STUDENTS SAY —
Of course you still remember the
excellent play BPARKIN that Mist
Eliason’s drama class presented to
the student body last week? Well,
here’s what two students of the drama
class who did not take part in the
play have to say about it.
SARAH HARPER:
SPARKIN’, a mountain comedy
with a granny who sits in a corner
and “chaws ter baccy” and spews out
advice, was presented in chapel last
Friday. Granny generally caused the
complications and in the end straight
ened them out.
A hired hand who was bashful, a
mother who was the balancing factor,
and the beautiful granddaughter
were all present. The love interest
was provided by the hired hand and
grand-daughter, who were both ex
periencing their first love affair.
The sotting was in the mountains,
and the stage scenery was very good.
Made one feel that the house was one
of a poor mountain family.
Granny cracked her voice a little
too much, but otherwise she and the
other characters were very good.
SPARKIN’ was well directed.
LONNIE BELL:
Granny strikes a spark with her
dry humor and slumps back into her
rocking chair. She was always ready
with her part in the conversation,
but for her voice it might have been
too “jittery.” Granny was easily dis
turbed over situations; however, the
tobacco juice on l|er dress didn’t
arouse her emotion very much.
The hero was a typical bashful
mountaineer, although there were
some minor defects about his speech.
A bashful mountain boy would be, I
think, somewhat slower in his con
versation.
Pauses between the speakers seem
ed a little timed. Five seconds would
have measured the average time be
tween each conversation.
Lecturer Tell* About
Argentina Last Night
Miss Isabelle Eastman Fisk, well
known traveler and lecturer gave a
talk on “Argentina” last night in the
auditorium at 8:30.
Her lecture was illustrated by na
tural color slides and motion pictures
made during her travels.
In 1940 Miss Fisk traveled in South
America studying local conditions
and inter-American relations.
During the last two years Miss Fisk
has spoken to many groups including
students of the University of Cin
cinnati, the Travel Class of Elgin, 111.,
and Dayton Women’s Club, Dayton,
Ohio.

The need of glasses is very
often the cause of nervousness.,
headaches and poor work.
If you can’t produce the work
as you should, you should have
your eyes examined immediately.
Correct glasses can make you
