IN THE SMALL TOWN
Aai the school year draws to a close
it Is not unusual to hear a student
give expression to a sentiment stfme-
hting like this: I don't know hrw I
will stand it to go back and lire in a
6mall town. Four years in college
makes a great change in the life of
many students. Their life here has
been so different than it was 'r. the
small town that they are depressed hy
the thought of going back there to
live. Eut surely this cannot typify
the spirit of higher education.
If a University training unfits men
and women for life in a small otwn it
is a detriment instead of a help to
' them. If it inculcates ideals and
standards of living that require city
life to satisfy it has little justification.
If a University education should do
anytihng for an individual it should
bring him to a realization that he
owes a service to society a greater
service than the average individual
owes because he is better fitted to
render such service.
The small towns need men and
women with a college training to be
leaders in their communities. There
are opportunities in these smaller
towns for college graduates to do a
great work. Your way may lead to
the city. Eut if you find yourself in
a small town there is no reason for
regret. An education should be the
basis of a greater life of usefulness
whether that life be spent in the city
or the country.
OUTLINE SKETCH OF
THE "SUNKEN BELL"
Mountain Scenes Fairy Like Creatures
and Wood Sprite Feature in the
Senior Play
An outline sketch of the "Sunken
Bell," the Senior play which Is to be
given at the Oliver Theatre, Friday,
June 4, will be interesting to those
who are planning to attend.
The fintt act opens at the mountain
hut of Rautendelien (Ella Williams).
to Is seated near the well combing
her thick golden hair. She is busy
talking with a little bee when the
play opens and she tells the Insect to
look elsewhere for honey; then h
calls down the well to the NIckelman
(Harold Campbell), who comes to the
top to visit her. While they are talk
ing the Woodsprite (Ford Bates) en
ters and they converse about the
entrance of the spring and the Wood-
rprite tells her how he has wrecked
the wagon which was drawing Hein-
rlch's (Leon Snyder) wonderful bell
to the top of the mountain. The sprites
and dwarfs hate bells, especially the
church bells, declaring that they are
the disturbers of their ancient
privacy. Then he tells her how he
met a butterfly and they talked to
gether how they should wreck this
bell, the butterfly saying. '"Tie some
terrible tub that has lost Its lid; all of
Iron; if they hang It, those, foolish
people, high up In the heart of the
new church steeple, and they hammer
It and bang at Its sides all day to
frighten the good spirits of earth
away." So the Woodsprite tells how
he hastened away and gave one pull
at the spoke, the wagon broke and
the bell tumbled down the mountain
side and disappeared In the mire.
While the Woodsprite Is talking
Night draws near and with it cries
for help; Heinrich approaches and the
sprites disappear; Heinrich falls nn
conscious before the hut; Old Witti
ken, Reutendelien's grandmother, calls
her to come in: and as she (Nettie
ljfigrange) goes to the door, she sees
Heinrich and kicks him contemptu
ouslv with her foot. Rautendelien
returns and arranges a truss of hay.
Heinrich recovers and learns where
he is; the look in her eyes restores
him to life. Heinrich in a dazed way
tells of his fall. The moonlight ap
pears and the trolls are out for a
frolic and come to Old Wittiken to
be fed. The Woodsprite appears ana
tells them that the earth people are
coming. The Vicar, the Barber and
the Schoolmaster appear and Rauten
delien does not wish to have Hein
rich taken away and draws a magic
circle about him. After a brisk dia
logue with Old Wittiken, the men are
allowed to approach and they carry
Heinrich to his home. The fairy ele
ment comes in and the moonlight
elves come out for a dance and the
scene closes after Rautendelien be
comes disinterested in the fairies and
longs to go to earth and see life
Where will you go?" asks the Nickel-
man. Away ana away, sne replies,
'to the world of men."
The second act brings us to Hein-
rich's home and introduces us to his'
wife Magda (Eva McNamara), and
his two little boys, while they are
awaiting the coming of'Heinrich. A
neighbor brings her the news of her
husband's accident. Before they bring
Heinrich home, the Vicar comes to
console her. Heinrich is very ill and
so despondent that he does not care
to live. His wife does not know how
to account for his pessimistic view
and goes to find a wonder-woman who
ives nearby and heals by faith and
prayer. As sne leaves liautenaenen
appears disguised as a peasant girl
and Magda leaves her to look after her
husband. They renew their love be
gun on the mountain top and he asks
her to stay but she replies that she
would rather have him in her moun
tain home. She mixes a drink for him
which fl'es him with youth; she says
that he is blind because he does not
know her granny; "Soon thou shalt
see, to me Is given the power to open,
every eye I kiss, to the most hidden
mysteries of earth and air." He asks
for the kiss which she gives. Then
he falls asleep as she sings ending
with "one, two, three, a new man be."
When he awakes, he Is made conscious
that his healing has taken place and
he cries with Joy as his wife appears.
