This contemporary play is simi- lar to the popular NBC television show which is a spoof of all secret agent thrillers. Linda Taylor, student director and Mary Lou Bell, stage manager, helped the cast project the humor- ous mood of the play, through the numerous sight gags and intelli- gent satire.

An acute struggle is consum- mated, and a thought is born. It may be a private thought to be carefully nurtured and cultivated in one mind. It may be a thought too big for one mind to keep, or too small to care about keeping. The thought too big to keep es- pecially tortures the thinker. It throbs, it beats, it struggles to be free, but it lacks the substance of expression. It lacks the physical counterpart of its mental concep- tion. It lacks words. A pull, a wrench, a contraction, and the words begin to take form. At first tentative, incomplete, vague, and indiscriminate, then becoming solid, explicit, a mirror of the thought. A word is chosen, discarded, altered, kept. A verb is past, present, future, and finally just right. A sentence deleted, added, or transformed makes the meaning complete. The once-mute thought has spoken. Its shadows of meaning are concrete in words. Its value, worth, and many facets are free to be interpreted, elaborated upon, and disagreed with by the reader or teacher. At this point the idea has reached its fullest adulthood. In such an idea, clothed in the words of the student and housed in the evaluation of the teacher, two minds meet.
