THE RAIL-SPLI TTER 19 KING SOL IN FLOWERLAND King Sol in Flowerland was given May 26. 27, and 28, by the students of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, and was under the direction of Miss Edna B. Thiele, who was assisted by Miss Anna McCormick. This cantata was a very elaborate affair and the costumes were beautiful. ARGUMENT ' Flowerland has long awaited the visit of King Sol, the giver of light and heat, to fulfill his ancient promise to visit their fair land in order that they might show their joy and pay him homage. He finally consented to come and as a special favor, bring his sister, Princess Raindrop. At last the day arrived and it was indeed a gala one. Many songs were sung for King Sol and Princess Raindrop, and each flower had some good word for the honored guests. Dances were given in their honor, and were probably the most fascinating part of the event. The Sun Rays were the dancers of the King and the Water Sprites were the dancers of the queen. The dance of the Winds was made up of the North VVind, South ivind, East Wind and West VVind. The Flower Maidens' dance was very beautiful and each indi- vidual carried a hoop covered with flowers. Last was the Butterfly's dance. She was gorgeously cla-l in a purple and yellow costume and was greatly applauded for her dainty danc- ing. Another striking feature was the Bee, who was dressed in a brown suit with yellow stripes and blue wings. Like all other great days, this day came to a close, and all hearts were sad when the hour of parting approached. But they bravely sang: Farewell! O King most glorious Farewell! Farewell! Farewell! U Princess gracious Farewell! Farewell! ,
