"Lost Horizons," the story of
what the future would have
brought Janet Evans, is shown to
her through the Hall of Records.
It shows her the man she would
have met and loved, how she
could have aided him to find a
cure for paralysis and helped him
to win the Nobel prize, how many
other lives she could have influ
enced, how many persons she
could have saved from death, sui
cide, and the gallows.
Introduced on Broadway.
Introduced on Broadway in
1925, this dynamic drama by John
Hayden starred Jane Wyatt and
should not be confused with the
motion picture "Lost Horizon" by
James Hilton which she is playing
in with Ronald Colman.

composed of H. Alice Howell, di
rector; Herbert Yenne, associate
director; Charles Rogers, settings;
Don Buell, associate technical di
rector; Pauline Ollatly, children's
theater; Armand L. Hunter, busi
ness manager.
Since the action of the play
moves to eleven localities, the set
tings designer, Charles Rogers,
has had a great opportunity to put
his class on scene designing to
work. The Hall of Records is the
work of Minnie Brandt and Helen
Rice; Elsie Marshall's Room,
Richard Rider; Hotel Room, Paul
Bogen and Lucile Joam; Banker's
Home, Donald Giffcn; Dr. Potter's
Laboratory, Maurice Reynolds and

the keynote of this year's Prom. mid Nebraska students are
planning in one way or another to live up to promises of 1 lie
Prom eommiltee. Ifumor has it that the committee is choosing
from three of the nation's top sw ing bands, and the one selected
will play plenta' sweet and hot. And since whispers run in
threes, we've heard that a trio of gals have been thinking of
filing for prom girl. From the Alpha Chi house, 1he sistern will
surely run Virginia Smith or June "Waggcnor, and Phi Mil's
pres, Jeanne Palmer, seems a bit logical. Kappa Delta will fall
back on the old standbv Jean"
Tucker, and Delta (!amma
might be thinking of Jean
Doty, Ihought two elections in
otie year are a bit too much for
any house. It looks like an
other round of campaigning,
however, and the sisters are
taking it quite seriously for
spring and all that sort of
thing.

Lilliputian Docketbooks are in
vogue this spring, as in the past.
In some respect it s deplorable,
but Nebraska coeds find that it's
really not half as unfortunate as
it might be. They are becoming
wise to the fact that they can send
their last spring's clothes to
Evans Cleaners and get along
without enormous sums for new
outfits. Call B6961.

"What happened to the winged

Well, son, I discarded them for
more timely designs, pertinent to
1937 life. I use the two seated
airplane instead of bicycle built
for two figure, modern swing
clothes instead of the outmoded
ruffled crinolines. But my newest
1937 novelty is the fan shaped

St. Valentine paused and chewed
on his pipe stem while the smoke
lazily curled toward the top of
his work shop, and then mused:

thing I've never changed about my
Valentines. What is it? It's the
