Sad news came in great gobs
today. No sooner was Betty Hohf
notified that her mother was se
riously ill in the hospital than
Ronnie Metz's father called to tell
him. that his mother was serious
ly ill and not expected to live.
Tough especially when the two
are pinned.
You know the poetry that I've
allowed to creep (and that poetry
does creep) into this column has
been so dumb that people can't
understand it. So to brighten up
the column and to show you read
ers that all is not lost in my en
deavor to become a poet laureate
of Russian Bottoms, I offer this
little opus which, unless I'm noti
fied further, will be my poem to
end all poems.
This Does It.
An Eskimo stood on the burning
sands,
' His Igloo was too hot.
He fanned himself with a piece
of ice,
As he lay on an army cot.
A polar bear flew over his head,
Beating the snow with his wings
A lot of bees buzzed around a
rose,
Hunting for diamond rings.
His wife was in a restaurant
Eating some whalebone soup.
The barber was trimming her
whiskers,
The baby was sick on the stoop,
A walrus jumped on the counter,
And said "I am a German spy,"
So don't be surprised if I order
A piece of apple pie." '
A jazzband played "Rock of
- Ages,"
And North Pole began to wrig
gle, Toward the land of the brave
and the free.
They shot the poor fellow at
sunrise,
And that was the end of the
storm.
But the Natives still talk about
Venus,
And her wonderful, beautiful
form.
The Penny Carnival looks like
a big success this time. There'll be
a good time for everybody who
can find ten pennies to throw into
the party. Jean Bohrer, Theta,
and Carl Petty ATO are including
it in their already crowded week
end. The Alpha Phi party Friday
night will include a lot of people
that you and I have seen around.
Sally Sears and Jack Wenstrand
A TO along with Mary Mattoon
and Jerry Nuss, Kappa Sig. Then
there'll be that blond and steady
couple, Joan Witt and Paul Toren
Sig Chi.
Well, gentle readers, I've made
enongh enemies in the last week
to last me for all time. I find my
aelf in the same position as the
humorist who declared, as his legs
were being cut off. "Well, I've
stood about enough." And so with
nuts to you all and malice toward
none, I retire to a meal of crack
ers and milk to await the knife
In the back that must surely come.
Tliunder Rock' Nears Completion ...
Larry Taylor, Veteran of Two
Performances Plays Streeter
With the "Thunder Rock" pro
duction moving nearer and nearer
completion, the Daily takes an
other look into the theater to find
Larry Taylor taking his place
among the main characters in the
play.
Larry has become quite popular
on the university stage this year,
having appeared in both of the
previous productions of the sea
son. In "Out of the Frying Pan"
we saw him as George Bodell, a
young and enthusiastic actor try
ing to get on Broadway. The vigor
and enthusiasm with which he
played this part won him an out
standing role in the famous play
"Arsenic and Old Lace. In this
play Larry Taylor delighted and
horrified the audience with his
Boris Karloff-like interpretation
of the mad brother, Jonathan.
Creates Beginning Atmosphere.
The role taken by Taylor in
"Thunder Rock," which will open
Feb. 17, is that of a young avia
tor, Streeter. It is a more serious
role than he has played formerly

and an important one in that he
creates the atmosphere of the play
at the beginning. Being a close
friend to the lighthouse keeper,
played by Bill Todd, Streeter
comes to the lighthouse to per
suade his friend to go to China
with him and help fight the war.
On being questioned about his rea
sons for fighting he displays a
curious reluctance to explain his
deep-set ideals.
Two Schools of Thought.
While Charleston takes the at
titude that the world is better off
dead, Streeter illustrates the op
posite feeling that there is a bright
hope in the future which is worth
fighting for. This philosophy domi
nates the play and in the end wins
over Charleston's philosophy. The
play typifies two popular attitudes
of young men today and certainly
leaves one with osmething worth
thinking about.
