X hc Comet 1926 £ebieto of 1926 act 1 %, CRNF- I—The scene is laid in the Main Room of the old High School Building on the fifth of September in the year 1922. As the curtain rises, a group of bashful and frightened boys and girls numbering fifty-one enter, with their eyes popping, taking in with a single glance, the mass of faces of upper classmen. Although the sun is shining, there is an uncanny glow cast over the room by the extreme greenness of the freshmen. Later in the day the protests of the freshmen boys arc heard, but arc drowned by the yells of delight of upper classmen, who seem to take great pleasure in hazing the poor children. However, they didn't succeed in hazing all—several escaped untouched. Scene II This scene is laid in the Civics Room in the old High School Building one afternoon in November, when the class was organized. In December a class meeting was held there, and it was decided that the class have a sleigh-riding party. In spite of the efforts of the upper classmen to the contrary, we went. We had a delightful time—it is a pleasant incident in the memories of the class of '26. Scene III The scene is laid in the Main Room of the old High School Building during a Literary Society meeting in the spring. The class president presents to the school a beautiful picture, called The Pond Lilies. This picture is a fine addition to the numerous ones placed by other classes on the walls of the new building. ACT II Scene I The scene is laid in the old High School Building. September 4, 1923. This time we appear as intellectual sophomores.
