The skit entitled “A Little Humor From Humanities” or “The Great Eight.” Eight dif^ ferent skits were presented, each a true delight. One of the more talked about was entitled “Soap Opera.” It featured Nan Stovall, who did a great job as a calm and not easily excited mo ther. Denise Clark and Jerry De- Vos portrayed her children. Don ald Franklin portrayed thhe^ con fused and bewildered father. Jan Johnson and Clive Wilson did an excellent job afe two policemen, who strangely enough, had the same minds.

Rebecca por trayed a lighthouse excellently. Phyl lis Hicks and Donald Franklin pre sented a modem dance which was very intriguing. There were many other performances that were just as good as the above mentioned and everyone who participated should be commended. Even though the humanities class presented the skits, they couldn’t have done it without the help of their advisors. Miss Bettie Adams and Mr. Clive Wilson, who made it possible for the students to see this wonderful presentation.
