Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward,
which is to be presented Novem
ber 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, is a sophis
ticated comedy dealing with the
spiritual phase of life. The play
is called an improbable farce and
is the zaniest and most hilarous
of Mr. Coward's plays.
The next play is scheduled for
December 13th, 14tn. and 15th.
"Juno and the Paycock" by Sean
OCasey is drastically different in
that it is a masterpiece of modern
urban realism. This play em
braces a mingling of humor and
tragedy, deftly handled by a mas
ter dramatist.
William Shakespeare's play,
"Twelfth Night," which takes
place on March 14th, 15th, and
16th, is a good example of his
great works of art. It is Shake
speare's most delightful and
charming romantic comedy.
The last play "Ah Wilderness"
contains both serious drama and
hilarious comedy. Eugene O'Neil
used his best talents in putting
forth the troubles of teen-age dat
ing. This show contains many a
good characterization and serious
thought but comes to an en
lightened ending.

The procession will make its way

yells will be led by Bernie Urich,
yell king, and the new cheering
squad. Following this mass dem
onstration members of the coach
ing staff and varsity squad will
