All actors to their places! On with the show! The waving red mane of Art Curtis slowly rises above six feet ot deliberation. Mr. President,- IVIr.

The scene opened in the wee, somnific hours of the morning before any respectable alarm clock would think of raising its voice. The aber- rant characters jumped briskly l?l from their cozy beds to go on sunrise hikes. Although it's common knowledge that Old Sol has never missed a performance in millions of years, these noncontormists had to see for themselves. In winter the setting was changed: they sped down the Chautauqua Hills on skis, or at least they started on skis.

When the proscenium drapes opened this time, the Flash Bulb Fiends scene was exposed. The actors portrayed the considerate people with black boxes who subtly approach from behind and, snap! they have you in their prints. The abstract statement of the play's philosophy may be thought of as, Any sacrifice for a candid shot. Their dialog was very technical. They raved about filters, soft focus, and shutters: when the lead finally muttered something about intra-red, one began to characterize him as the radical leader of the Checked Shirts, or something. Photography Club Science Club I 'Gi The lights dimmed as the human bloodhounds for the truth stealthily took their positions on the stage. These atom pursuers, these scientific Sherlocks tracked down the truth, regardless of its hiding place. When a new scientific theory was published our actors X-rayed, and test tubes detected it before they accepted its innocence. Occasionally they relied upon the idea that seeing is believing and proved their point conclusively with motion pictures. Their climax speech always was, Quick, Watson, the Bunson Burner. llclly Andcrcs, Ed Blom, Rex Bolling, Icnnette Carlson, Arthur Curtis, Winifrcd Dnglcish, Grace Dindnto, Doris lzckmun, Shirley li1lIl1Lll1ClS, Gene Field, Rosuri Foli, Bcity Goodcnougli, Margaret Griswuld, Lucy Guerra, Viola Hodas, Durotliy Horn, Mnric Hurley, Gladys johnson, Dororliy Kippcl, Anthony Leone, Virginian Newman, llairrison Schneider, loc Scigcl, Rowena Stillman, Conccttu Vitruno.

With no fear of plaguarism, we bill this scene a well filtered, censored version of The Women. After such a process, the only coincidence between the two plays is the name and gender of the performers. At Christmas time, the feminality obtained membership in Kriss Kringle's union by acting as his apprentices at a children's Christmas party. In our paraphrase, The Women congregated to exchange Womanly confidences without the customary Did you hear's? Their parties and convocations always strove to create a responsive feeling of amity. Y. W. C. A. Newman Club I F1 l Like a good cake recipe, a play must provide a variety of ingredients tor a successful end product. It should have its pinch of satire, its spoon of romance, and its cup ot humor thoroughly warmed by a spiritual glow. These actors provided the glow and Warmth of church fellowship. They gained the effect through teas, suppers, and retreats. When we theatrical connoisseurs tasted our culinary effort, we were much too polite to smack our lips, but we did venture to ask for a second helping. lilizahctli Anglim, llcatricc Atzrnu, Icssic lturzilluri, Katharine ltucklcy, Hclcn Chrispcn, Betty Ccnlncr, Ianc Cirrilu, Paul Connelly, Frances Conti, Ioscpliinc Constanza, Mary Inc Crane, Mary Crowley, liilwin Draws, Iolin Fitzgerald.

The cast oi the fall play called tor a toe dancer. Even the art ot social dancing is not any too widely spread, without asking for piruetting about on the small fraction of one toe. But on opening night, Zorina Ieanne and ten yards ot ruifies appeared, ready to trip the light iantastique.

The cause of their phlegmatic mood can be traced back to when they first entered an institution of higher learning and were given their first educational feeding: the instructor made the unfortunate error of teaching them to read. Ever since, they have been conditioned to thrive on literary ligurnes. To induce more converts to their diet, they established an office in the library where they rented out menus.

That was merely a rhetorical question, and we were referring to art without a last name. Acting as dilettantes, We actors really abandoned ourselves to the characters we were to interpret. We dabbled and loabbled, and part of the time we smoothed back our long black hair and chiseled,-chiseled the most beautiful what-do-you-callums out of soap. Our crowning contribution to the play was the securing of profess- ional exhibits. In a cartoon exhibit, we touched the play with a bit of comedy relief. The exhibit faced three doors marked principal, director of training, and dean-respect -ively and -fully. After an actor had paid an involuntary visit to one of these portals, he sometimes looked like an anemic ghost of Hamlets ghost. We took our cue and hung up the exhibit. Since then, no tragedy has ever been fatal. I Plural Clulo The future abcedarians of the little red school house Wrote a new production for this season. They chose a rural setting, several farmer- ettes, and the theme Ease of teaching eight grades simultaneously. During their play, the budding educators fostered a conglomeration of treats for the little darlings. From the admixture, we sorted out the thrills of The Wizard of Oz matinee and savory odors from hot school lunches. Theatre critics often turn a cold shoulder to new, upstart playwrights. We're borrowing the self-styled title, but not the attitude: to the Rural Club we award headline press notices.

When the play was cast this year, these pert young modems were assigned the role of counselors: they are a sort of 1940 model of Elaine with all her attributes-and minds of their own, besides. As school opened, into theirisisterly arms came the traditionally bewildered freshgirl. Homesickness wasn't given a chance as the about- to-be-orientated freshies were subjected to a powerful week-end at the lake, which tried its best to murmur over their hilarious chatter. During the year the streamlined Elaines and their little sisters planned a social calendar of parties, teas, and suppers where they mixed the social graces and downright fun into a tangy, appetizing dish known as good fellowship goulash. bfi Sophomore Sisters Men Counselors Pershing William Thomas 41 3 I Q9 '45 snr '- , Q f, Don't look now, but these are our model actors.

Early in the fall, these Galahads laid their armor among the oil cans and took their young charges to commune with nature and the mosquitoes at the freshman camp. In comparative quietude, the prompting went on efficiently until the dawn of the day of initiation.

They learned the proper cues for ,I trumpet, correct noises for the French Horns, and various other stage techniques.

At an October assembly, Dr. Clyde Fisher brought meteors and meteorites to earth with an illustrated lecture. We were much impressed by the distinguished doc- tor with the wavy hair, and it the audi- ence's attention was divided the cause was the speakers attractive wife, the Princess Te Ata. Letting their lights emerge from the bushel, the House of Christolter Hill Billies and the slightly hazy Barber Shop Quartet were but two examples of what made the Variety Show a shining success. jr fur 'Sa t -XX 'Nia-. , . s X N It x Nc X-J Spectrum-colored gowns, sott music, coveted decorations, and an occasional trodden toe blended to make the Sopho- more Prom something to be remembered in those dreamy moments. The convocation dealing with Youth's Problems was considered an undertak- ing valuable to the school and the com- munity. Dr. Spaulding, an outstanding speaker, will be remembered as one who Gave not only advice, but returned his check oi one hundred dollars to begin work on the local Youth Program he had outlined!

Even the most dignified ot Normalites paid homage to the Christmas Angels on the stairway. One of the functions which transformed seniors into confident, poised individuals was Senior Teas. Having once acquired the art of tea-cup juggling, seniors were otten known to partake of the second cup, along with whatever the faculty group could be subtly cornered, led, or smiled into a conversational mood. In April, the Modern Dance Group gave a unique interpretation of Our America. With swaying bodies as means of communication, they presented phases of American living such as Our.Work, Our Play, and Our Faith. X W5 tel..

Since their title is a new one in the cast, we looked it up in the popular book by Webster. That Wordy man gives the derivation of the Word sophomore as coming from the Greek word sophos, wise and moros, foolish. So our casting manager decided they were in a state of transformation-for the better, of course.
