THE CARDINAL Lyceum Course Under the auspices of the Senior Class, a Lyceum Course was presented to raise money for the Annual. It consisted of four numbers. The first of these given October 31, by Mr. Seymour, a magician and wizard, who pre- sented a novel and amusing program of sleight-of-hand performances. The second number was staged January 9, by the Delaware Due. Their repertoire con- sisted of Indian music and attractive readings. One member was an exceptional violinist. The third number on February 2, featured Frank Coad, a versatile reader, who won the wholehearted applause of his audience first, by a few short, humorous selections and lastly, by an excellent rendition of t'The Music Master. The last number, which proved to be the best, was presented March 28, by the 't0ld Kentucky Jubileefl The Quartet offered a delightfully varied program of plantation melodies, camp- meeting songs, solos, banjo and slide trombone selections. As a whole, although the attendance at no single performance was astoundingly large, the pupils of the school and the community in general derived much enjoyment from the Course. 52

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
