Dr. Kirby: Well, we will furnish the place, speaker and diplomas. Beatrice, (persistently): And the programs. Dr. Kirby, (ignoring Bee’s remark): We invite you to attend. Be on time. Cut down your expenses. You don’t need hut about ten an- nouncements apiece and let the Juniors and Sophomores do the deco- rating. Beatrice: Never mind that, we’ll buy our own flowers. And be- sides, that’s OUR business! I)r. Kirby: Yes, if you have a special class flower that is your business. So now children run along and be good; and don’t hi' like the woman whose husband told her that the cow had swallowed the grind stone and she said, “That’s just as I expected.” Of course, little things come up when we might be persuaded to give you some financial assistance, but I’ve been thru’ the graduating mill myself about four time. Each time the Board merely invited me to come, and besides 1 paid from two to ten dollars out of my own pocket for my diplomas. Beatrice: It’s better than I expected, for you say you WILL have programs printed. Dr. Kirby, (reluctantly): Yes; hut that’s our business. (Exeunt the committee). Beatrice, (going down stairs, looking back at the others following sheepishly): “That’s just as I expected.” Fulton: It’s worse than I expected. Beatrice: Well, we will just have to dig down in our own pockets. Ben: I can dig, but there’s nothing there to dig out. Fulton, (laughingly): 1 guess we’ll have to pass the hat. Beatrice: But we’ll not come asking the Board for any more help. Agnes amt Boys, (altogether): I SHOULD SAY NOT. ------------o--------- —26-

inent time. I)r. Kirby: Well, vve don't pay for any invitations, that’s sure! Ague»: These are not invitations, they are announcements. (Knter the three boys). Shoemaker: This is what looks good to me; you can talk to girls any old time. We have talked with them every other year until now. Well now, boys, what have you got to say? (Hen and Fulton gracefully take the stools, Robert a chair). Robert: We’re here to see bow much the School Board is going to help us out. Dr. Kirby: Well, I’ve said it before. I’ll say it once more. We furnish the place, the speaker, and the diplomas. lieatriee, (sarcastically): And programs if you see fit? Dr. Kirby: That’s our business. Robert: How about our flowers? Shoemaker: We’ll have to do a little lor you. Agues: Well then, do you think you can get us the flowers to decorate with? Dr. Kirby, (for the thirteenth time): We get the place, speaker and diplomas, I said, and nothing more. If you want flowers then get a few house plants and put a row along the edge of the stage. Ren : But we have our class flower, with which we want to decorate. lieatriee: We girls will each have to have our boquets to carry. Agnes: And we have got to have something more than house plants to decorate that stage with. Dr. Kirby: That is for you to tend to. Robert : Maybe we can work Mr. Shoemaker to help us out here. Shoemaker: I don’t know, I’m pretty stubborn. lieatriee: Well, I’m going to go! (Rets up and gathers up books and turns to the door). Dr. Kirby : Well, you don’t need to go away mad. lieatriee, (returning to her seat): I’m not mad, I simply ha o found out what you are going to do. or rather not going to do, and that is all I came for. Agnes: I just don’t see where we will get the money for every thing. lieatriee: Oh, we’ll give some more entertainments. Dr. Kirby: Yes. you’ll work us one way, if not another. Robert: Sure. Dr. Kirby: They are always contriving some scheme. How about it, John? Shoemaker: They sure are. Doc. —25-

R KK WALL A road winding up through the meadows. Among flowers and grasses so green. Soon brings you close by a chasm. That once arched an underground stream. There is many an Indian legend. Many ghost stories and hearth tales, too. Told of this great work of Nature, By those who believe them true. Whether legend, myth, or romance. Surrounds this place so wild. There remains one fact—so long grown old—• That it never receives a denial. So, that all from the High School Hall, Shouting, laughing, joyous and free. At the close of each year at Rock-wall Spend a day of Commencement Glee. Bethei. Russell, T2. ----------o----------- —27—
