THE COLLEGIATE
P»ge Five
join The Fight Against Polio
Americans place upon the life and dijfnitv
of each individual is not just a civics course plaUtude, it
i5 & jjenuine and uniQue characteristic of our societv
Those of us who have traveled abroad — as touri^t^^
or servicemen — kno\y that in many lands the siijht of the
miserable and ill, huddled in alleys and doorways, is so
common that it passes almost unnoticed. In the United
States the life or death of a single person mav become a
matter of nationa concern ... a younir pirflost in the
woods, a Kidnaped baby, a child trapped in a well.
We do not attempt to put a price on a .siiijfle life nor
the value of mending it. We know that here we are deal
ing with the priceless.
Similarly, we refuse to accept the inevitability of
disease and suffering. We band together and fight them.'
An outstanding example of this is the fight against polio i
through the March of Dimes.
In this fight millions of men and women, believing
in their individual importance and in their collective
strengl^h, have joined hands in typical American fashion.
They moved forward with unfailing determination, but-'
tressed by the knowledge that today’s research is pointing
the way to tomorrow's victory. i
For the fight against polio . . . for the task of mend
ing lives . . . give to your 1955 March of Dimes.
Review Of “Our Town”
By RICH/^D ZIGLAR
“The inner truth of human life” — yes. Thornton
Wilder “. . . touched the inner truth of human life’’ when'
he composed this heart-touching drama. This play was
the first full length play written by Mr. Wilder to appear
on professional stage. Mr. Wilder has also written two
other volumes of plays, "The Long Christmas Dinner" and
“The Angel That Troubled The Waters.” Two if his,
novels are "The Cabala” and “Heavens My Destination.”
The entire three-act play is focused around a place
called Grover’s Corners. New Hampshire, from 1901 until
1913. As one reads the play, the finest details of every
day life can be seen. The story seems so realistic that one
might think he is really there in Grover’s Corners.
Some of the main characters are Dr. and Mrs^ Gibbs,
Mr. and Mrs. Webb, George Gibbs, and Emily Webb.
These characters are not set upon a pedestal nor are they
condemned in any respect. They are just plain, ordinary
characters whom one deals with every day. The.^e char
acters are faced with the same problems which face us
during a lifetime . 1 would say that they are portraits of
what we are. The Stage Manager of the play says: “This
is the way we were in our growing-up and in our marry
ing and in our doctoring and in our living and in our dy
ing.” Yes, the portraits of the.se characters are still alive.
In my estimation we are the portrait.^.
To me this drama, which contains both sadness and
joy, is very touching. I feel very sorry for Emily Gibbs,
who wanted to live one day over again after her death.
She did. and she could see how peoplf did not appreciate
living. 1 think that this in.stance points out how unthank
ful and ungrateful one is for living day by day with his
loved ones and friends. One ju.st does not appreciate life
while living it.
It is amazing to read about ourselves. 1 would recom
mend all to read this most enjoyable play, and hope that
thev will receiveas much benefit from it as I did.
