NOBLE DlCKINSONIA CH ARAC1-ERS, A Farce in Four Acts Grandma-a 1945 graduate of Dickinson Ccllege. Lulu Belle-a grandchild and prospective student. Pat and Mike-twins, great-grandchildren. ACT I SCENE: The year 2000. Grandma and Lulu Belle are on their way to town in their little red helicopter. Grandma, dressed in her flying suit, is doing the driving. Lulu Belle is beside her, reading a Dickinson College catalogue. Lulu Belle: Grandma dear, tell me about college. What was it like when you went to school? Grandma: Well, Lulu Belle, I entered college in the fall of 1941. Lulu Belle: That was a long time ago! Tell me more. Gmmlmez: We were all scared to death when we arrived. Everything was strange, and it seemed as though there were a million people. We bid wet farewells to our parents and then settled down for a hard winter's work. The first week of our career was called Freshman Week. There were all sorts of affairs that week-a faculty reception, a banquet, and last but not least, an all-college dance. Once again we settled down for that hard winter's work, but once again we were fooled. Rushing started! For two weeks we had no time to study or sleep or write letters. The upperclassmen kept us pretty busy bowling and going to the movies. Finally we were all rewarded by pledging, and by the beginning of Tribunal. With the coming of football games came wonderful pep rallies. We used to do snake dances down High Street, and before the Gettysburg game there was always a big bonfire on Biddle Field. I doubt if any of our class will forget the H31 Club and Miller for Burgess. The football season was glorious. Rehor and Supulski will always be remembered for being the nation's number one passing duo. The heroic fight of the Dickinson eleven against a stronger Gettysburg team was rewarded by a school holiday. On December 7, 1941, the entire student body was gathered about radios. We knew then that our carefree college days were over. Besides the weekly informals and the frequent fraternity formals, we had several big dances at school that year. First came the Doll Show, for which our class scoured the town for dolls. Next came the midwinter ball. Liz Townsend, a distinguished senior, was queen. Pan-Hell week was fun. The girls had a great opportunity to date the man of their dreams. There were teas, dances, and informals, and the highlight of the week was a big formal held in the gym. Lulu Belle: Oh, Grandma, it sounds divine. Gmndma: Yes dear, it was a wonderful year. ACT II Scams: Grandma is preparing dinner. She is carefully distributing? pink, yellow, and green food capsules on each plate. The twins, Pat an Mike, are crawling around the floor. Pat: Goo, goo, goo. Grandma- You want to hear about college? Mike: Goo, goo!
