He had fallen asleep on the corner of the stage, exhausted after cheering a Greenwood victory in basketball. When his eyes became accustomed to the glare, he perceived that the velvet curtains had been opened and that the blinding light was none other than the Greenwood spot- light. While still acclimatizing himself, he noticed that the spotlight was dimming and that numerous spotlights, hitherto unnoticed, had been extinguished, leaving in distinct relief against a luminous background two figures, that of a mother and her son. The stillness was broken by the eager young voice of the child, questioning his mother and being answered in mellow tones. Suddenly the Cock realized that he was listening to the age-old story of the Nativity told in a language which was as DRAMA i i HE Greenwood Cock awoke with a definite feeling of alarm. Not only I .

A 'J amazed and filled with admiration for what he Q! IKQ QS1! saw. There, before his eyes, lay a realistic V ll J Wai Spanish Patio tastefully decorated with hits of pottery and fascinating wrought-iron furniture. The effect was so natural that he was not surprised to see approaching through a door, an elderly woman in a colorful costume of an earlier date. She advanced toward him and exclaimed, VVell, and you're the Greenwood Cockl H After conversing for a few moments with this extraordinary woman, he learned that she was Concha Puerto, the village gossip from the Dramatic Club play, The Wfonzcrz Haw Their Ufay.

The Cock ascertained from her lively prattle that the play 1 Zi.. had gone off well, that they had had a very good audi- ' X. - T ence, and that the comparatively inexperienced Dramatic ff. Club had proved themselves completely worthy of the N I important place they strive to maintain in the school activi- Li- ties. She also pointed out that the enterprising stage com- ' mittee had for the first time succeeded in constructing flats instead of using the usual curtains for walls. i I l r - S 1 2 if 5 ,. .
