The Concert Plan
Good morning, Anne!
Diana!
Are you all right?
Yes, I am. It just hurts a little.
Don't push yourself too hard, Anne.
Yes, I know.
Let's walk carefully.
I'm all right.
It was October again when Anne was ready to go back to school.
Oh, it's so beautiful!
It's almost like the trees and the birds are celebrating my return to school.
Being alive is such a wonderful thing!
You've been in your house for too long.
Good morning, Anne! It's been a long time!
Good morning.
Is your ankle all right now?
Can you walk again?
Yes, of course.
Thank goodness. We were always waiting for your return.
Thank you, everyone! Thank you!
Miss Stacy is playing ball!
Miss Stacy! Do your best!
Anne, Miss Stacy is really wonderful.
Here goes!
Be careful!
Miss Stacy, hang in there!
Most of the boys lose against her. But Gilber...
Gilbert is on par with her.
Here it goes!
Teacher, go!
Let's stop here for this morning.
All right, teacher. We'll play again tomorrow morning!
Of course.
Good morning, Miss Stacy.
Oh, Anne Shirley! Are you all right already?
Yes, teacher.
Sometimes we have to deal with difficult things.
But it can't always be handled with courage and feelings.
For example, Anne shirley learned this and had to pay with her ankle.
But if we are to find a cause of this,
I think it's because your dare game needs more rules.
For example,
the darer must do his own dare when the dared cannot do it.
If there was this rule,
there wouldn't be any serious danger when playing dare.
Why do you think any kind of sports has it's own set of rules?
Please think about the reason behind it.
Then let's begin our lessons.
Today all the classes will do the same thing.
What's going on?
What are we going to do?
Do you know what this flag is?
The Union Jack.
Right.
And this one?
The French flag.
Every country has its own flag.
Canada has one for each state.
A flag can represent a country, house or state.
But does this school of Avonlea have one?
No!
It hasn't!
I think we're going to make one.
Let's make a school flag!
That's right!
Let's all think of a flag for Avonlea school today.
Wonderful!
We can use this flag to cheer in the sports meet, for example.
A flag can unite everyone.
That's right!
Then let's find a symbol that suits Avonlea.
Think of something which represents Avonlea and draw it on a sheet of paper.
Yes!
Welcome back, Anne.
From the way you run, your leg should be fine.
Yes.
Oh, Marilla. Today I'm incredibly happy!
I love Miss Stacy with my whole heart.
When she pronounces my name I feel INSTINCTIVELY that she's spelling it with an E.
Really.
Of course it's not just because of that.
She's wonderful in all aspects.
What is that thing?
This?
It's a flag.
I can see that its a flag,
but has a strange look.
Yes... It didn't turn out well.
I wanted it to represent the wood's, but I added too many things on.
Miss Stacy picked up 3 pictures from the flags we did
that represented Avonlea the best.
Of course mine didn't get chosen.
And the best flag was chosen by everyone.
The three of them were beautiful
but my favorite was the one made by Roman Campbell.
The mere glance attracts you
because it was very original and creative.
Roman was always getting scolded by Mr. Phillips for not paying attention
and we often teased him for that.
He never tried his best until now.
Now I changed my opinion of him.
And I understand that Miss Stacy is a very fair person.
She's not like Mr. Phillips that was always demanding and expounding homework.
She appears to be a good teacher.
Doesn't she?
Marilla, I have no gift for art
but I have confidence Miss Stacy will like my today's work.
And what work is that?
It's a composition.
And you know I'm good at them, don't you?
The topic is: What I want to do in my future.
My my. It's an interesting topic.
If it wasn't interesting enough, nobody would be interested to write it.
After I finish my homework I'll come to help out.
You forgot to clean the milk bottle.
Anne Shirley, you must write a good composition.
You must work hard to impress Miss Stacy.
Anne, if you don't come down soon your soup will be frozen over!
How many times do I have to call you?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't write a single word.
Where has all that self-confidence gone?
You can't write the way you talk?
Marilla, talking and writing are very different things.
You have to concentrate harder to write a good composition.
And there's too many things to write about this topic and it's hard to choose just one.
I'm plain and I have a bad temper,
I don't think that even a minister would like me for his wife.
So I'll probably will have to work for a living.
I would like to be a teacher,
but I would need a higher education and would have to study very hard.
Now that you mentioned, your parents were teachers, weren't they?
Yes. That's why I think I have the chance to become one.
My mother didn't look like Miss Stacy
but I'm sure she was a good teacher.
But maybe the ambition of being a teacher is a little small.
OH! I would love to be a trained nurse.
Wouldn't be nice to go with the Red Crosses to the field of battle as a messenger of mercy?
That is, if I don't go out as a foreign missionary.
That would be very romantic!
But one would have to be very good to be a missionary.
And that would be a stumbling block.
I think all you need to do is write about the things you said to us just now.
Yes, your teacher should be able to understand what you want to say.
Matthew...
Thank you, Marilla!
Now it will be much easier.
Well, now hurry up and eat.
Yes. I'm very hungry now.
Anne's hard work did not go unnoticed by Miss Stacy.
Anne Shirley received great honors, and the teacher's trust.
But Anne was not the only one receiving special treatment.
Miss Stacy would take the students out for a field trip every week,
teaching both theory and practicals.
And because of the young teacher, the Avonlea children blossomed like flowers.
And November came.
Christmas is coming soon, and I have a plan to discuss with you all.
As you all know Christmas is coming.
I wish to hold a concert in the public hall this Christmas.
Good idea, teacher!
I see everyone likes the idea.
There is a motive for this concert.
I want to use the money to make a flag for Avonlea School.
I asked everyone to draw a flag, right?
I want the image of that flag to be the symbol of our school
and it will represent us wherever we go.
Diana, it's wonderful! I always wanted to take part in a concert.
Teacher, what will we do in the concert?
We'll decide together, of course. You will all participate in the concert.
Then the concert will be more than just music recitals?
That's right Matthew.
Because it involves the whole school,
Miss Stacy said each grade will have their own performance.
Other than songs and music we'll have 2 stage acts!
One will be The Society for the Suppression of Gossip.
Isn't interesting?
Yes.
The other it will be The Fairy Queen.
I really want to take part in this one.
And also in the tableau.
A tableau?
That's right. It's a scene from the Bible.
It's called Faith, Hope and Charity.
That seems very difficult.
Yes it is. The three of us will have to express ourselves just by our looks.
But with Miss Stacy's guidance I feel I can do anything!
We haven't decided yet who will play the characters, but...
Now I remembered, I have to go out for a while.
Oh, Diana, I really envy you.
You'll be able to sing a solo song.
Anne, don't be so pessimist.
You will probably take part in the drama.
I have something to confess, Diana.
If they chose me to be the Fairy Queen,
I would be able to jump down into this pool of cold water without hesitation.
Did I said something funny?
Oh, Anne...
But I don't think they will choose you.
Oh... I never though that my best friend Diana,
would make such a cruel statement!
Because... because...
Because of my hair?
I never saw a red-haired Queen.
No, Diana, I won't lose hope.
Because I don't think it would be strange to have a red-haired Queen.
Otherwise red-haired girls would be pitiful.
Oh... why is my hair red?
Then we'll decide the roles of the 6th graders for the Fairy Queen.
For the Fairy Queen, will be...
Jane Andrews.
You'll take the role of the Queen. Stand up.
Yes, teacher.
And the fairies will be played by Tillie Boulter, Josie Pye and Anne Shirley.
What's wrong, Josie?
Josie, I understand your disappointment,
but every role has its challenges and difficulties.
When you start practicing you'll see that all roles are important.
So please don't be cross because we must work together to make the concert a success.
Will I be able to memorise all my 3 performances?
Oh, I have 3 performances too!
But the role of Queen that Jane will play it's the most important one.
I can't believe that I was chosen.
But I'll do my best to not disappoint everyone.
But the Queen just needs to stand there motionlessly,
it's a boring role that anyone can do.
You're right, Josie.
Thank goodness you're not taking this role.
That's right.
I've never heard of a fat Fairy Queen.
What are you saying?
I've never heard of a red-haired fairy either!
Isn't it nice to think that fairies are all different?
Whether fat, skinny or red-haired.
You're right. Now that we know our roles, we'll have to do our best
because this is for the school flag.
Of course. I will do my best.
Oh, I won't lose to you.
Me neither.
My fairy friends, action!
Let's do our best!
My tragic life!
Anne!
My tragic life!
Anne, w-what happened?
Marilla. How did it felt?
Did you felt that I had my heartbroken?
What are you saying?
I came in worried because you sounded like you were dying!
Oh, I'm sorry.
But please don't be frightened.
I was just practicing for the concert drama.
What concert?
Stop making strange animal-like noises.
But I won't sound like that character unless I practice.
I have to groan heartrendingly in one of them,
and it's really hard to get up a good artistic groan.
Groan heartrendingly?
Such nonsense.
I have no interest in rearing animal-sounding actresses in this house!
Animal-sounding?
Then I still have a lot to practice.
Please, stop!
I can't stand those screams!
Please practice anywhere, except in my house.
I understand. But I have others I need to practice for!
I'm taking part in 4 performances.
A choir, two recitals, a dialogue and a tableau.
I'm to be Hope.
And I am to be all draped in white with my hands clasped--so--and my eyes uplifted.
Really. I understand.
But don't forget the housework and your studies.
Of course, Marilla. I won't forget.
Although Anne had good intentions,
just as Marilla had worried, Anne only thought about the concert.
She was always practicing and couldn't concentrate in the houseworks.
Diana was also practicing her solo because she didn't want to lose to Anne.
And the other children also improved a great deal under Miss Stacy's guidance.
But of course, Marilla disliked Anne's passionate involvement.
So you came home late today too, Anne?
I'm sorry.
We had practice again today.
You're wasting time with nonsense that ought to be put on your lessons.
But...
I don't approve of children's getting up concerts and racing about to practices.
It makes them vain and forward and fond of gadding.
But think of the worthy object.
A school flag will cultivate a spirit of patriotism, Marilla.
Fudge!
There's precious little patriotism in the thoughts of any of you.
All you want is a good time.
Well, when you can combine patriotism and fun, isn't it all right?
Anne, all I want is you to behave yourself.
I'll be heartily glad when all this fuss is over and you'll be able to settle down.
You are simply good for nothing just now
with your head stuffed full of dialogues and groans and tableaus.
As for your tongue, it's a marvel it's not clean worn out.
What's wrong, Anne?
Oh, Matthew... I think that rehearsing for the concert is part of schoolwork, but...
Well now, I think the same.
Really, Matthew?
Do you understand how I feel?
Today we practiced the recital for Mary, Queen of Scotland.
I'd like you to listen.
I put my whole soul into it.
On the way home Ruby Gillis told me the way I said...
'Now for my father's soul my woman's heart says farewell'
made her blood run cold!
Well now, I would like you to recite it for me one of these days in the barn.
Oh, Matthew!
But not at the barn. Won't you come to the concert?
Well now, I reckon it's going to be a pretty good concert.
And I expect you'll do your part fine.
Thank you, Matthew!
Now for my father's soul my woman's heart says farewell.
The kind words from Matthew, encouraged Anne again.
As Matthew looks at Anne at her rehearsals, he thought of a unrelated matter.
