BE PRODUCED AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL
Synopsis of the PIay-RehearsaIs Give
Promise of an Enjoyable
Entertainment

Several scenes from the play, "Alice
in Wonderland" were photographed
Saturday as soon as the costumes ar
rived, and these photographs nave
been placed in show windows about
town. The play itself, which is re-
plete with scores of witty sayings and
comical scenes, is briefly as follows:
Alice, after jumping up after the
fall through the rabbit hole, exciaims:
Il don't believe l should mention it if
should fall off the house top now"
She wanders about in a very lonely
manner until the White Rabbit sour
at the sight of her. Soon the duchess
comes in scolding at the cook, and as
she and Alice engage in conversation,
the duchess Cheshire cat appears;
but after a few very saucy remarks to
Alice disappears, leaving nothing but
his grin. Alice stands looking at this
in amazement when a trumpet sounds
and the king and queen and their
whole retinue appear. They are much
astonisned at seeing Alice, and also
at the appearance of the cats head
just above Alice. The queen in a rage
cats head, but ne doesn't know how
to cut off a head when there amt no
body to cut it off, and is Immediately
carried off the stage at the frenzied
order of the queen.
At this juncture the duchess appears
and remarks that her Cat mad just
come running in saying that he had
seen the queen looking as lovely as
dream" The Queen, very much flat
tered, pardons every body, and all join
in a dance around Alice.
In act two Alice comes up and finds
the March hare, the dormouse and the
mad halter sitting at a long tea table.

they compel the dormouse, who has
been sleeping peacefully all the time.
to tell them a story. However, find
ing the story somewhat tiresome, they
put him on his head in the tea pot,
when the gryphon and the mock turtle
enter. The mock turtle is prevailed
upon to tell them the story of his life.
and to dance the lobster quadrille, with
the aid of the gryphon. In the midst
of the dance the White Rabbit appears
and subpoenas them all as witnesses
in the trial of the Knave of Hearts.
The scene of the third act is in the
palace of the king. The court is as
sembled and the Knave is accused of
having stolen some tarts that the
queen had made. The halter, VINO in
sists that he is poor man, the COOK

witnesses The king is insisting for
about the twentieth time that the jury
consider their verdict, when the queen
interrupts, saying that the sentence
should come first, the verdict after
wards. Alice at this exclaims that it
is all nonsense; the queen shouts to
tho guards to arrest her. Alice stamps
her foot and dares them to come on,
and the play ends in confusion as the
whole court rush at her.

The birds go winging south,
The insects softly Groom:
The worlds all autumn sun and harvest

And falling leaves-and falling leaves
Ny efforts fail; the fruit tried TO seize
Is hanging out of reach; success still fees;
Flee love and happiness,
And life now ever seems
All disappointed hopes and vanished dreams.
And falling lcayes-and failing leaves.
The trees are stripped, their summer gar.

The noble boughs revealed are sharply

Against the glorious sky.
Till Spring shall wake, the fiowers sleep
And the roses of June are buried deep
In fallen leaves-in fallen leaves.

But life's grand purpose has To me been

Till hope shall wake, my heart must sleep
And the joys of my life are buried deep
