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- ,

How many, many times a green student troops into a classroom to try his hand at solving the riddle of the ages! Alter weeks ot lessons, mistakes, and much hard work, he at last acquires the desired technique of getting all the problems correctly solved. The course completed, he leaves, arrogantly sweep- ing past the new batch of baffled be- ginners. This is an everlasting evolu- tionary process, puzzled p r o b l e m' solvers! We find studious Iohn Simetz and Iohn Broden working amidst the test tubes. The two pretty femmes, Ioyce Watkins and Mary Corin, prove that this isn't a man's world by coming down to earth for some serious-minded ex- periments and even outwitting the male brain once in a while. Hope they know what they're mixing, never can tell when things might start poppin' in the chemistry lab! C6156 an Oh, but it looks so easy when Mother does it! wail the home econ- omics students. Barb Spillman does cr little research on the delicate art ot cookery while Marion Honsberger learns by experience just how to set an attractive table. Dorothy Bergoine and Mabel Woodhull are trying to whip together one ot those delightful con- coctions we dream about. May they have the best of luck in fu- ture cooking and all get A's, for as the old saying goes, The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. The integral part of every assembly here at Baldwin that receives the least recognition and publicity is the ad- vancing ot the colors. Although it is seldom mentioned, no assembly would take place without it. For these are the minutes during each weekly pro- gram when every student's mind and heart are with our servicemen, praying tor them, starkly aware of the great sacrifices being made every minute to keep just such kids as Baldwin's free forever. The Boy Scouts who so proudly bear the colors and hold them high for all to see while they pay tribute by singing The Star Spangled Banner, are Harry Wagner and Stan Boynton.
