CHC - 1912 - FORQSTGR Senior Editorial I-IE curtain rises with ponderous solemnity to the accompaniment of spirited music, and the class of l9ll make their first appearance upon the stage. It is a hesitant and rather colourless lot of players that greet our gaze, but f f 4 -it I in spite of the stumblings and stutterings some rather remarkable feats are accomplished, and the time hardened critics pass over the many failures of the first in expectation of a stronger second act. The next scene depicts the class as gay and care-free Sophomores. Some changes are noticeable in the cast. The ranks are a little thinner: the personalities a little more differentiated, while the acting is now imbued with decision and certainty. The chill has passed from the audience and they lean forward with enthusiasm as the next scene in the progress of the class is taken up. Responsibilities peculiar to the upper-classmen period have left their mark upon the faces of the actors and the roles entrusted to their hands are of no mean nature, requiring keen interpretation and decisive judgement. The leads are ably and adequately played by a few, and the minor parts well assumed by the rest. The stage is now darkened,-the music takes on a more hushed and solemn strain and the curtain rises on the last act of this little drama of life. The ranks are still more changed. l-lere and there are unfamiliar faces-people lately added to the cast,-yet among them we recognize the well remembered faces of those who have played their parts faithfully and consistently throughout the four acts. There is a noticeable change in the acting. Wonderful adaptation and power is shown by many, and at times a strain of sad- ness, the proper touch needed, permeates the lines as though the players looked forward with sadness to the ending of the play. There is a pause. The last line is spoken and the actors reluctantly leave the stage to be seen no more. The curtain descends slowly and the play is done. .8 1 TV 24
