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.

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.

We act contradictory to the rest of the world-We sit down and talk over the world's problems. Our dialog is speedy as a bullet, but we have never had to administeriirst aid. Although we consider ourselves broadminded, We try to keep open minded by having guest speakers who go home in perfect condition, wheiher We agree with them or not. Seriously, we realize that we are the people who soon will have a lot of the world on our hands.
