Roles :
1. Headmaster

HEADMASTER
Standing at the stage, nervousness seemed to come all over me. However, the familiar walls which greeted me every year and on this same occasion seemed to calm me down. "I can do this..." I cooled myself down. The first sounds of the bagpipe sounded through the hall and I knew that my speech was near. I was ready. By the time the last sounds rang through my head, I was already standing in the middle of the stage. I cleared my voice in a way that it was loud enough to be heard by all.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys, the light of knowledge..."
A NEW STUDENT
I was awoken by loud blaring noises of the bagpipe behind me. It sent a stinging ring throughout for the next few minutes. Opening my eyes wearily, I could see higher grade students marching into the hall. 4 of them was holding a banner each. As the music faded away, the bald headmaster announced, " Boys.... the light of knowledge" Then, a flame was passed on to light our candles. Staring at the glowing flame, I wondered what my future holds for me. Excitedly, I spun around and looked at my parents whom returned equally exhilarated smiles.
