An Outline of the Class Day Play, ‘•THE RE-UNION (Given June 6, 1913, at Central High School) [Editor's Note: Inasmuch as this book is given out June 2, and the Class Play takes place June 6, the editor could do no more than publish an outline of the play.] Authors: Nathan Post Cecelia Prince Helen C. Evans Nathalie M. Clem Clara W. Thomas The time of the play is the year 1920. The place is on board “The Re-union, a yacht just leaving Naples for America. The circumstances are as follows: The Senior Class of T3 is to have a re-union at Central High, June, 1920. The class has drifted far and wide, but the location of the majority is known, and they have all been notified of the affair. “THE RE-UNION is a yacht chartered by some of the alumni of the class who are in Europe. At the beginning of the first act the yacht is about to start from Naples. Later she stops at different ports in order to pick up the numerous members of the scattered class. Marseilles is the first stop and then the yacht goes through the Garonne river and canal to the Atlantic and up to Hamburg. From Hamburg the party go to Liverpool and then directly to New York, where a number of the alumni are to meet the yacht to accompany the party the following day to Cleveland. ACT I. The curtain rises with two sailors having an argument as to the circumstances under which the yacht is making the voyage. When the captain enters everything is in readiness for the departure. The captain and wife are anxious because the rest of the party are missing. Soon the rest are seen coming up the gangplank at Naples and the yacht starts. The two treasurers of the class n yt appear and discuss the financial end of the trip. After all the five have assembled, a solo from the class cellist is requested, and he plays. The passengers exchange bits of news regarding members of the class. Upon coming into Marseilles, music is heard and more passengers are picked up, among them the cartoonist, who shows a few specimens of studies he has executed in Paris. At Hamburg, the class pianist, who has been studying music in Germany, joins the party. While tea is being served the pianist entertains them. At Liverpool, the class orator joins the crowd, together with a suffragette member of the class, who has been studying social conditions in. England. After the ladies have retired for the night the gentlemen chat among themselves about old times and the act concludes with a song by the class soloist. ACT II. The curtain rises with all the class officers and passengers on deck, the captain leaning over the railing looking through a spyglass. A group of ladies are sitting in the comer. The class pianist is entertaining one of the party aside. Another little group are still arguing on Woman Suffrage. All rush to the railing to catch sight of John D. Rockefeller's yacht passing, but the captain calls the company to order. He states that all must now come to business, to rehearse the program for the coming reunion. A rostrum is imagined to be at one end of the deck and the captain announces the performers in turn. The class cartoonist, the orator and a soloist appear in order. The program concludes with the song, “A PERFECT DAY. rendered by the two soloists, accompanied by the pianist and ’cellist. 26
