GIVEN SATURDAY
Based Upon the Old Story of the
Pied Piper of Hamelln
The pageant, "The Wayside Piper,"
will be given under the auspices of
the Y. W. C. A. on the farm campus
Saturday afternoon, May 14, at 3:30
o'clock. "The Wayside Piper" is
based upon the old story of "The
Pied Piper of Hamelin." In the pro
logue it is shown how the piper gets
his music and the three graces are
personified by three girls taking the
parts of Faith, Hope and Love. In
the council scene which follows, the
Spirit of Service has called together
her counselors tc- discuss the poblem
of the needs of girls. The counsel
ors are from the workshops, the fields
and campus, suggesting the three
large divisions of association work
among city, country and college girls.
Each counselor states what Bhe sees
to be the need of her girls and there
seems to be no evident solution for
the problem until the Wayside Piper,
wandering in, overhears their words
and pipes his magic music.
Then to him is given, the sacred
charge of going out into the highways
of the world to attune the inner lives
of girls to his clear, true notes.
Three short scenes are given rep
resenting girls in industrial, country
and college life. They show how the
Piper succeeds In awakening a re
sponse, giving them n6w joy, and the
consciousness of a pnrpose in, life.
In the closing scene, the Piper
brings all the girls together, carrying
