~ta1t9u~iK9 By AI Tmman Last Thursday afternoon, as I wa:> walking home from the football game, a most enthusiastic thought occurred to me. I remembered that this was the night for the 6 o'clock Campus Player meeting. An adventurous glance at my watch related an astonishing phenome~ non. I had but fifteen minutes to prepar>J for the meeting, and this was the night the club picture was-to be taken. (Don't ask me how a watch told me all of this; any fifty-two year 'old watch could tell you that much.) My parents refused to allow me to go gallivanting around the campus without eating my meal, so I grabbed a leg of ham as I passed the table and meander– ed across the campus to the meeting·, arriving five minutes late, but not too late to g·et my mug in the picture. Most of you know that the Campus Players give deserving Dramatic Club members a letter at the end of each school year. Well, at this meeting, we decided to give letters again this year, and a new point system was drawn up. It will require three-hundred points to be eligible for a letter, and here's how you earn these points. ~e roles in three-act plays have been ~ut mto ~hree different groups-a rna- i JOl', a mmor, and a walk-on role. An person ·~aving a I_Uajor role will get fiL te~n pomts, a mmor role is worth ten po~nts, and a walk-on role earns seven pomts. Along with the points for the •l•ol.e Y?U might have, you can earn fd(tr pomts for each rehearsal vou t'-t· ·d' .. , -. . a en . In the one-act plays the roles have also been cut into three different gl:o~t~s, the ~arne as three act plays.

My parents moved to Arkansas, and since I knew no better, I came along. They put me in school to get an educa:tion, so I went to school-but the other pupils got the education. With earnest zeal and determina– tion, I am going to strive to replace the column ''FaceR and Footlights" written last year by Don "Build Them Up, Play Them Up" Garner. I have liUle hope of presenting as good, or as enlightening;' column as his was, but at this time I would like to let you know that I accept no bribes, but I will write anything for fifty cents. The Campus Players organization tries to present good productions each year. I'm willing to say that last year was a very successful one for this drama organization. For proof of what I have written, I'll give you a brief re– view of what was presented. The season was ·started off with the comedy, "You Can't Take I~t With You," directed by Miss Snure. I think the play "back-fired" on it's name be– cause every one took it with them, for they still remember the play. Miss Holton followed with "Ladies in Retirement" which proved that the old saying, 'money is the root of all evil', is still true. Mrs. Powell, (Jewel, to you), and Miss Snure joined hands in directing the next hit on our list, 'giving us the beautiful musical treat, "Hearts and Blossoms." It was ~the life story of ·some old woman who hated an old man be– cause in the days of his youth he had misplaced a recipe for cookies that she wanted. Mr. Skillman directed the cream of the· crop, one of Shakespear's tragedies; "Othello," for the next presentation. The acting was excellent and the back– stage work was superb. "Othello" was written about a beautiful girl who came to a shocking end when she discovered that she could trust anyone except her husband. The season was closed with "Blyth ~--------~----~-'- 1 Last Performance Enchanted Cottage Tonight At 8:15 The lim\1 performance of "The Enchanted Cot Iage", first lyceum o£ lhc .YC<ll', will be given in the Harding auditorium lonighl al 8:15.
