South Pacific Island Theme Exam
Using as its theme, “What About Tomorrow?” the Euthalian
Literary Society presented to Nonpareil Literary Society its 70th
annual Anniversary Program on Thursday, December 1, in the
college auditorium.
The theme was built around uncertainty. The play, written
and directed by Roy Mehaffey, Euthalian Anniversary vice-presi
dent, included in its cast Allan Clarke as the First Man, Bert
Bounous
as Dr. Alfred Farns
worth, Joe David Fore as The
Man, Willard Griggs as Wound
ed Man, Rhea Fletcher as First
Flelpful Man, and Ron Gaylor
as Wallingham.
Prior to the play. President
Bill Baber presented the Eu
thalian gift to Miss Emily Soder-
gren. Nonpareil president. It
was a cut-glass punch bowl with
dipper and twelve matching
cups.
In the play itself, an introduc
tion, written by David Biggers
was read by Art Collier, and a
quartet composed of Ron Luck,
Ralph Halliwill, Dixon Free,
and Dave Williams sang a ballad
composed by Ralph Halliwill,
“What About Tomorrow.” Then
the cast presented the play, set
in a London bombshelter dur
ing World War II. Six men seek
refuge from a German air-raid
in the bombshelter built in the
basement of an abandoned
building. During the raid, the
building collapses and the men
find themselves trapped in a
temporary shelter with insuffi
cient supplies.
Following the death of one
man, the remaining five seek to
dig their way out, only to find
an unexploded German bomb
blocking their way. Unable to
disarm the weapon, the men
merely wait until help can come.
Suddenly, the men hear pick-
axes digging in, only to realize
that in the confusion one man
has struck the bomb, setting off
the tick of the timing melan
ism that may spell eventual
death. It is at this point that
the theme, “What About To
morrow” is realized, as the cur
tain closes on the horrified
scream of one of the men, leav
ing to uncertainty the fate of
the characters.
The evening’s activities were
under the direction of the Eu
thalian officers: Bill Baber, pres
ident, Roy Mehaffey, Anniver
sary vice-president; Rhea Fletch
er, Literary vice-president; Wil
lard Griggs, Secretary; Bart
Bounous, censor, and Ed Mor
ton, chaplain.
