The fairy godmother occupied the center of the stage while the entire company of dolls were lined up on either side.
Cinderella and the prince, each held the end of an open scroll, which bore a printed inscription that could be seen by the audience.
It read: "A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE FAIRY GODMOTHER OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS." A scene of wild enthusiasm followed.
The young people gave three cheers for Mrs.Gray and ended with the High School yell.
The actors came out and were cheered each in turn. Grace, Tom Gray and Reddy had worked the marionettes, it seemed, standing on the back of the table where the theater was placed, while the others, sitting on low stools at the sides where they could see and not be seen, read their lines which had been composed by Anne. "It wasn't so hard as you might think," said Grace, explaining the marionettes to a group of friends.
