the backdrop The conception of the world as a stage makes a production of life—a show of the years in which the elements of ro m-ds. tragedy and romance necessarily enter, Without a stage and proper setting for this production, the theme may be hard to follow. At Southeastern State College, the scenery is so in line with the intent of promoting study and in terest in accumulating practical knowledge, that it blends into the creation of an atmosphere. Unfolding before you now is the scenario for a four year production, staged by every student who enters Southeastern. Behind the scenes on the “campus of a thousand magnolias’' lie the traditions and the lore of the stage, the underlying prin- ciples for which the school, in playing its theatrical role in life, stands. Amateur or veteran, a member of the massive cast of South- eastern cannot long remain on this campus without feeling the spirit of the drama; the natural impulse to play his role well, be it large or small; and the spark of finding his opportunity to star- dom in this friendly theater.
