SIIEBIINIHIIGDIIR CLASS IIIDIIIQAW The senior class play, Once There Was a Princess , a romantic comedy in prologue, three acts, and epilogue, was presented the evenings of November 8 and 9, 1945. The play was presented in the fall of 1945 because of the crowded schedule in the spring of 1946. Following the prologue which took place in the Palace Dellatorre at Rome, Italy, the scene changed to the Boyd living room in America, the time being a few weeks later. The Boyd household was the scene of much preliminary activity, preparing for the arrival of the Princess. The Princess arrived during the first act but was not recognized by members of the household because of her modest dress. Knowing she would shatter all their dreams, she found herself unable to reveal her identity. She realized that they had counted on a big celebration upon her arrival. About a week later, however, the anticipated celebration took place when the Princess, fulfilling all their dreams, again came with much pomp.
