Freshman play draws capacity crowd THE CLOSED DOOR On the initial evening of Home-coming Week, No- vember 23, 1962, the freshman class presented the comedy-drama, The Closed Door, written by Wil- burn Braun. To a packed hoiise, the romantic antics of the heroine with an adventurous young stranger were de- lightful and the play a relaxing affair. The Closed Door is almost unique in content for although it is romantic and a comedy, it also contains strong ele- ments of religious sentiment. The eleven-man cast revolved around one, Portia Gray, a young and beautiful lady-lawyer. Portia was dedicated to her blind sister Louise Gray and in her efforts to have her sisters sight restored, the family is reunited with the Winslow family next door. The Winslow ' s and the Grays had been fast friends for years even to the point of having an inside door con- necting their homes. Upon the outset of a feud this door was nailed shut not to be reopened for years until the occurrence of a providential accident. A delightful three-act drama, and sobering too as the two families unite in common thankfulness at the healing of Louise. The closed door is open yes, but even more important a new world is open to the once blind Louise Gray.

cops clown ' Take one boy, add one girl, and, for spice, throw in a couple of textbooks for English literature or pastoral theology and the product is a college marriage. A number of students at Lee combine the responsibilities of marriage with the pursuit o ' a college education. In many cases only one of the partners attends college while the other works to help meet the budget. A few couples, however, are able to meet their obligations while both complete their education. Among the married students presently enrolled, some of whom now have fami- lies, many met on this campus — and perhaps not really by chance. Here one often finds someone who shares his convictions, goals, dreams and ambitions. It usually begins in the cafeteria. A boy saunters slowly through the crowd and is unable to find a seat anywhere but near the one he has been noticing. Or a girl somehow manages to be at the right place at the right time. The announce- ment that this meeting has produced a steady couple is usually made from the shower stall. But, love is neither blind nor handicapped by classes, assignments, restrictions, or cold showers! Be it June or long week-end, wedding bells ring. 23
