Miss Currie presents Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. WWW T ffatisiv- Central's Pride . . . the new auditorium. CENTRALS AUDITORIUM, dedi- cated in December of 1947, is the best in the city. Finally built after the old audi- torium was considered past repair, Cen- tral's new auditorium has many excellent qualities. One cannot pick out one thing about the auditorium that is outstanding, because everything in it is outstanding. The red seats are about as comfortable as auditorium seats can be made. It is a pleasure to sit out a three-hour play in themg whereas, in the old seats it was a marathon contest. The seats are placed so that each row is higher than the one pre- ceding it. Every student gets a good view of what's going on. Naturally, the audi- torium has a loud speaker system, but this is not absolutely necessary, considering the fine acoustics. Everything that goes on up front is easily heard in the back. Another outstanding feature of the Maud is the lighting system. The lighting is in- direct, and many fine effects can be ob- tained by varying the color of the lights. The auditorium has many other fine quali- ties, too . . . modern design, beautiful color scheme, new curtains, and a spacious stage. The Maud is indeed Central's Pride.
