HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

AS interesting and pretty a drama
as has ever been presented by anna
teur talent on Rock Island stage will
be given by the high school senior
class in the assembly hall of the high
school senior class in the assembly
hall of the high school tomorrow even
ing. This drama is 'Esmeralda," the
key note of the story it portrays being
the unconquerable power OF love pit
ted against the Instructions and snares
of an overwhelming opposition
1t has been the custom of each grad
uating class to present plays annually
The present scholars will make an at
tempt to surpass the efforts of former
terms. The purpose for which the
plays are given is to secure funds tC
carry through the commencement ex-
ercises. The pupils deserve credit for
the time and work that they are taking
for the accomplishment of their pur-
pose. The following is a brief story
of "Esmeralda":
"Old Man Rogers, his wife, Lydia
Ann Rogers, and daughter, Esmeralda.
are living on an old homestead in
North Carolina. A strong affection
exists between Esmeralda and Dave
Hardy, a young neighbor. Mrs. Rog
ers is a despotic woman with a fond
ness for fashionable city life. Upon
the intrusion of George Drew, a spec
ulator. she parts with her land and
brings the family to Paris The cur
tain drops with old home relations Sc
vered and Esmeraida and her lover
parted.
The next scene presents the studio
of Jack Desmond in Paris. Nora and
Kate. two sisters of Jack are in the
studio; Estabrook, a genial young man
Of leisure, enters 1t chances that he
and Nora are long separated friends.
The young man becomes aware of
fondness for NOra's presence, and an
other love plot is under way. Esta-
brook also brings information that
Esmeralda's lover. Dave, has come in
possession of wealth. Dave enters, is
informed of the change in his circum-
stances. and plans are laid TO bring
aim and Esmeralda together. The girl
s being cruelty kept from him by Mrs.
Rogers.
The third act opens in a room at
the Rogers home, where a ball is be
ng given. Esmeraida and her mother
md father enter into a discussion.
Mrs. Rogers desires to have her
daughter marry the rich Marquis de
Montessin; Esmeralda's Thoughts how
ever. are all for her former lover. and
IN this she is upheld by her father:
The climax is passed by Esmeralda's
rising in opposition TO the cruel ways
Of her mother. and in making known
her hatred for the marquis.
In the fourth act the scene returns
20 the studio Dave and Esmeralda
are brought in each others presence.
On being informed Of the wealth Dave
has accrued, Mrs. Rogers no longer
opposes the wishes OF the lovers Es-
tabrook also presses a ring of be-
trothal on Nora's hand. and happiness
is complete on all sides.
