Headache Ball
Made Worse
By Staff Loss
Regular members of the mili
tary department instruction staff
are singing "After the Ball Is
Over" with mixed feelings. They're
not sure whether they will be
happy or sad after Friday and
their annual headache, the Mili
tary Ball.
All of the regular officers and
enlisted men have been busy all
week in preparation for the ball,
and they will be even more busy
from now until Friday. They say
they'll be happy when the work is
over.
But they lose their smile when
you mention Mrs. Lola Henline, a
fixture in the military department
office for the last four years, and
twelve years previous to that Late
in December she is leaving for
San Diego, Calif., where she is to
reside.
Military department heads refer
to her for facts about the ROTC
unit "way back when." They say
she is more reliable than files.

In Outstanding Play
Lincoln, the Clerk, Is Plot
For 'Prologue to Glory'
. To De Given by Uni Players
Of the numerous plays which
have been written about Abraham
Lincoln's life, only a very few
were concerned with the presid
ent's early manhood, and one of
the most outstanding of this latter
group is "Prologue to Glory"
which will be presented by the
University Theatre Dec. 10-12.
Originally produced at Iowa
University, the play, written by
Ellsworth Conkle, is one of the
two outstanding successes brought
to the people's theatre by the
WPA federal theatre in its series
of historical plays produced in
1938.
While most of the Lincoln plays
deal with the more tempestuous
political crises of his life, "Pro
logue to Glory" is concerned with
only one year of his life, when the
president-to-be was between the
ages of 21 and 22.
The play opens as young Abe,
working on his father's farm, is
offered a job in a store in the vil
lage of New Salem, and thru the
influence of his step-mother, he
accepts. Shortly after his arrival
he establishes his reputation as
a man of strength by soundly
threshing the town bully. In the
meantime, he is pursuing his
policy of reading every book he
can Jay his hands on.
A turning point in his life comes
when Abe meets Ann Rutledge,
who influences him to debate in
the New Salem Forum club.
Shortly thereafter, Abe, who has
fallen in love with Ann, announces
himself as a candidate for the Il
linois legislature and leaves on an
electioneering tour of Sagamon
county.
His tour is interrupted by the
illness of Ann, and returning to
New Salem, Lincoln finds her on
her deathbed. Ann's death brings
desolation to young Abe. The play
closes as Abe leaves the village
to take up law in Springfield.
Burns Mantel, in writing of
"Prologue to Glory" in "Best Plays
of 1937-38," says, '"Prologue to
Glory reveals, with a consistency
that is amazingly simple, the
young Lincoln, the lad of 22 who
had left his father's farm and
taken his first job, a clerkship in f
a country store in New Salem, 111,
"Here he drifted a little aim
lessly, while those conquering
urges for learning and public ser
vice were being born within him.
His first romance found him here
and from its tragedy he extracted
a courage and a determination
that were character-shaping in
force, and a definite influence
in setting him on the road that led
him both to glory and to death."
Brockport (N. Y.) State Normal
school is entering its 75th year.
