THE QUIVER 2 r» flag. As he stands before the curtain, the chorus, grouped on the floor below and with hands extended, will sing “Doniine Salvam Fac,” a prayer for the preservation of our nation. Each act of this play will be preceded by a prologue in English. The first act culminates in the elaborate ceremony of the betrothal of Gaius Piso and Tullia, the daughter of Marcus Tullius Cicero. The second act is concerned with the ceremony of their marriage, closing with the bridal procession, in which the full chorus will attend the bridal party, singing Latin songs, and gay with garlands of flowers and torches. The third act presents a Roman banquet at the house of the bridegroom. As the guests recline at the feast, a miscellaneous program of Latin solos, recitation of odes from Horace, and a Roman dance will entertain the guests and conclude the program.

On the evening of April 6, 1916, pupils of the Woonsocket High School presented “As You Like It” as their contribution to the Shakespeare tercentenary celebration. The play was in all respects a great success. It was under the direction of Miss Clark, and to her much credit is due for the excellent production. A large audience witnessed the play and gave most favorable comment. The music furnished by Miss Ruth Wardle added much to the evening's enjoyment.

2 » THI : QUIVER FOOTBALL The football season of 1915 was satisfactory from every viewpoint. Although handicapped by a small, light squad, our coach, Mr. : eaney, turned out a team that stood second in the Interscholastic League. The opening game was played at East Providence.. Our boys suffered defeat, 27 to 3, due, probably, to the fact that they had had no practice games and had not had time to develop. Woonsocket, showing greet improvement, beat the strong Hope team in the next game. Then followed victories over Cranston, Warwick, Pawtucket, Pascoag, and Classical. The greatest game of the season, however, was the last, when we held the strong and heavy Technical team to a tie, 6-6. This game was regarded as one of the best ever played in the league. The result was due to the spirit and aggressiveness of our boys, as each player was outweighed by his opponent by twenty to thirty pounds. Although Technical won the championship, Woonsocket can honorably boast of being the only team in the league not beaten by the champions. The following men were awarded letters at the end of the seasons: A. Davis, captain; O. Davis, C. Nichols, G. Savaria, F. Brown, J. Howe, W. Emidy, H. Poole, D. Beasley, G. Roberts, R. Gleason, R.
