Entertainment For West Lafayette Students Speech Arts Club was busier than ever this year, presenting two principal plays, I Remember Mama and Inherit the Wind, besides a chil- dren's play and six one-act plays. The cast of I Remember Mama was led by Colleen McCarty as Katrin and Jeannine Low as Mama. The story is told by Katrin, the daughter, who is recalling her childhood and past memories: the endless budgeting, family struggles with the aunts, the love and happiness which kept the family close, and Mama who was such an inherent part of each memory and childhood episode. Inherit the Wind is the story of the famous Scopes monkey trialn in Tennessee, during 1925. A young school teacher, Bert Cates, portrayed by Steve Taylor, comes to a small, fanatically reli- gious town. His introduction to his pupils of the Darwin Theory, which appeared contrary to the Bible, resulted in the earthshaking trial and a na- tion-wide interest. The Hanson family looks won- deringly at Mr. Hyde's bogus check in a scene from I Re- member Mama .

This scene is typical of the annual occasion when West Siders join, as one, in honoring their choice for queen, her court, and their athletic team, all in one grand, ecstatic display of loyalty, admir- ation, and fellowship. West Side, however, is not just glamor, cere- monies, fun, and excitement. The students are working seriously to develop skills and attitudes which are essential to success. Starting with the freshman, W.L. students are serious with their studies. Concentrating, ask- ing questions, and planning for the future.
