0 7 o makin e Leue The March performance in Baldwin's auditorium of The Man Who Came to Dinner delighted students and adults alike. Miss Ruth Hull came through with her usual superb directing of a play which is often difficult for teen- agers to perform. Assisting Miss Hull was Marilyn Harris, student director. Practically the entire success of the play lies in correct interpretation of the lines. and Miss Hull says it would have been impossible to present such a show if she had not had a cast with previous dramatic experience. Ted Mansfield and Dana Elcar ably portrayed the character of Sheridan Whiteside. Because of their difference in interpretation, many came both nights to Watch each in action. While one was playing the caustic celebrity, the other did Beverly Carleton, the English actor. Other members of the cast were among the elite of BaldWin's thespians. Providing the ever-present love interest were Ieanne Helgeson and Andy Bur- lingame, both experienced actors. The other Woman was ably handled by Donna Polczynski, an actress of great talent. Martina McKinney lent her fine abilities to the part of Mr. Whiteside's flustered hostess, While Bill Bones acted her harrassed husband. Bill Kindley and Barbie Forster did a great job as the children of the house gand Betty Cady, Lloyd Harvey, lim Starr, Greg Peck, Ruth Mills, and Harry Wagner did superb pieces of acting in their respective character roles. . Patsie Higbie, Katherine Gibbons, Marilyn Harris, Charles Coley, Bob Brungraber, and lim Iensen also gave fine per- forrnances. The sophistication and humor of The Man Who Came to Dinner won the hearts of the audience who left with Baldwin has another hit on their lips. -EDMOND D. MANSFIELD. IR. r tp i-.--w,wu1.umm ff- ,

Chifcfren The Nature fanatic is up in his attic, Inspecting a newly caught frog. He has flowers and seeds, grasses and weeds. Not to mention a few pollywogs. All is in bloom and the insects in tune, As the school its doors open wide, With a scream and a shout, the students run out, Their freedom no longer denied. Fishing once more, and sailing galore. Mother Nature has endless resources, After swimming an hour, much food IS devoured. The appetite runs to tour courses. The girls seem to run a contest with the sun, To be brown is a must to their clan, First pour on the oil, then lie down to boil, And hope not to sunburn, but tan. The summer speeds by with cr tear cmd a sigh. And school recaptures her flock, To study all day without any play o the students is quite a big shock T . The time is too short for the outdoor sort, No matter the thing that they do, So you'd better watch out, Mother Nature, no doubt, Will cast out her spell over you! -IOAN CHAPEL.
