DRAMATICS THE BOOK SHOP On Library Day, February 12, a fantasy, entitled The Book Shop, written by Miss WiUiams and Mrs. Gray, and directed by Miss Patton, was presented to a large audience. In the play were seen dearly loved characters of favorite books come to life. Queen Titania waved her fairy wand and her fairies danced for us, while Mother Goose ' s characters were very much in evidence. We pulled up our collars when Hans Brinker and his playmates showed us how to skate on ice, and when Evangeline passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music. Finally, Bob Cratchett and Tiny Tim appeared with a God bless us every one.

The time is that of George IH and the costuming and stage effects were in keeping with that period.
