It sometimes happens, despite the old tradition, that the show cannot go on. Such, unfortunately, was the case in Someone for Bunny, a comedy belatedly given by the Mimes — belatedly because a sudden change of plans prevented its being given on the date first planned. Then Mary Hubbard became ill and her voice wouldn't even carry to the footlights; so the performance was again put off. Next, because Mary Lou Brady was seized with the flu, the healthy members of the cast were forced to discontinue rehearsals. Finally, on February 6, roughly three months late, Someone for Bunny was presented with all the cast in working order. Favorable reports were received, and it surely can be added to the list of hits presented by the Mimes. 25

MIMES AND MUMMERS Truly the show of shows at the Central circus is the organization known as the Mimes and Mummers (Mimes for short). This Head Show is composed of aspiring Thespians whose sole ambition it is to project emotions across the footlights. Of all the shows under the Big Tent, the ones the Mimes put on about four times yearly are the best. In addition to these, the Christmas play is traditionally given by the Mimes. Students can belong to the Mimes and Mummers only if they pass the tryouts successfully and are elected into the club. Tryouts are held once every semester. Membership is limited to thirty members, but as it may happen that enough do not meet the qualifications, there may be vacancies. Officers for the first semester were Ken Gaalaas, Thea Miller, Joan Blomberg and Art Felker. Connie Chivers, Jack Prellwitz, Mary Hubbard and Muriel Nord served for the second semester.
