THE MOTH 11 E34- Sromioiag llprmqfr as-if HBLAME IT ON SANDY' On the nights of March 31 and April 1, the Class of '30 presented Blame It On Sandy with great success. Blame It On Sandy was a comedy in three-acts, with a very catching story. Sandy, a tom-boyish Miss whose father and mother are both dead, having been connected wi-th the circus in their prime, and dying, left her to be brought up by Mrs. Fairfax, with her son, Paul, and daughter, Grace, is a great trial and worry to her Aunt Gwen, Mrs. Fairfax, because of her rough and ready ways which Mrs. Fairfax would like to change into polished manners like those of her daughter, Grace. Sandy is apparently indifferent to the feelings of her aunt, but, to her true friends, she reveals her uneasiness and regret of causing Mrs. Fairfax so much trouble and anxiety. Still Sandy loves wild animals and cleaves to the ways df circus life, de- spite her aunt's many pleadings. She is so much devoted to animals, that it is necessary for her friends to procure, for her, the different pets she has been used to in the circus. In consequence, Sandy harbors and loves Jocho, a monkey, Bruno, a bear-cub, and wants a green crocodile very badly, but her aunt refuses to allow the crea- ture on the premises. Mrs. Fairfax, ia widow, incidentallyj is very much disturbed by the radical wishes of her niece and confides in her neighbor and special gentleman friend, Major Mark Hazelton, that it is heredity which provokes such actions. The Major immedi- ately disagrees with her and blames environment instead of heredity. This disagreement causes many quarrels between the two, and many argu- ments derive-the major insisting that it is environ- ment, and Mrs. Fairfax claiming it heredity. Be- cause of the continual arguing, Mr.s. Fairfax de- clares she will not marry Major Hazelton until the argument has been sefttled, one way or another. Things continue in this state. Sandy gets a lion as an addition to her menagerie, through the kindness of her best friend, Teddy Wyckliif, known as Wyck. Howe-ver, Tony, the lion, comes in handy in reuniting Grace and Jeremy tloversl after a quarrel, because of the profound fear which every- body holds: for the aged and really peaceable creature. One day startling news is brought by Anna, a stranger but an old nurse of the two babies, Sandy and Grace. She reveals a secret which she has kept for many years and which she can no longer keep. She tells, before everybody, that, when Melisande Marsh Q Sandy J and Grace Fair- fax were babies and she was nurse for them, she became infuriated with Mrs. Fairfax for something she had done and resolved to get revenge. So it happened that Joe Marsh, the showman and father of Melisande, sent for his daughter to be sent to him, she sent the daughter of Mrs. Fairfax. Melisande f Sandy l is therefore Grace Fairfax, the daughter of Mrs. Fairfax, and Grace is Melis- ande Marsh, the showman's daughter-which set- tles the question fheredity vs environmentl between Mrs. Fairfax and Major Hazelton forever. With a happy ending, the story comes to a close --Mrs. Fairfax and Major Hazelton are aigain en- gaged, Grace Fairfax and Jeremy Trent announce their engagement: and Sandy for the new Gracel is leaving' with Wyck, supposedly to become his bride.

'Twas a band of freshmen. which began. ne'er to stop. Till they reached their goal and had won it. Far off in the distance there played a queer light, That daily beckoned us onward But 'tis said to relate, Some gave up the tight And fell to the side, nnhonored. But let us forget that some have dropped out, And let us forget all our bluesg For we have risen, And now we may shout. 'Tis victory we claim as our dues F AMELM NULL.

THE MOTH 13 ?fF51.5'e1I9'w WE 1l'3r,AQr.r iiiQR1lDlIlDlllilllIE?,4l.?Cllf essaeeeessssaseessessefeeee Time--The year 2430 Place-Bureau of statistics at Washington, D. C. CHARACTERS: William Reynolds, officer in charge. Edmond Burke, an explorer. INTRODUCTION. It is the period of the reconstruction of America after being overthrown, and destroyed, as is pre- dicted by the prophets of today. America is in the process of reconstruction, since the whole country has been devastated through rebellious attacks of other planets. Washington alone has been rein- forced against these attacks and is now awble to pro- duce records and important information of the past. SCENE I Mr. Reynolds, in charge of the bureau of statistics, is viewing the city from his office window. He sees an airplane speeding towards him, and in a few min- utes he is speaking with the pilot of it. The pilot, Edmond Burke, reveals a secret which has long been a mystery to the few remaining people of the Unit- ed States. He tells how he has found some import- ant papers and documents through exploring the ruins of the northern part of Maryland. He goes on to say that among these papers he has found a copy of a most unusual volume, The Moth, publish- ed by the Taneytown High School five hundred years ago. The contents of this paper quite surprise Mr. Burke, as most of the names found therein sound familiar. 'Ihey together read the volume and upon finishing it, conclude that these names were well- lznown and no doubt were registered in the hall of .ame. A few short minutes elapse. At the end of this time Mr. Reynolds comes upon the information which confirms their belief. One by one they read off the biography of each individual as found in The Moth. The information which they find in their book of statistics is as follows: Franklin Baker, founded one of the greatest busi- ress colleges of thc world, the Baker Business In- stitute. Maurice Becker, a man of wonderful intellect, through working as a mechanic, came upon one off the most sensational inventions of his day,-The Electropelled Rocket. Robert Clingan, invented the one and only space ship, in which America has succeeded in communicat- ing with all neighboring planets, and by which Amer- ica now intends to get revenge on their enemy- Mars. Ralph Davidson, had done more in the field of Art than any other man who has ever lived. Only through his tremendous accomplishments in this great field has it been made possible to study and appreciate art. Mary Isabel Elliot stands among the leading opera singers of the world. Although many years have passed since her time, her voice is still heard through a new invention of radio. Ruthanna Flickinger was an outstanding charac- tcr in the business world. Rules and business meth- ods laid down by her are still being used without im provement. Dr. John Chenoweth through his famous electrical operations, entirely banished germs and disease. His original methods are still in use. Glenn Snyder after being in an aviation school for a number of years, became manager of the Three Point Airlines. Stanley Lutz invented the mechanical wonder of his age, the perfect robot. This was the robot that had a complete mechanical brain, and our robots of today have been developed from his theory. Carroll Troxell served very faithfully in the De- partment of Agriculture of the United States for several years, and contributed much toward the ad- vancement nf this field. Agatha Hahn was the greatest girls' athletic coach of all time. She developed the popular game of Zitxwp Ball, and her team held the championship for many years. Dorothy Haugh was one of the foremost designers of Parisian gowns, as Paris was the style dictator of the world in that age. Jane Long was a great Presbyterian missionary, who did a great part in converting the natives of Africa. Amelia Null won great fame as an elocutionist, both in the social and in the business world. Delmar Riflie, one of the world's foremost pianists, acquired much fame in his musical career. Pauline Stonesifer, one of the best typists, won great fame for being able to type the most words a minute. Romaine Valentine, after some years of study, be- came a graduate nurse. She became superintend- ent of Johns Hopkins. Mildred Shriner become the First Lady of the Land in 1945, and proved to be the most gracious White House hostess. As the two men close the large book of statistics a mighty crash is heard, a dazzling light fiashes: and in the confusion, one. hears the single word, Mars! JOHN CHENOWETH.
