One way is to place it very inartistically on a platter and set it on the table. But the way of the artist is far more complicated. He will take a huge platter, place the tempting brown loaf in the middle, surround it with golden carrot sticks covered with melted butter. and garnish the Whole with parsley sprigs. Well, it seems that the seniors had some history to dish out to the students: and, being artists, they served it in a very striking manner, for they chose as their class play A Voice in the Dark , a play which concerns itself with Samuel Adams. Like most of the plays dealing with those times, the scene is laid in an old tavern, the Pine Tree Tavern in Boston. The period is 1773 to 1775, those years leading to Paul Revere's startling ride, the Boston Tea Party, and eventually the Revolu- tionary War. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and other patriots had chosen the Pine Tree Tavern as a meeting place for discussing the Committees of Correspondence. The innkeeper's daughter, Martha Davy, who is a strong patriot, was serving as their secretary: Complications arise when two British spies choose the same tavern for their headquarters. Other characters are drawn in, and the plot moves swiftly along until the culmination when one of the spies, out of his love for Martha, turns patriot and uses his information to further the American cause. As the cur- tain falls, Paul Revere is leaving for his ride, Adams is fleeing from Boston for protection against the British, and Martha and the converted spy are in close harmony. The seniors may have brought us life from the past, but the juniors concerned themselves with the present, viewing it from an adolescent vantage point in Ever Since Eve . Their recipe contained a southern belle, two journalistic-minded young men, vaischool newspaper, and ia' career-minded young high school girl. Seasoned with complications in the form of measles. their offering was cordially received by the audience. It took a lot last-minute action and quick thinking to pull this ply out of the Ere and restore Susan Blake to 'her rightful position as heroine, but Johnny Clover and Spud Erwin managed to do it. - All ended well with Johnny really seeing Susan's worthiness for the iirsttime in his life.
