Helen Maley PROLOGUE EING an unusual, and precocious group of immortelles, we chose to stray from the beaten path of all pre-historians, and blaze a new trail in writing ourselves up for our own enjoyment, and in setting ourselves down on these pages for the amusement or ridicule of our readers. Having become greatly enamoured of Shakespeare early in life, we decided that, during our high school course, we would simply say his says and play his plays. As all cultivated flowers need the trimming, training, and pruning of experienced hands, so this group of human buds needed for their development, just such tender care as is given at that select spot in God's garden. Saint Margaret's Academy. So kindly bear with us. gentle reader, while, with humble apologies to Shakespeare, we tell our tale to you. in the hope that you may see us as we see ourselves on Commencement Day. a Sweet Bunch of Dayesyes. § .?0 fg.

Jday lye ACT I ‘ THE TAMING OF THE SHREW Orchestra—Overture. Lustpiel ................................... Von Suppe Scene I SAINT MARGARET'S ACADEMY Enter Faculty and Seventy Budding Freshmen. Hark! hark! the lark at heaven s gate sings: My lady sweet, arise, arise. My errand is to you. fair youth. Hie thee! speed to S. M. A. If you'd find a place to stay. After our wonderful vacation, with little to do and less to think, this was a rude awakening. But knowing that space was at a premium in our chosen high school, we heeded the warning. Light of foot, light of heart, and mayhap. light of head, we tripped along in the fresh morning air. to the music of singing birds. The halo of eighth grade graduation was still upon us. We expected that the Faculty and the entire student body of upper classes would greet us at the main entrance. But our hopes were shaken as rough winds do shake the darling buds of May. We had to find our own way through dimly lighted halls, to the office, where, though greeted by the Principal with a winsome smile, we soon learned that we were in for taming. Good morrow. Kate, for that's your name. I hear. Your humble pardon I do beg: they call me Katharine that do talk of me. Audacious maiden. ’T ill you're tame. Kate, ‘plain Kate.' shall be your name. We have strict statutes and most biting laws. The needful bits and curbs for headstrong Kates. Will you swear for four years' term, to live with me. And keep the statutes That are recorded in the schedule here? If so. subscribe your names.” I am resolved: t is but four years to fast. The mind shall banquet, though the body pine. But our good resolve died young. On receiving our program, such thoughts as these almost found utterance— What! shall I be appointed studies, as though belike I knew not what to leave and what to take? I'll not be tied to hours nor pointed times, but learn my lessons as I please myself. Then our gentle Sister Principal sweetly informed us that we must dofT our silken frocks and don the simple Peter Toms. Our purses shall be proud. she said, our garments poor. For t is the mind that makes the body rich. § M g
