: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.

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 ......................... .,..,.

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.

M n Injbrmal Reunion The scene of this little drama of life as it sometimes is takes place in the palatial eight by twelve office room on the eleventh story of the Plaza building, enclosing the legal establishment of Akers and Noel, attorneys- against-law. As the curtain rises. one sees the brethren seated on chairs before a battered roll-top desk. Dust sits heavy and here and there a cob-web may be espied. On the desk in front of Attorney Akers is a bright, clean spot, made by cards sliding back and forth. Akers: Two spades, I guess. Don't spose anyone'll interrupt the game today, do you? Noel: No such luck. Two no trump. Where the deuce'd l put that cigar butt from yesterday? Akers: I nailed it last night. Sorry. Call the porter and see if he's through with that cigarette yet. The twain are interrupted by a jangling of the telephone. Akers: l'll get it, l'll get it. Noel: 'ASav, who's the president of this firm? I'll get it. He grasps the phone gently but firmly. Noel: Ml-lello, hello. Hello. Eh? no, this is 6807J. Akers: Wrong number again, bein? Good thing there's something to keep the phone from blowing away. A sedate figure enters with dignified step. Akers: Hello, doctor, how are you, Brainard old partner? Brainard: Well, nothing much doing today. Thought I'd drop in for awhile. Say, better latch the door. Landlord Newman is around. Noel: Thanks l'll get that. Say, see my good-looking new over- coat? Picked it up down at the Dale coffee-shop yesterday. Brainard: Classy. l like that. Get me one, sometime will you? Another figure ankles in. The nose is long and inquisitive-looking. Noel: Come in Lech, old man. Through for today? Lechleitner: Yep, I wrote my one news item for today. Noel: And here comes Drake. What luck, Pal? Drake: Say, lads, l got a story published today! Have dinner with me tonight. Noel: Ye gods, am I hearing things? Can this be true. Akers: About time. l haven't eaten for a week. Drake: Yep, I'll be rich for a week, if I-lildreth doesn't catch me. l'le's got nine accounts of mine to collect now. Lechleitner: And eight of mine. Power to him, if he can squeeze blood out of a turnip. Noel: f'And there's Lash. Come in, and Jordan, too. I-low's tricks up at college, Jordan? Jordan: Great. We draw our pay next week. again, and I haven't been canned yet. Lash: Come out in the hall, fellows. I've got something for you. PAGE 48 1931 SAGA
