Two Crooks and a Lady “Dance Macabre” by Saint Saens was the music played be fore the production of “Two Crooks and a Lady.” This was a play in which a paralyzed old lady had nothing but her brains to defend herself against two strong crooks. It was interest ing to see how she played one off against the other and how she gave each a chance to prove whether or not he or she was worthy of being protected from the law. One feature of the play was the use of interchangeable casts in order to give more students experience, in dramatics. Those taking part were: Miller, the Hawk, the robber, Paul Caden head and Madison New; Lucille, his accomplice, Opal Beck and Sarah Hinesley Mrs. Simms Vane, a paralyzed old lady, Eve lyn Kidd and Bobbie Cobb; Miss Jones, her companion, Mary Ruth Panter and Sadie Scott; Policeman, Harry Nix; Police In spector, Archie Callman.

Folger Speaks At Chapel Exercise “Education and Responsibility for the Common Good” was Dr. D. F. Folger’s subject when he was speaker for the regular chapel assembly on November 9th. Dr. Folger pointed out the fact that many people are willing to jeopardize the welfare of others for personal gain. As examples of endangering the welfare of others and for personal gain he named impure foods, poisonous cosmetics and patent medicines. Many group organizations, such as some labor organizations and lobbyists, disregard the bad ef fects they have on the general welfare of the nation in pursu ing their selfish interests. He explained that because these people are products of the present educational system, be cause school systems sometimes stimulate personal gain at the expense of others, this shows that some great revisions are needed in present day education programs. Dr. Folger said, “I believe that it is more important to get peo ple to accept responsibility for the common good than anything else, because we are so interpen dent that no one can be happy without the common welfare of others. Seek the welfare of the group, and happiness will come automatically to the individual.” selected from the various groups: Mr. Adam’s Group Louise Broadrick Miss Down’s Group Frances Taff Miss Campbell’s Group Carolyn Chism Dr. Double’s Group Joyce Henderson Miss Jenkins’ Group.
