Pictured above is a scene from Sherwood Anderson’s “Mother,” presented
by the drama students of Clark. “Mother” is a one-act modern drama that
might have been witnessed in real life by most of the members of the
audience who saw Misses Florence Cassell and June Marie Blanchard and Mr.
Hiram Kendall in their dramatic interpretation of this realistic drama.
Mr. Kendall portrayed the father, a pompous, pretending man of about
forty years. Miss Blanchard portrayed the mother, Mary Horton, a woman
in her late thirties and an ideal mother and member of society. She also
proved a capable analyst of human character by the tact with which she
handled the dressmaker who was portrayed by Florence Cessell. The dress
maker, Mable Clark, was supposed to have become involved with the son of
the Hortons to the extent that she was soon to be a mother. Mr. Horton, not
wanting his son to marry Mable, tried to devise some means of escape. Mrs.
Horton, however, being a more sane and rational person and a fairer one,
resorts to sending for the woman and employing h6r Wiles, influences the
woman to expose the truth about herself and Harry, the son. The woman
makes no oral confession, but her reactions to the various ideas that Mrs.
Horton presents to her are enough to tell Mrs. Horton all she want to know.
The play was well presented and well received. .
With Justice to All
As always and forever here I am
on the peep again to give to each
and everyone of you such justice as
you deserve.
This Month’s Justice entails the
following exposures:
Robert Cureton seems to be play
ing both J. M. B. and L. D. What’s
the score, Bobby?
Harold G., What’s up between you
and L. Gaither. I see you sent her
a get-well card. Good luck, Chump—
darn this typewriter; the p slipped
out; I mean chum.
John James, have you made any
progress in getting out of the Bach
elor’s Club. I see you are quite thick
with Gwen.
Hey, Sadie R;, where were you go
ing the night I saw you on Hunter
Street? You wouldn’t by any chance
be two-timing “Birmingham,” would
you ?•
They say that the seasons change
four times a year. It’s just about
a New Year for Prater since his
love appears to be divided into sea
sons. He’s had four girl friends al
ready this year.
Bill Hunter, now be believe you
mean business. The best of it for
you, my friend.
Hey, Eason, with your cool self;
you’ve cute walked around here till
D. J. has learned to cute walk, too,
and has cute walked on out of your
reach.
Paul Hatchett, which way is the
wind blowing now? B. S. wants to
know.
Say, Jo, what gives with you and
Bland ? Put us wise when you decide
to act right.
All the lads and lassies had a super
time at the Sweetheart Ball. A hint
to all the fine spring hops. You’d
better latch on to an upperclassman.
Three cheers to the non-vets who
say if the vets give orchards; we
give orchards.
Well, M. F. P., liT Tom reports that
you’re really that way about A. 0.

selves of one of their most worth

Sunday, March 3, with worship at
the Allen Temple Church. On Wed
nesday, March 5, Psi Chapter had its
annual Finer Womanhood Program in

ideal guidance for the world today.
On Wednesday and Thursday after

March 7, open house was held at the
home of Soror Lewis. In order that

their pledge at a pledge service held
at the home of Soror Fountain on
Saturday, March 8. Finer Woman
hood Week was closed on Sunday,
March 9, at Morris Brown College.
The close of Finer Womanhood
Week does not mean that we have
closed the doors of finer womanhood.
Throughout each year we live finer
lives but to remind you and ourselves
we celebrate. May noble women
everywhere hold high and guard well
the standards of fine womanhood.
