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.

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.
