YIKESR A Comedy Entitled Who Put the Sense in Nonsense or Where Do We Go From Here? By T. I. The author of Other Foolish People and Sonnets to Alice. Dedicated to Our Faithful, Faulty Faculty, Who Unreservedly Believe Nothing I Write i Prelude by Orchestra - - When You and I Were Young Maggie Prologue The curtain rises on a desolate scene, affecting the observer with that dull restless feeling of expectancy. In the center of the stage is a prisonlike building called the Home of Knowledge or School House. It is on the morning of September 12, 1919, when our play begins.
