Not on- ly the audience, but the cast applauded Terry Cwallyj Kinney with laughter at his unexpected ad-libbing, while Shorty fStretchj Shawler, Terry's ridiculously stupid pal entered, saying Hoody, everybody, hoody. We will always remember Pat Hotaling fwho stood through the entire play for fear of ripping her skin-tight, gold dressy and Phil CLimpyJ Seymour who forgot his stage money after robbing the bank. Scuze the intrusion, p1ease and in came Cathy fRoughhouse Rubyy Neidlinger, 'restling champene of the east, followed by her husband, Hoiman, played by Lauren Howe. Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell, CTim Moore and Carol Houckj were the poor parents, victims of Wally's money-making scheme. Linda CAunt Maryj Loller was also bewildered when she stopped to look in on things and saw funny little people. We mustn't forget Mr. Potter, our insurance salesman, played by Dale Sweet, and Linda fLucy Burnsj Leighton, our book-toting encyclo- pedia-. It has been noted that since the performance of The Board- ing I-louse' Reach, little children have been seen imitating the walk of Cathy fMrs. Mottj Weinheimer, the little old lady who said nothing, just walked around and stared. We will never forget that last week when the entire cast existed on black coffee, while homework was left for another dayg and the fun provided by the wisecracks and witticisms of Mr. James, our faithful director to whom we shall be forever grateful.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE ENGLISH STUDENTS DISCUSSITHE PROBLEMS ON THEIR MINDS TODAY WITH MR. VICARY, SOME OF THEIR LITERARY PAPERS WERE SELECTED FOR ECHO M,Qvement,forward, advance to an ob- jective, gradualybettermentl' - the diction- ary uses such phrases to define the word progress. Certainly we are familiar with this term and its application today. Progress, in some form, may be said lu occur in al- most any aspect of modern life. Yet, do we fully understand the true nature of prog- ress itself? Of what fabric is this very broad generality woven? Perhaps progress may be broken down in- to two distinct categories, the physical and the spiritual or human. Everywhere in mod- ern America may be found examples of phys- ical progress. 'Ilechnological advancement in the form of adtomation is omnipresent, to the point of being a major economic problem. In this instance, progress has re- vealed an undesirable facet, unemployment, in the wake of increasing productivity. Sky- scrapers rising above a teeming metropolis, suspension bridges arching over rivers and streams, in a matterof hours from America's east to west coast - these are all contempo- rary illustrations of the progress which we, as a nation, are experiencing. Such 'im- provements make our world a far more com- fortable place in which to live. The gad- get civi1ization is a direct result of prog- ress in this sense of the word. PROGRESS Far more important, however, is the latter type, a highly elusive and abstract concept which no one can claim to compre- hend perfectly. We cannot pinpoint it neatly and place it into a little drawer in a systematic manner, but we are given fre- quent glimpses of its essence. A bitter dis- agreement may leave us frustrated and angry, but we quietly turn the other cheek as it were, and refuse to let hatred triumph. We may suddenly discover that the opin- ions of others should no longer be consisten- tly rejected, and that there are flaws in our own philosophies. Someday, we may go out of the way to speak to the Negro woman down the street - to treat her like a human being with innate worth. At that time, it will be hard to look back upon the cold tolerance which once persuaded us to mind our own busi- ness and let them-mind theirs. These are all steps, small ones perhaps, but steps nevertheless, in an eternal march. They are small battles fought and won. This is the greatest progress by far, for when we have achieved its goal, we shall be free. - Andrea Smith p THE YOUTH WE ARE TODAY What is the younger generation coming to? This question is asked -by many people of the older and middle generation. Perhaps we as teenagers are too quick to ruffle our feathers and offer the excuse that we're no worse than your generation. All too soon, we will be the generation that will be the judges of the youth still in rompers. I hope, that we will remember the time, not so long ago, when we wanted free- dom and responsibility. We must remember the good and honorable qualities that we found in our fellow-classmates We must understand their sometimes overpowering physical energy, and their adventuresome ways. We must try to be leaders of youth and not give up wlEn we do not see instant angels. 'As parents and good citizens we must try to guide their lives, so that they will be able to cope with their generation's problems, no matter how great. We must give them good morals to build on. If the social morals of today are said to be declin- ing, what of tomorrow's morals? The out- rage that we feel when we are criticized will probably be relived by the next genera- tion, and we should try to channel this re- sentment in the rignt direction. When col- ! .1
