YANkToN STUDENTS STAGE
IMPRESSIVE GREEK PlAY

Yankton. SD, June a. "rhe Heart
or Spring" a Greek pantomime Of
dances, was given before a large audi
n in the outdoor Garden Terrace
theater on the Yankton college campus
last evening by go young women OF the
physical training department of the
college. The play without words tells
the story. with music and dances, of
the JOY of mortals and spirits alike up
on the arrival OF the. Goddess of Spring,
and every character entered into her
part with real enthusiasm and made it
a success.
The argument of the play showed
Pan, God of Music, in the person of
Miss Bessie Stratton. searching for the
oddess of Spring and holding a
jubilee in the forest of the mortals
with his fairies and flowers. The
North Wind and his followers, sleet,
then appeared and blighted the flowers,
who We're then revived by South Wind
and the rain drops. Spring appeared,
pursued by Apollo, who also seeks her
hand, and who, in rage at her escape
from him, changes her into a statue.
me next day Athenian youths and
maldens in the park discovered and
admired the new statue, but were
frightened away by the thunder of
Apollo. That night Pan returned, and,
recognizing the statue, piped sweet mu-
sic and brought it back to life. bringing
JOY and gladness to the hearts of all.
