George and Marie (left box). They wave to the others, exchange greetings; at the same time Grant and Marguerite enter right box. George (surveys the class in the audience proudly) : “Not a bad looking class, is it ?” Grant: “No, since you’re not down there. All look down; point out people to each other. Betty: “There is the class athlete!” Girls (in excited chorus): “Where?” (They lift opera glasses and scan the audience eagerly. Boys exchange glances.) Philip: “And there’s the class beauty!” Boys (in excited chorus): “Where?” (Grant pulls out a huge telescope and gazes through it. The girls exchange glances this time.) Miriam: “What makes this box so empty ?” Marguerite: “Why, Marcia isn’t here yet!” Marie: “While we are waiting, let’s have a speech.” Chorus: “Let George do it!” (Applause, as George steps over the edge of the box and comes forward. He assumes a mock dignity and begins.) “This uncounted multitude before me and around me, proves .the feeling which the occasion has excited. These thousands of human faces, glowing with sympathy and joy, and from the impulses of a common gratitude, turned reverently to heaven, in this spacious temple of the firmament—firmament—’’ (Groans from boxes.) “But your agitated countenances and heaving breasts inform me that this is not an unmixed joy and. therefore, I turn from it.” Chorus: Please do.” He begins, seriously—a real address to the class. — 23 —
