The 1944 Laurel Has
Gone To Press
The last bit of manuscript
has been pushed into an en
velope and the last pictures
have been numbered and
mailed. The 1944 Laurel has
gone to press!
It was with a sigh of re
lief that the work was com
pleted and a feeling of ex
citement that the future was
anticipated—the day when
each one receives a copy and
everything else is placed sec
ondary to the signing of
Laurels. It is hoped that the
day of their arrival will be
by May 8; however, due to
scarcity of workers and other
war-time handicaps, it is
necessary to wait and hope
for the best.

MATTHEW
ONI HAVWOOO street
Dear Moron:
I just sat down with pen
in hand to write you a letter
in pencil (excuse typewriter).
I don’t live where I lived
before I moved to where I
live now. When you come to
see me, you can ask anyone
where I live for no one
knows.
Heard you were coming
back later. Why don’t, you
come now? I wish we were
closer apart.
We are having more weath
er this year than we had last
year.
My aunt Nellie died and is
doing fine; I wish you were
the same.
I started to Memphis to see
you when I saw a sign that
said “This takes you to Mem
phis.” I got on the sign and
sat there for three hours and
the thing didn’t move an inch.
I am sending you a coat by
express. I cut off the V-but-
tons to make it lighter to
ship. If you want them, they
are in the pockets.
If you don’t get this letter,
let me know and I will mail
it to you.
Our neighbor’s baby swal
lowed some pins, but they fed
him a pin cushion, and every
thing is all right now.
I would have sent you the
money I owe you but didn’t
think of it until I sealed the
envelope. Sincerely,
Me.
P.S.: Enclosed you will
find a picture but for fear of
losing it I took it out.

Presentation Date
And Cast Are
Selected
♦
Miss Bonnie Wengert, di
rector of the Department of
Speech of Mars Hill College,
has written an original play
entitled “The Triple Awak
ening.” The three-act comedy
will be presented as an ex
perimental production April
22 in the college auditorium.
The incident of the urn
around which the story
evolves was told as a fact to
Miss Wengert by a friend
many years ago. She first
planned to write it as a one-
act play about eight years
ago. She then gave the idea
to two students who did not
develop it successfully.
When she submitted the
plot to Mr. McLeod in his
creative writing class. Miss
Wengert questioned using it
in a one-act play; at Mr. Mc
Leod’s suggestion, it was de
veloped into three acts. The
play has never been offered
for competition and is in its
experimental stage.
The setting of “The Triple
Awakening” is the Weston
home in a small southern
city; the time is the present;
and the characters in the
order of their appearance are
Mrs. T. F. Weston, II (Fay)
played by Jean Webster;
Mary Stewart, the maid —
Kay Garland; Linda
Haynes, Fay’s college friend
—Jane Lee; Mrs Allbright,
Fay’s mother—Yvonne Law-
ing; T. F. Weston, II—Ha
rold Shoemaker; T. F. Wes
ton, HI (Teddy), undecided.
Notice
If not, there will be two intra
mural teams to play each
other as they did in football.
There are good prospects,
and we shall have some ex
citing events in baseball this
spring.
If your bath turns you red
It’s too hot—
If it turns you blue
It’s too cold—
If it turns you white —
You certainly need it.
—The Blue and Gray.
