Good Sense : I am glad of your appreciation, but I will confess I am not as easy to win as are my sisters. I come to whomsoe'er I choose and little they have to do with it. Ambition and Perseverance obey your will, but I do not. I may desert you at your utmost need. I may come when all else fails and win the day for you. It is well for you to pray constantly for me, but you can never claim to have me, for even with the words you show you have me not.

[Sound of singing is heard in distance, gradually increasing in volume. Any rousing song sung hy school at games will ansiver.^

EvERYSTUDEXT I Succcss, somc of mv friends are coming to celebrate a victory. Will you remain? [This is said tuhile singing is faint. Success remains in golden cloak. Pekseveraxce, Good Sense and Ambition remain also. Exit Wisdom, L. As crowd enters, lights brighten. Enter at L., Truth, as an old woman. Enter at R., Good Times, Classmate, Bluff, Athletics, still singing u'pi'oariously.']

Good Times : How was that for a game ? [Slapimig Everystu-DENT on the had-.'] Give another cheer [all cheer']. Now, Athletics, a speech. [Exit Good Times, to dress for last appearance.]

Athletics: My eloquence lies in action, not in words. Those who have followed me, in company with my good friends whom I see before me—Good Sense [bowing 7'ecognition across stage] and Perseverance [boiuing to her] and who are led on by Ambition [boiving to her] have always had with them our glorious friend. Success [indicating her with a sweep of his hand]. I find myself in very congenial company, thanks to someone. Whoever makes me one of this worthy group of friends will find that I bring others of equal worth in my set: Health and Strength and Energy are three, and Obedience and Self-Eeliance are two more whom I delight to honor. [All listen attentively except Bluff.]
