SEPTALOGUE BY THE GRADE XII BLYTHE SPIRITS Scene-the top floor of the Red House-one of the bedrooms. Time-anytime after 10 p.m.-the lights are Still on. Stage setting-Competition may be 'heard blar- ing from Graceis and Sheila's radios: doors bang, and a general atmosphere of hubbub reigns. As the curtain goes up, we see Grace picking up Joddy's, Eileenls, and Phyllis's things where they last stepped out of them. Over on a bed, Audrey and Eileen indulge in a 'box of cookies from home. Enter Negligee Clegg with a swish, or a swash, or a swoosh-Cwe argued this one outj. Phyllis enters, resembling Topsy, with her 'hair done up in rags, singing Prepare Thyself Zion . She is rudely in- terrupted from behind by a Chinese suffle, scuffle, and song act by Joddy and Marion. Jolddy and Marion: Ah ma fou. Audrey: Je ne sais pas what to do about them. Joddy: Hukkk--pptoo-dirty old Dree. Phyllis Claughing uproariouslybz Oh kids, have you heard this one? How long is a Chin-aman. CSickly grins register on all faces but Marion's.J Marion Qwith a puzzled expressionlz Well, how long P.J.? CThe sickly grins burst into healthy howls. This finally subsidesj Grace Cpicking up article XJ: For cryin' out loud what's this doin's? Grace receives no reply exceptj . . . Eileen: Cwith a mouthful of cookiesj Crunch! Joan: What is this thing I smell? Au-drey: Silly girl, Joddy's feet-aren't they fierce? Everyone else in a chorus: Oh no, that's Eileen's pine bath oil.-Ugh! 'In the corner Eileen is seen to gently lift the bottle, breathe in deeply, humming affectionately Oh They Cut Down the Old Pine Tree. J Staggering, the Blythe Twelvers exit, in a con- fusion of song, Grace singing, I'll Be Going Around the Mountains When I Go , along with J0ddy's huskily crooned L'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes , while Audrey adds 'tOne Was a Pretty Little Red Head. Added to this Joan joins in plaintively, 'Tm Always Chasing Rainbows, Marion bellows There's Some- thing About Us Iris.h , and Phyllis completes the chorus with the conclusion that It's A Grand Night For Singing. As she isn't in boarding, we couldift work her in, But this we consider, would be a great sin, And so to dear teacher, our mistress and friend, We say you're a good egg -and this is the end.
