wmmmam-nm THE TALEBEARER mmf Senior Play The Senior Class presented to the commu- nity of Dakota the play, Once in a Life- time, on November 20, 1931. This play was somewhat different from any play here- tofore presented by Seniors. It took us to the land of gypsies. Konrad, a gypsy boy who had been adopted by Big Jeff and Mrs. Ross when he was a tiny baby. meets a tribe of gypsies in his town. He is attracted to the gypsy camp on the edge of the village by the smiles of the charming gypsy girl, Zara, with whom he falls in love. The night after the visit of the gypsies, Konrad steals away to their camp. Only Laurie. a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Ross, knows of his departure. When he arrives at the gypsy camp he is welcomed by all but Stan, Zara's gypsy lover. He is treated to some gypsy brew while watch- ing the gypsy dancing and listening to their songs. He stays in the camp all night. While sleeping he dreams of the fabled city of Centuria and the colorful life of the gyp- sies. He dreams that the gypsies are trying to get his money. When he awakes he finds that the gypsies are gone and so is his money. He blames them for taking it but soon finds out that a villager has taken it. He then returns to the village and to Laurie.
