Bramatira The Winning Widow The Xvinning NVidow, a two-act comedy given by the Public Speaking Class of the Thorp High School on the evening of Friday, January 3, 1522, was a real success in every way. Enough was realized Iinancially, to improve, somewhat, the appearance of the stage, and also a small sum was left in unspent cash. Music was furnished before and between acts by Truman Poolton and Douglas XVilson, our Post Graduate students. The cast of characters was well chosen and all played their parts crcditably. The plot concerned a Widow, who is bringing up her two daughters as man-haters and who pretended to be one herself. Each of the girls meets a young man and invites him to come and see her at home, but they must come disguised in some manner. Accordingly the men come, only to be entertained by the widow. One of the suitors discovers in the maid his former sweetheart and cousin who voluntarily disappeared some months before, because her fathers fortune reverted to a widow instead of to her. XVhen all entanglcmonts are cleared away, it is found that the widow has received this money, half of which she promptly gives to the maid. The maid rnarries her cousin and the other young man marries the widow and the girls :ire left to find other men friends. The cast of characters was as follows: The NVidow+Mrs. Snowdon ..,........

'23. 1 N1 ,J Sonq of Autumn Sing to me of Autumn's joy, I Of the fair, swift, Indians days, - Of the fairies that painted the leaves, the grasses, the flowers, All purple and gold and gray. The birds and insects and butterflies soaring skyward, The low-lying vapor, the gray-blue haze and smoke, Awafted away to the southwardg Of orchards heavy with fruit, The apples, crimson, yellow and green, The purple, the white, the red, of the grapes in the arbor, Peeping 'midst the dark-green maple-shaped leaves. Let us be up and away, For the call has rung clear and wide, The Frost King will be here, And our storehouses are unprepared. Let us be up and a.way, The fruit, the corn, and the beans Must all be put away, For the winter hordes will be needed. Sing to me of Autumn's joy, For only in work are Gods creatures joyous. N.
