Mrs. Chichester, an English matron, and her two children, find that their bank has gone under and that they are penniless. Mr. Hawkes, an executor of Mrs. Chichester's late brother's estate, reads them the will that gives one thousand pounds a year to whoever shall take the responsibility of rearing their cousin, Margaret, who lives in New York with her father. Margaret's mother married an Irish- man by the name of O'Connell, thereby ruining her own life in the eyes of her family and leaving a blot on the old and respectable name of Kingsnorth. At first Mrs. Chichester emphatically declines to be bothered with her, but realizing their financial condition, rr-- luctantly consents to try to keep her niece for a month. Peg, who says she will not go by the name of Margaret, arrives from New York and proves to be as impossible as they had imagined her to be. Even Bennett and Jarvis, the servants, find her to be a trial. Page 20 El Christian Brent, a married man who is making love to Ethel, can make no head- way with Peg On one occasion he is boxed on the ears for his unwanted attention. Jerry, a friend and schoolmate of Alaric, falls in love with Peg at first sight. He is completely carried away by her charming ways and quaint Irish brogue. Ethel attempts to elope with Brent and only by Peg's efforts, is stopped. The two girls are caught and the little New York cousin takes all the blame for the disturbance. Finally the month ends and Peg re- fuses to stay with the Chichester's any longer. Jerry , who is also an executor of Nathaniel Kingsnorth's estate, tries to persuade her to accept the home of her aunt and tells her she will receive five thousand pounds a year of her own when she is twenty-one. Alaric proposes to Peg in hopes of saving the family fortune, but she says she would much rather have her dog, Michael. Mr. Hawkes also asks her to marry him and again she refuses. She has made up her mind that she does not like Englishmen and has planned to go back to her father when Jerry pro- poses. He is really Sir Jerald Adair and after Peg finds it out. she refuses him. As he is leaving, a storm comes up and Peg , who is really afraid of them, goes into his arms. In answer to his repeated question, she says, Sure, there's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream. L'nderstudies for the cast were: Bar- netta Armstrong, Harold McDonald and Kathryn Holiday. El

1:1--in THE PLUTOCRAFT n-----in Class Songs By Eleanor Mavity and Louise Kearby The Class of '32 Words by Nina A. Hazel 1Tune: Sweetheart of Sigmi Chij The Senior Class of French Lick High Will always be true blue. They'll do their best and they'll pass the test As the Class of '32. They'll fight for rank and they'll get it, too Before their work is done. When they graduate may they truly say That the fight was fought and won. Senior Loyalty Song iTune: Washington and Lee Swing! Four years of struggle, toil, then victory. Four years of laughter, joy. We're glad to be The members of this class of thirty-two. For her we'll light right on, we'll ever be true blue. To her we promise all fidelity, And to her blue and white pledge our loyalty. We'll wave our banners high-all foes defy. Here's to the Seniors of French Lick High. El Seniors' Farewell Song CTune: Poor Butterfly! And now our school days are almost over, But we will cherish them evermore. The weeks will pass into months, The months will pass into years, And as we smile through our tears We'll think of days of yore. We'll see the scenes that were once so familiar. We'll see the scenes that are still so dear And whatever we are, and whatever good we may do, We'll owe it all, dear old High, to you. The Parting Class Song The sad hour of parting is now drawing nigh, Soon we to each other must murmur good-bye, The sweet songs of gladness and gentle refrain, ln these halls of music may we hear again. Now while our glad voices are blended in song, We question if ever this bright, happy throng, Shall meet on life's border, for the fu- ture's our own, Or will we be vanquished and never more known. Now from our dear teachers, and class- mates so true, We part with a lingering and tender adieug And go forth to mingle in life's busy fray, With hope that our success may gladden the way. III Page 21
