L Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS ee Wednesday, April 8, 1959 Faculty Show Features Solitary Chess Game Elates Student Student Body Despite Exorbitant Cost Undeterred by the $20 per tic- ket cost, students gladly returned several days early from vacation to applaud Pedagogues on Parade, or, The Plot That Failed, the 1959 Faculty Show which was present- ed in a great splash of flowers and pink champagne on April 3 and 4. Part.of the credit for the un- questionable charm of the show must certainly go to the director, Mr. Smedley, as well as to the lively music by Miss Kenney and Mr. Goodale, with lyrics by Mr. Lattimore. The script—the work of Mr. Wallace, Mr. Herben, and Mrs. MacCaffrey—focussed on the ad- ventures of a mysterious spy ring whose mastermind (chillingly por- trayed by Dr. Michels) disguises its members as strolling players A scene from a skit dramatizing the “INFERNO,” one of the longer numbers in the show. .Setting is the fourth circle. Virgil is the one with the baggy sweater and long tongue. His companion is apparently thet Angel Gabriel, who looks, as he is, out of place. This photo is sadly unidentified, since all NEWS staff members are deep in penury, due to fines resulting from the last April Fool’s Issue, and were therefore unable to attend the show. Some, we hope, will find it familiar. M. Cary Confidently Solves Problems Q. Dear M. Cary, No matter what I do I can’t man- age to keep up.

The major part of the play is devoted to acts put on by the “players”, including: A solo number in which Miss Lang entertained the audience with a three-hour game of chess.

To Arms The time is come. The time, in fact is past. But let us not despair.. All may yet be saved, if we shoulder the axle, put our ear to the ground, our probosis to the grindstone and our heart in the right place. Now is neither the moment nor here the place for indifference; events are stirring, and all men’s souls are or should be aquiver. The issue before us is immediate, crucial, life-or-death, and consequently demanding. Our very way. of life is at stake; our liberty, our ideals, yea, even our sense of the right hangs in the balance. Everything which we daily press to our bosoms may be snatched therefrom. Shall we now be craven, shall we cringe and crumble before more necessity ? No. Nyet. Non. Nein. Ie. But rhetoric solely will not suffice. Alctions alone will rise to this unprecedented chal- lenge; bold, sober, daring, considered, imaginative action. New dreams, new vistas, new visions. What matters one in such extremity? One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so? Nonsense. One letter, one telegram, one loud voice crying in the wilderness can turn the tide, crest the wave, tip the scale. To be uppermost demands our utmost, each of our utmosts, a crowd, a conflu- ence, a grand alliance of utmosts. Let us set forth abreast upon the highroad, marshalling our courage and battering the heavens. with that immortal hymn which has so long inspired and informed our gracious land: Columbia, the gem of the ocean of grain, It’s a grand old flag, oh say can you see? Mine eyes have seen the glory. Hail Columbia! God bless America, my country ’tis of thee.
