THE Senior Braitta ACT I. Freshmen in the hall, after being shown to the cloak-rooms Dy upper classmen, earnestly discussing the situation. Russell— “Oh, they—they said— they would ‘tar and feather’ us!” Hesler—(consolingly), “Never mind, ‘they’ said, I couldn’t talk to the girls too, but C. Hattie—“I am afraid of Prof. B. I’d hate to be late to one of his classes.” Harry—“Well, a silver dollar to the guy who’ll tell me whether Lady V. is looking at the. southwest corner or the northeast.” Gertrude—“I don’t want to make any rash statements Harry, but I think she is looking at you.” Robert W. (admiring Supt. W. from a distance). “I don’t suppose he’ll ever notice me.” Marion—“Well, he will know that I am around. I have very important brothers in this school.” Leona—“I don’t care, but he looks as if he might be a good History teacher.” Justina—“Someone told me that he was going to teach American History.” Georgia—“Hope that stuff won’t be a required subject when we are Seniors.” Helen—“I believe I would like it.” Winona—“But why think about that. Our Ancient History Class meets in five minutes.” ACT II. Sophomores having their first class party at home of Russell Laune. Helen (to Thelma, newly arrived'— “How do you like Woodward by this time ?” Thelma—“Oh, much better than T had expected; and the Sophomore boys are reallv nicer than those in Colorado Springs.” Ross—“Well we’re some athletes at least. Now here’s Harry, the best man in backet ball.” Harry—“Say, what do you want for that—a bouquet for yourself? You’re thinking of Foot Ball, no doubt, but I’ll not say it.” Winona—“Thelma, we’ll have our annual High School picnic soon, and you’ll enjoy that.” Robert M.—“So will I. Do you want to know what I’m going to do?” Hattie—“No, something heroic I suppose.” Robert—“If you want to speak of it in that way—I’m going to learn to swim.” Gertrude—“You are joking. Surely you can swim.” Robert W.—“Oh no, doesn’t surprise me in the least. Some people Marion—“Changing the subject somewhat, but didn’t you all have the jolliest fun when we went on our Botany ‘hike?’” Russell—“I should say I did, and got so many flowers too. Also the Junior who takes Botany was quite sociable.” Georgia—“(doubtfully). I’m not so a gcod time but I was worried about Mr. Halley.” Leona—“I don’t see why. He seems able to take care of himself.” Georgia—(doubtfully). I’m not so sure. You know it was rather chilly even if it was spring, and his hair had just been cut. I was afraid he’d catch cold.” Harry—“Tee he How.” Justina—“(shocked) Georgia, how could you?” Hesler—“Say folks, it’s late. Come on, let’s plav the real “23 skidoo.’ ” ACT III. Junior Class Meeting. Sublime ( ?) order prevailing. Robert M.—“If you folks don’t come to order and discuss the question properly, I shall go home.” Leona—“And we should miss you so too. Surely you’ll have more regard for us ” Justina—“Mr. President, may I ask what the question is.” 31

Robert M.—“Shall we go on a Wienerwurst roast to-night.” Rosa—“Pray tell, how will we go? Hope we wont have to walk.” Gertrude—“Why Ross and Harry have Fords. We’ll go in them, of course.” Ross—“I—I don’t know about that. I wouldn’t trust a Sop. at all, and some Juniors will stand watching.” Merle—“Ross, you know you’d be glad to let us have it.” Robt. M.—“The question is not how, but shall we go.” Harry—“I am strong for it myself. The Northwest Wind is over for a few weeks and I feel like celebrating.” Georgia—“My Mamma won’t want me to go, because it looks like its going to rain.” Winona—“I don’t want to go because Miss L. excussed us from Latin to work on the paper and now she expects extra good lessons.” Hesler—“I should worry about that. When study interferes with pleasure, cut the study.” Marion—“You know vou never hav ' a good lesson anyway Winona. I didn’t see what difference it makes.” Robert—“I call for the question.” Helen—“I have to go— let’s get this over.” (It is decided—to go. Russell, Hattie and Thelma having chat in one corner). Russel—“O’ what were you voting on.” President—“You should have been giving attention.” Hattie—“Well you might have told us you were going to vote.” Thelma—“I’m going home. Doesn’t do any good for this class to have a meeting. They never accomplish anything.” ACT IV. Seniors having a picnic at Greer’s Ranch. Robert—(lazily). “Oh, don’t you remember ------.” Ross—“Yes we remember; you’ll not let us forget.” Merle—“Well, there are lots of things worth remembering, Ross. For instance this whole year.” Marion—“I’ve never enjoyed a year so much, and we have accomplished a great deal too.” Leona—“Yes, that’s right. The Play was good and so was the Boomer.” Clara—“A great deal of the success of the Boomer is due to Miss Roberts. There’s no use trying to say how much we appreciate her help for we can’t.” Ema—“I’m mighty glad I came here this year. I’ve had more fun than ever before.” Robert W.—“Do you think it was because of the school or rather a certain individual.” King—“Why, because of the school of course. At least that’s what I would say for myself.” Harry—“The thing which has kept this class awake has been the D. D. M. C.” Chester—“Believe you are right on that Harry.” Thelma—“And the best part about it is that we have kept it such a secret.” Helen—“I’m sure no one has the slightest idea as to what it means.” Gertrude—“Now, I’d just like to know who it was who said a class two-thirds of which are girls couldn’t keep a secret. I’ll give them my opinion.” Justina—“O, isn’t that a beautiful sunset?” Hattie—“It certainly is. I have watched it for sometime.” Rosa—(dreamily). “The sun sinks down in ail its splendor.” Winona—“To rise again on every important occasion when the spirit of the class of Sixteen shall dominate ‘The History of Nations.' ” Georgia—“With the volume marked American History the most prominent.” Mr. Halley—“Hesler, perhaps you can supply me with the information I desire. What time will this crowd disperse ?” Hesler—“I think all are in favor of returning about midnight. The moon will be good then.” Russell—“Oh. Mr. Halley, all but Ross, who has objections, but objects to the stating of them.” 32
