THE CARDINAL Music Department The Music Course of our school is in truth, as fully and systematically de- veloped as any other in our curriculum. The High School Orchestra was reorganized at the beginning of this year with eleven members. The efforts of the group have been untiring and the results are certainly commendable. Music was furnished by the Orchestra for both the Junior and Senior class plays, and for several other school affairs. The Orchestra has willingly responded whenever it has been called upon. Another phase of the Music Department is the choral work. This year, due to the large number of pupils interested, there have been several divisions, each meeting two periods weekly. The four choruses consist respectively of Senior and Junior girls, the Sophomore girls, the Freshman girls, and the boys. The Boys' Double Quartet, another unit, has had a very successful season, much having been accomplished in a public way. The boys have appeared in the High School Assembly at different times, at the Woman's Club Annual Re- ception, and at the two class plays, CJunior and Seniorj as well as at other school and civic functions. Unfortunately this group will lose most of its members this year, as all but two of the boys are Seniors. The members of these organizations and the public, which has enjoyed their music, are highly grateful to Miss Adams, whose diligent efforts and efficient training have made for the success of each group.

Rob is stolen when an infant, by his nurse, Meg, who later becomes the wife of Marto, a gypsy. Rob grows to manhood among the gypsies, believing Meg and Marto to be his parents. It happens that one day, while riding with her fiance, Lord Craven, Lady Constance Mar- tendale becomes lost in the woods. They wander to the Gypsy camp where Constance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight. Craven objects to Rob's attitude, but in a very funn comedy scene with Marto and Sinfo, he is made to tell Sir George, who later comes in searcli of Constance, that Rob is a charming fellow. Later Rob goes to the home of Constance and serenades her. They plan to elope, but are overheard by Craven who informs Sir George, and lans are made to capture Rob. This is 'successfully accomplished. Rob is thrown into prison, but later escapes. Two years elapse and Rob has come into his estate, his identity having been proved by Meg. He becomes a successful composer, a friend of the Prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her love for Rob, and on his return to England, he woos and wins her for his wife. As Rob says, The good fairies have led me to the beautiful country after all, and our story, Constance, can end in the proper way, 'They lived happily ever after'. There are also pretty love affairs between Nina and Captain Jerome, and Zara and Sinfo, and many comedy scenes by Sinfo and Marto. 51
