....,, gan S A G, A 0911 ,,.... l 4 CDramatics PALS FIRST The first dramatic presentation of the year, PALS FIRST, brought forth an idea which was decidedly an innovation in dramatic production in Coffeyville Junior College: The casting of different persons in each major part, each taking that part for which he or she is best suited. With this plan, many more students may receive training in dramatics than in former years, and at the same time other scholastic work receives less interference, The action is set in a southern environment, the story being woven about the attempted theft of the estate of a young man who is thought to be dead, and its recovery by that person.

:ev S A G A im ,,... HEVERYMANH Undoubtedly the most noteworthy performance that has ever been staged by players of Coffeyville Junior College was EVERYMAN, a fifteenth century morality play, dealing with the idea of universal mortality. Everyman is summoned to die by Death, the messenger of God. He is allowed to take with him any friends he-may wish, but out of all earthly things he has known, only his Good Deeds will accompany him to the grave.

B i l l Sims --:o:--- HFIGUREHEADSU The other dramatic success of the year, FlGUREHEADS, is of that type of play which owes its success to the beauty of the costumes and setting. The scene of all the action of the play is the castle of the Princess of Ponderay, which might be anyplace, but which may easily be imagined as a Balkan country. The story plays upon the thought that rulers are all merely the puppets of their subjects. THE CAST: Princess Felicia of Ponderay ......................... .,..,.
