Two entrances
must be provided, one covered by a square framework supposed to
represent a bookcase. Books are across the top. In front of it
hangs a full curtain._
_It will be very effective to have the frame-work representing
the bookcase directly in the center of the stage at back, so that
it is in full view of the audience. A table with books, etc., can
be placed at one side of the stage. A few chairs can be set around
the room but not in a way to hide the bookcase._
_As the Curtain Rises_ SOPHOMORE and FRESHMAN _are seated at
the table._
SOPHOMORE. Now, the Seniors weren't that way last year. You're only a
Freshman, so of course you can't judge, but I never saw so slow a class
as this year's, why they haven't said a word about the entertainment,
and yet everyone knows they ought to give us a Thanksgiving party.
(_any other festival can be substituted here_)
FRESHMAN. A party? What do they have to eat?
SOPHOMORE. They're not likely to have anything this year. If I had known
that last Thanksgiving I would have eaten twice as much. I haven't
anything to be thankful for.
FRESHMAN. But you passed in History. Why don't you tell the Seniors what
they ought to do?
SOPHOMORE. Sh--here comes one of them. (_rises and goes to meet_ SENIOR)
(_Enter_ SENIOR, _tired out, she sits down with a great sigh of relief.
