THE PIQUONIAN 25 The Class of 1915 CA Historical Play in Four Actsj Dramatis Personae-Class of 1915. ACT I. Scene I-The Old High School Building-Sept. 1911-Eighty-seven ignorant little Fresh- men wander into the halls of P. H. S. At first they are at a loss to know what to do but are finally seated in Miss McKinney's room. They are then confronted by the schedule and are told to make out their programs. Horrors! What does that mean? is the universal cry, but after many questions they are able to arrange all their classes without any conflicts. Scene II-jan. 5. 1912-A cold day. The pupils appear in sweaters and gloves: the teachers shiver at their desks: school is finally dismissed until the building gets warmer. Scene III-january 31-Excitement: speeches in assembly: great rejoicing and clapping of hands greet the announcement that a bond issue has been voted and P. H. S. is to have a new building. Scene IV-June-Final Examination-Fifty Freshmen are excused from the examination in Algebra! Unheard of! It is soon discovered that this is the result of lathes set up in the manual training department: they shook the building so much that the brains of the Freshmen were thoroughly loosened. ACT II. Scene I-New Halls-Sept. 1912-The Sophomore Class, somewhat diminished in numbers in the year since they entered, are exploring the new quarters: they find the halls dark, and seem to be greatly disturbed by the noise of trains and of traffic on the street. Scene II-April 7 1913-First day of school after the great 1913 Flood: everybody talking at once: Sophomores rejoice that they are all alive and able to be back in school: George Foster and Cora McDowell tell of their experiences in the Hood. ACT III. Scene l-New Halls-Dec. 19, 1913-Everybody getting ready for the operetta, Princess Chrysanthemumf' Fred Holmes admires himself as Emperor: George Cameron speaks in deep ghostly tones: several other juniors prepare to take prominent parts. Scene II-May 1914-Juniors have an exciting meeting: plan to entertain the Seniors: decide to give a reception at New Halls: everybody is appointed on some committee. ACT IV. Scene I-New High School Building-Sept. 1914-Forty-two would-be Seniors much in evidence in the halls: everybody elated because 191'5 will be the first class to graduate from this building. Scene II-March 4, 1915-Senior class organized: speeches by Mr. Dietrich and Mr. Ellabarger: election of officers: William Hirt is made president: Charles French, vice president: Marie Guenthner, secretary. Scene IV-June 10-Commmencement Night-Seniors having ended their labors on Class Night by giving a play, The Vanguard, now have nothing to do except to listen and be admired: grand tableau-diplomas.
