8. The next morninsr there was to he a parade hut that was canceled because of the weather. That day .we had two more rehearsals, and tne singing started that night at eight o'clock. As there were about seven hundred fifty hoys and girls in the mixed chorus besides all those in the different orchestras, you can imagine the time we had getting into the auditorium. We had to go in one at a time to get our numbers checked as we passed.When we did get into our seats in the auditorium it was really frightening to look at the large audience. The singing went very well, and after it was over, we had a very hard time finding one another and our people who had come to take us home. After we finally got to- gether , we went to the hotels for our baggage and started for home, arriving there about three o'clock, very tired and sleepy but very happy. Pierce and I were fortunate enough to be selected to go to the Music Festival again this year along with three girls - Marguerite Benjamin, Marjorie Gates, and Phyllis King. Roswell Ploof '41 The Rich Boys Cast of Characters Richard Maynard A rich boy who appears to be poor. Ronald Dayton - A rich boy who is very conscious of his wealth. Mr3. Maynard - Richard's mother. Sue Martin - A teacher who is a friend to both Richard and Ronald. Setting Scene One - A rather small but well arranged school room on a summer afternoon. Scene Two - The Maynard home on the evening of the same day. Scene Three - The school room of Scene One on the following morning. Scene One ( As the curtain risesMiss Martin and Ronald are seen talking. Rbnald gives one the impression that he overestimates his own importance.) Mtss Martin; Ronald, you were very rude to Richard today. Ronald;(In a surly manner) I don't see that I was I He's always hanging around where he isn't supoosed to be. Miss Martin: Why, how can you say that? You insulted the poor boy. It isn't his fault he doesn't have everything that you have. Just remem- ber that everone can't be rich. Ronald: Well maybe they can't, but he can at least quit hanging around. I can't help poking fun at the old fashion pants he wears. And those queer looking shoes his father must have worn when he was a boy. (He laughs,) Miss Martin: All right. Maybe he doesn’t have all the stylish things you do, but I'm telling you right now, Mr. Dayton, that it isn't the money in life that counts but the person himself. If you wan$ to be happy the rest of your life, take my advice and forget that you are rich for the next two weeks while you are here. Come down to earth instead of acting so much above the rest of iis.
