The Dramatic Fanatic
By Lola Dawson
Mine’s a humorous story of
how I used to be light
hearted,
But now, from that condition
I have definitely departed.
It all happened when I, chuck
ling, left speech class one
day.
And Miss Reigner sneaked up
and whispered, “Would you
like to be in a play?”
Taken quite unaware and not
wishing to offend,
I choked and said, “Am I the
type you’d recommend?”
“Well, no,” she said, and she
summed up all her tact, ■
“Your diction’s bad and Rocky
Mounty, that’s a well-known
fact.
But I think if you worked, say
t w e n t y-three hours ever}’
day.
People might begin to under
stand those swallowed words
you say.”
So I was game, for I hate to
be defeated.
I tried to learn phonetics after
they were repeated,
I said “Howl, O Wind” until
I thought I would choke,
I didn’t care if the wind did
howl, or if perfect speech I
spoke.
My next introduction was to
that thing called a stage.
You know, the thing people
get on when they refuse to
act their age.
I remembered that want was
want and that man was al
ways man.
And you never say can, but
always can.
I learned that to be heard you
must always holler
To the ones in the back row
who also paid a dollar.

I learned a set is made from
flats and your entrance lines
are cues.
Honey, miss one of those, and
you’re in for the blues.
To take down a set you don’t
rip the nails out, that’s cer
tain.
I did—and tore a hole right in
the curtain.
I learned that rehearsals are
things never to be skipped.
Cause if they are, results are
worse than being shipped.
I learned that the day of per
formance is when your mind
goes blank.
And you feel like you’ve been
hit by a nice, soothing tank.
You can’t disappear, so you’re
there when the curtain rises
high;
You wander on the stage
mumbling, “This is all just a
lie”.
You look at your fellow actors
as your lines you say.
Then you think—“How in the
heck did I get in this any
way?”
Yes, that’s my sad story over
which I shed a tear.
It’s bad to one day be gay, and
then to have it disappear—
Run desperately from those
who might seem to be fan
atics.
From the thing which took my
gaiety, the field known as
Dramatics.

Union Building is one of the favor
ite on-the-campus haunts of students
at the University of Washington.
That’s because the Union Building
is a friendly place, always full of
the busy atmosphere of college
life. There is always plenty of ice-
cold Coca-Cola, too. For here, as in
university gathering spots every
where—Coke belongs.
Ask for it either way ... both
trade-marks mean the same thing.

being devoted to composing two
of his exams. No further comment
from the reporters of this survey.
Mr. Curlee developed his crafts
manship during his time at home.
His two Christmas projects were
a drop-leaf table for Mrs. Curlee
and a footstool for Mrs. Gramley.
These undertakings reminded him
of the first table he ever created;
created, that is, at the expense of
Mrs. Curlee’s kitchen utensils and
whatever other objects the Curlee
tool chest could produce. And in
cidentally, Mr. Curlee has a green
thumb. He even knows how to
root gardenias.
The gad-abouts of the faculty
were three in number—Dr. Welch,
Miss De Bardelaben and Miss Dig
gers. Miss De Bardelaben gave us
a most respectable account of their
trip to New York. But what are
these rumors we’ve heard about
the Diamond Horseshoe ? And
what about them slipping away
from one another ? It was Miss
De Bardelaben’s first experience in
New York; so most of her time
was taken up with tours. She en
joyed her tours of Rockefeller
Center and the N. B. C. Studios,
where she saw Tallulah Bankhead’s
show broadcast. She was parti
cularly impressed by the subway
and color television. Of the num
erous plays the three saw, they
enjoyed most “South Pacific”,
“IGng Lear”, “Member of the
Wedding,” “Bell, Book, and Can
dle”, “The Cocktail Party”, “Out
of This World”, “Peter Pan”,
“Ring Around the Moon” and “The
Lady’s Not for Burning”. For the
benefit of the music department at
Salem, they did not neglect the
Metropolitan, but attended “The
Barber of Seville”.
This is all very interesting, but
we’d still like to know more about
those escapades.

-he suftden rash of quick-trick cigarette tests
may have caused panda-monium on the campus — but our scholarly
friend was unperturbed. He pondered the facts of the case and decided that
one-puff or one-sniff tests . , . single inhale and exhale comparisons are hardly
conclusive. Proof of cigarette mildness doesn’t come that fast!
And that’s exactly why we suggest . . .
The sensible test — the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test
which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady
smoke — on a pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap
judgments needed. After you’ve enjoyed Camels —
and only Camels — for 30 days in your “T-Zone”
(T for Throat, T for Taste), we believe you’ll know why . . .
