G. and H. L. W ell, 1 had heard a lot about the j Junior Vodvil so thought that J might go u] and look it over, win tering the stately portals of our most austere and ancient Villard ball, it was somewhat of a shock to hear some very snappy strains of joyous jazz emulating from the assembly hall. 1 remembered that four years ago, or maybe it was three, that two students and one professor were removed from the institution for playing Beethoven in the same assembly. I had a few qualms and wondered what the dis astrous result of this careless type of entertainment might be. J was especially worried about Stevie Smith. So, when I got there I saw a great flash of extraordinarily thin legs and knobby knees. That didn *\ make much difference because the practice costumes were scanty enough to make one forget the de tails. And there was Maxine Glover, our own rehearsal pianist, hammering away at one of Boone Hendricks’ melodies as though it were a matter of life and death. She really should have been danc ing. Just then Virginia Moore would have to shout out above the crowd, and all operations immedi ately ceased. It was just as though Me Bride had called ‘Tut’’ for the campus tnu\ ie scene. After they had that out of their system, the rehearsal took on a new life, .first l saw Anne Ntange, the Delta Gamma “Joan Crawford,” in the second row, and strangely enough, Bill Gillette was right be hind her. o Then right along side of Gillette were a couple of very stiff kneed chorus men by the name of Hunt and Dunham, having a grand time. And who should be in the middle of the line but the Delt flash and silver throated oriole bird, Mauriee Kinneyf He was swell. That just about did up the row of men, ex eept for Grosby Owens, who really seemed to have only one reason for being there, and that wasn’t darn ing. Then 1 should immediately take notice of the girls again. I just couldn’t seem to keep my eyes off of the pony chorus. They trotted so gracefully. And who should we see but Avis Hartsmun, right down r.in the front row. ft he is a Chi Omega. , Just about the time that I was really starting to enjoy Betty t-Sliip lev’s and Helen Katenbrink’s cos tumes, that fellow Hendricks came along and told me that this was HIS show, and that I might leave now anytime. Jo Kalston bellowed out a husky goodbye as .1 blushed my way out of the doors. FOOTBALL DRAWS FROSH Nine lettermen Working at Spring Practice; Show Up Well The freshman class is well repre sented in spring football practice with nine fresh numeral men show ing up as promising material for next year’s varsity team. The fresh men who are working under Coach MeKwan and Merrill Hagan, line coach, are: Irvin Scluiltze, taekle: Al Browne, half; Jack lirdlev, end; Gene Tnrbell, end; William Hayden, guard; Erie Forsta, center; Neal Carter, center; and John Londnhl, half. These men are being groomed for next season and it is certain that some of them will see action on the varsity next year. Jack lirdloy and Gene Tarboll are showing up.iiij great style at end, while Forsta at | center is a real find. Sehultze and j West, two husky tackles, are the] best bets for that position. Both need but a little experience to qual ify them for regulars. HIGH SCHOOL BILLS PLAY .\ three act comedy, “The Col onel’s Maid,” by (’.

They are: “In Any Lan guage” by Robert Hunt, “fast the I’op-eoin Wagon” by Alice Krieknel, and "Fern” by Wilfred Brown). "Then ask not wherefore, here, alone, Conversing as I may, 1 sit upon this old grey stone And dream my time away.” With those words we are trans ported to the sleepy streets of a middle western town, where bees are humming, birds are resting, and the world is asleep. We move slow ly from event to event, as though we, too, were living in the dull heat of the dusty August. Lovable old Balt MeCready, the dreamer, is by our side. He is a character of which Booth Tarkington jvould have been proud. With him we dream of the day when Littleton, Illinois, will no longer be a slumbering little town, and with him we share his slow, lazy, optimistic dreams. We all know his nagging wife, his jobless son-in-law, the mean old banker, his sceptical cronies. They are old friends whom we greet with open arms. His scheme is our scheme, his triumph is our triumph. We rejoice with him at the discomfiture of his old enemy, the skinflint banker. In fact Carvel Nelson’s story, “Then ask not wherefore, here, alone,” is real and close to us. We like it. 1 wonder why people persist in writing short stories about swash buckling firemen and gin drinking sailors and the pathetic picture of a homely man looking for a beau tiful woman. 1 wonder why they do. Maybe it’s because they’d like to swashbuckle and drink gin and look for beautiful women them selves. Here is a trite story which everyone but myself has liked, so it must be good. Only it might ns veil have been a homeless collie with brown eyes ns a woman. Big Jerry Kilvin sat in the sit ting room of liis small house. He wiis drinking com whiskey. Being the swashbuckling fireman he was iiscil to the fifrv effects and got a wiiy with .something like three pints. Another (iungu Din. For ten years deny had looked for a lover. For ten years, oil every Sat urday night, he had gotten drunk and looked for his love. Tonight he found her when she begged him for food. We are introduced again to all our old friends, .terry, the pathetic, frail little girl, begging on the streets, the starving baby brother, and the cruel step-father. Jerry has to beat up three or four incon sequential persons, but he gets bis woman, and the kill. lluz/.a! shouted Toni Hover. Virtue tri umphs! The name of this story, by the way, is, “In Any Language,” which probably means that one will find it in any country in the world where magazines are sold for a dime. We look at life through the eyes I of a pop-corn vendor. I)ny after I day lie sits in hot wagon and , watches people go by. He also won ders where all the things lie sees in the papers happen. He doesn’t know,1 but he sees it all. It is a cross-section of life. Old Jim is a good character. We see him plain ly, and are not told a word about him. All day long he sits and thinks about beef stew, while lie cheerfully greets escaped bandits, bank rob bers, run away girls, and policemen. Of course he doesn't know. “Past tlio Pop-corn Wagon” is not n very heavy story, or a very long one, lint it is enjoyable. I wonder if the author was thinking about all the people who sit and think about beef stew while life passes them by. Maybe she was. 11’s a good story. Hail to the mighty fern! The story of a man who was linked but didn’t know it. Stories like that are always sueresses. He fights, and is beaten, and comes back to fight again. America! This is the farmers’ plea to Burbank. If lie hnd done something about ferns some time ago, this would never hnd happened. Well, here is Matthew, trying to make a success of tin1 little farm in the hollow. Kveryone warned him of the ever present fern, but he. is a true hero, and dives into the lmltie. There was also Mary, and together they are good Jean Strat ton Porter characters. They phil osophize about life, and worship trees, all the while they are trying to kill ferns so that they might make their strawberries grow. It remained for a fire to put him on his lmek, a fire that ho himself started, in order to beat the ferns. But he got up again, and was buck In the battle, the brave man. You might guess it, lml the titlu of this is “Tins Fern.” Oil well.
