It S. was also the first to present plays here as a graduation program. The two given, sl The Boston Tea Party, and The Wedding Dress, were both of colonial L setting and showed the same spirit of freedom. L The first play, The Boston Tea Party, reveals that the plan for destroy- al ing the tea originated in the mind of a young patriot.. Although unable on B' account of lameness to do the work himself, he fired his companions with his A own zeal, and held two British officers at bay, until the signal came that the tea was overboard. 3' In The Wedding Dress, a maiden is about to marry a wealthy suitor B' whom she does not love, in order to save her father from bankruptcy. Her 6: former lover, whom she has believed dead, returns, and in spite of her stern bv aunt's watchfulness, she elopes with him, leaving her sister, who really loves her B. jilted suitor, to take her place. Thus the play ends happily. B, The colorful costumes added a great deal to the beauty and interest of the L program and made the plays realistic. In The Boston Tea Party, the elabor- L, ate dress of the British lieutenants contrasted with the ragged appearance of the L colonists, and the queer costume of the innkeeper. In the other play the quaint L morning costume and the sumptuous wedding dress worn by the sisters were L well set-off by the darker garb of the men. Each costume was exactly suited to L the part of the wearer, and seemed to show something of the character and tem- 8. perament of the player. B: The scenery used for both plays, representing a plain colonial interior. was B: made by a committee of Senior boys. It was constructed in panels which can be easily rearranged to make different settings. As permanent property of the Q school, it will be available for future class or Thyrsus Club plays. ff-'Fa 'Q 'Y 'fe :Q 'Q 2 Q 'fa -Q -Q -Q 'Q 'Q 'Y 'Y -9 -Q 'Q -Q 'Q as W Q 5? sz 'Y 'i 'Y 'Y 'Q 'Q 2?
