■yf" - . •THE PIPER'
A GREAT SUCCESS
('X aSfad raoij ponui^uoQ)

Barbara is left behind as they go in ter-
ror from the place. Barbara declares
her love for the Piper, but he begs her
to love Michael, as he does not care for
her. He tries to persuade her that she
loves Michacl-the-Sword-Eater; and
ty ; - '
thence goes back to the children as he
fears that Cheat-the-Devil cannot con-
k trol them. Michael remains to guard
Barbara who, worn out and exhausted
by the excitement of her sodden deliv-
erance, is sleeping under the trees in
the woodland.
When the Piper returns in the third
act, he is worried over what to do with
Barbara. He awakens her; and stupid
from her dream, she mistakes the Piper
and Michael for robbers. The Piper,
ever patient and able to settle all diffi-
culties, explains to her and she begins-
to love Michael. They, Michael and
Barbara, depart to be married, and the
Piper is left to reverie and meditation.
While he is lost in thought, Veronika
comes ringing a bell and crying out for
her little Jan who was carried away.
The Piper, realizing that she is more
deeply grieved than the others, takes
compassion on her and gives her hope
and courage, for he tells her the child
yet lives and is happy. She departs to
tell the others the happy news. The
Piper, left alone, turns to "the lonely
man" and, bowing before the crucifix,
he begs that he may be allowed to keep
the children. The power of feeling and
the worth of the play are forcibly im-
pressed in' this closing seene, and the
dramatic ability of the Piper is brought
out.
The Closing act occurs in Hamelin.
Thfe villagers, realizing the great loss
they have suffered, mourn and grieve
for their children. They toll the ehnrch
bell and bewail their fate; but in the
midst of their sorrow, two of their num-
ber bring in the Piper and he talks to
the people. He calls for Veronika to
come, as he is going to bring back the
children. The crowd tells him she is
dying, bat he goes out and gets little
Jan and brings him in Oh his shoulder.
The others follow and a joyous reunion
takos place. The penitent people bring
out bags of money for the Piper, but he
He takes a sad farewell from the chil-
dren and prepares to go onee more on
his lonely wandering life as a stroller.
He gives little Jan his winged shoe
which the little cripple 4 wore while in
the woods with the Piper; and the child
carries it to his mother; and they place
it before the crucifix to make "the lone-
ly man"
on the market.

JOURNALISM IN SOUTHWESTERN
A great deal of interest has been
manifested in the furtherance of" a
Journalism Department in Southwes-
tern University. The course was first
offered in 1918 by Professor W. Dwigbt
Wentz as a minor's work. This proved
successful and, has been offered during
the spring term of '19 and '20-'21.
Last year a study of the news story
was made and several times during the
year the class, which numbered about
fifteen, put out The Megaphone.
This year a more thorough study 'haB
been made, taking up, first, the history
of journalism and its developments, then
a complete stndy of editorials, the class
contributing editorials and write-ups for
The Megaphone throughout the term.
' An effort is being made by the class
to make this a major work. Thinking
perhaps if a major is not granted to the
journalism work alone, a minor might
be given for-the regular work and a
minor for work done on The Megaphone.
The past week, the class organized in-
to a Press dub, with tfte twenty mem-
bers of the class as charter members,
giving a start and a promising outlook
for next- year.
The local Press Club is affiliated with
the Texas Intercollegiate Press Associ-
ation.
theme of the Bervice was a sentence
taken from Paul's letter to the Philip-
pians, "Finally brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are
honorable, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely ,whatsoever things are
of good report, if there be any virtue
and if there be any praise, think on
these things."
The first talk was made by Hildred
Carter whose subject was honor and jus-
tice. She pictured the honorable man
who possesses justice tempered with
mercy as being he who might enjoy the
kingdom of heaven.
"Truth" was the theme of Eunice
Joiner's message. She told the story
of the young artist who fell asleep be-
fore, his unfinished canvas and dreamed
of the perfection and beauty of the fin-
ished picture. When he awoke the pic-
ture was complete in all its marvelous
beauty. The master had slipped in and
had given his pupil his dream.
Louise Gould in a beautiful talk then
urged the girls to think of the pure and
lovely things of life, for we grow like
those things we think on. There is noth-
ing truly lovely which is not also pure.
Love is the greatest good in the world.
Thus it should be the central theme in
our minds and cause us to live and show
our love for our fellow beings by loving
service. 4
Between the talks Lucy Lee sang
with all sweetness and ease the beauti-
ful song, "Consider and Hear Me," by
Wooler; Beryl Knicneroociter played
Godard's "Venetienne" with exquisite
feeling and grace.
The service closed with a prayer by
Laura Courtney that we might have
within our hearts that purity and love-
liness, that truth and honor so necessary
to the Christian life.
Gus Cox has gone home for a short
visit before Commencement.

PARAGRAPHS
Students have been trying to obtain
copies of Edison's questions as a short-
cut to cramming.
While the faculty may have made the
exam schedule to go by the clock, it's
quite evident they did not go by the
