The Shullion ,Nin'I'h Grade Presenfs Closing Program The play that was given on June 19 by the class of '35 dealt with a Chinese Kingdom. Scene I opened with two of the king's guards discussing the new-born child of the Queen and heartily wishing that it was a boy. At that moment the Prime- Minister, Way Ping, entered and conlirmed their hopes. The whole kingdom rejoiced, for, if the babe had been a girl, then Han San, the king's wicked brother, would have inherit-ed the throne. Scene II showed great anxiety over the absence of Prince Chi Chen, who disappeared while his nurse had left him for a moment. The guard related that an old woman had predicted this, and had also prophesied many things about the class of 1935. Scene III took place in Way Ping's garden where we found Der Ling, the daughter of Way Ping, and Chi Chen, who was also believ-ed to be the child of Way Ping. They were speaking about their love for each other Cunusual for brothers and sis- tersl, and they were worrying about the time when each should wed, and thus become separated. Way Ping entered and, after hearing their fears, assured them of freedom until their mar- riages were arranged. The children, sensing som-ething queer. learned that they were going immediat-ely to the royal palace of Han San, who was now king. Scene IV took place in the throne room of the palace, where Han San occupied the disputed seat. Way Ping and the children entered, sent for the Queen and revolted against Han San's rul- ing. The royal guards had d-eserted Han San and, therefore, he was forced to listen to Way Ping, who soon explained circum- stances. He said that he saw Han San carry Chi Chen into the forest. He went into the for-est, found the child unharmed and took him to his home. There he had b-een taken care of as the son of Way Ping and as the brother of Der Ling. When Chi Chen heard this, he immediately took Der Ling for his Queen, banished Han San, and ruled the Kingdom of the Swallows. Thus the p-eople of the kingdom were saved and the rightful king regained the throne. The cast for the entire play consisted of: - Way Ping .............................,..............,..
