Page Eight High LiPb Fehruarg 11, 19SS Something For You ‘t ■s%' si-1 I i: Between acts of the Playmasters’ presentation “Men Are Like Street cars,” Ann Dumaresq, a member of the Playmasters, presented Mr. Routh a check for $300 to help pay for the new curtains. The money came from the proceeds of the play. Playmasters* Production Makes Gain Of $300 After packing away costumes and props from the perform ance of “Men Are Like Streetcars,” which was presented February 1 and 2, the Playmasters found that a net profit of $300 had been made. This money will go for the fi nancing of the three One-Act Plays which are to be presented in April and to meet other expenses. “We are very pleased to find that $300 is our profit, since that is the amount we presented to Mr. Routh for the stage curtains,” re ports Miss Mozelle Causey, dra matics coach. The demand for student tickets was so great that the 1500 tickets v'hich were first printed had to be increased. Much of the success of the pro duction was due to the , sincere, tii’eless effort that the members of Playmasters put into the prac tices. Ann Dumaresq, club presi dent, reported that the member^ of the cast spent the free after noons following exams to practice the play. While other students were enjoying the carefree days when snow prevented attending school, the cast was learning lines and the stage crew was working busily on the props and sound effects for the play. Other behind-the-scenes students were making posters^ de signing programs, and contacting various businesses who loaned furniture and other needed items The Playmasiers feel that they have been sufficiently ajvarded for all the effort that was put into the performance.

I’m sure I wrote that cap tion!” wailed assistant editor Holly Deifell as she pawed frantically in an overflowing wastebasket. Bur ied somewhere under the ten-foot mound of paper by the window was the editor’s desk,, and more than likely the editor also—looking for the missing caption. “Please be a little Quieter!” pleaded Miss Virginia Powell, ad viser, over the confusion of clat tering typewriters-and chattering tongues. The confusion was orga nized, however, thanks to Mis.s Powell, who, every staff member will agree, did a “bang-up” job, writing, editing, and supervising. The WHIRLIGIG room was in the usual state of turmoil that always proceeds the deadline. At the mention of the fatal day— February 1—feelings of anticipa tion and dread swept over the heart of many a staff member. It was“for this day that he had hunched long hours over a type writer, sold dozens of ads, taken scores of pictures, and performed a thousand tasks from mounting pictures to making layouts. When at last the time came when busi ness manager Sally Durham could announce proudly, “We’ve made our budget,” and editor Susan Graham could happily say, “The WHIRLIGIG is ready to go to press!” the staff waved a relieved farewell to Mr. Frank Fleming of Lassiter Press and the “dum my” with the fervent hope that this year’s book will be the best ever! - Mll£S AHEAD ■for work-and pla^ Harley-Davidsen 165 Ride this easy-to-handle two- wheeler to work, school and play.
