The present staff, therefore, be- gan with the feeling that, the great conflict over, and the world on its way back to life as it once was, the task now could probably be handled quite easily in our spare moments. Alas! The number of such moments between Sep- tember first and May twenty-eighth, we find, ap- pears immensely greater in prospect than in retro- spect. Was there even one? Nor did we anticipate the long delays while we waited for materialsg the practical impossibility of getting more than two staff members together at one time, because of crowded schedules and conflicting programsg nor the infinite number of details that must be attend- ed to. On the other hand, neither did we foresee the helpful hands that would be extended to us here and there from outside our own ranks, nor the genuine interest and the co-operative spirit with which our members worked wherever there was need of their efforts. Through them, the task was somehow brought to completion. We offer the result to our friends with the hope that they may find pleasure in its pages. ard Goodyear, Virginia Getz, and Mr. Zwanzig.

THECAULDRON1946 WHEN!! Z The World's a theatre, the earth a stage, Which God and Nature do with actors fill. Senior Cldss Play On November 9, the play Everybody's Crazy was presented by the senior class. The play tells of the struggles of three young col- lege students to raise money by running a haunted hotel. As a last resort, Tommy Wilkins impersonates his cousin, a famed ballet dancer, and Elmer Sneed tries his skill as a psychiatrist. They acquire sev- eral guests, including the girl Herb loves, and her aunt, who refuses to let her niece marry a poor col- lege student. After many hilarious incidents and skirmishes with the ghost, they capture him and learn of a hidden treasure. The boys find it, and everything ends happily. The cast: Herb Stanley, Bill Sanders, Elmer Sneed, Jack Stumpf, Tommy Wilkins, Bob Carius, William Bates, Wayne Strunk, Ketura Katt, Virginia Getz, Julia Mather, Mary Sorensen, Mrs. Spooner, Doris Dausmann, Godfrey Van Gordon, Marland Richard, Caroline Van Gordon, Helen Smith, Adam Pottle, Warren Renner, Libby Ann, Eileen Stetzler, Glad- iola, Ruth Huette, Jasper, Elmer Crager, Ghost ? The day before the play was to be presented, Mar- land Richard suffered a severe head injury While playing in the Chillicothe football game. Lloyd Redi- ger stepped into the breach, learned the part Within twenty-four hours, and gave a good performance.
