Imagine the Great Whiteside, if you can: a vitriolic, egotistic, and sarcastic old reprobate, sear ing everyone ■who came within the range of his invective. Imag ine the situations which can arise when a famed visitor invades your house for a month, and then what can happen when he is visited toy an English playwright, a “cockroach” professor, and a mad, completely mad, Hollywood press agent. This is just a sampling of what took place in Erie Hall on the evenings of iMay 4,5, and 6, as “The Man Who Came To Dinner” totally and effectively amused the audience. The total attend ance for the three nights was over 150, and these I'so people were treated to a rollicking and enjoy able evening toy the antics of the cast- , The entire cast had spent many evenings of rehearsal for the play, and they all performed magnifi cently, according to the reaction BOSTON STORE Erie, Pennsylvania Infants’ - Children’s - Ladies' Ready-To-Wear FASHION SHOPPE 2924 Buffalo Rd. Wesleyville, Pa. from the audience. In addition to a fine cast headed toy Jack Rimp, Diane Fagan, Howard Tinsman, Ron Thomas and Kurt Gasse, the play was fortunate in having an industrious technical crew with out whom the play could not have been produced. Among the tech nical staff doing a workmanlike job were Norma Micheal, Jack Churchill, Jim Culbertson and Sam Wallwork. In addition to the technical staff there was a fine makeup crew headed toy Dot 'Maxwell and an excellent handling of the play toy Charlotte Flack and her as sistants. However, these people were all supported and aided by countless other people who de serve mention, tout space limita tions prohibit doing so. After the play the cast and technical crew had a party in the student lounge, at which time Jack Rimp presented, on behalf of the cast and the crew, a beau tiful cigarette case and lighter to Mr. Land, who produced and di rected “The Man Who Came to Dinner.” , Play 'highlights: The audience and cast were amazed at the memory and acting ability of Jack Rimp, who performed a Herculean task in his portrayal of Whiteside . . . The audience al so fell out of their seats when Kurt Gasse did his imitation of Lord Bottomley, and when Ron “Banjo” Thomas turned in a truly great performance as a mad cap, Hollywood’ press agent. In addition Bob Yeager’s one line, of “Yes, sir” probably .got more laughs than any other two words spoken in the play.-,. .. The cast was truly grateful to the technical crew who assisted very greatly-in its production . . . This play signifies the end of one dramatic era and. -the hopes that another will begin, next .year..- - THE NITTANY CUB Summer Class Schedule Drawn Mr. Irvin Kochel, administra tive head of Behrend Center, has announced that any student who wishes to enroll for the summer session at the Center must regis ter through the Behrend office.

The dense fig rolled ominously •down Station Road into the val ley by the entrance to OBehrend Center’s stately campus, as the clock struck midnight in deep hollow tones. Under .the greenish lights lay a lump. What was this lump? It was a body— a dead body—lying on its front end, facing downward, with a knife sticking upward out of its back bone. The silence was cut by a shrill scream (for that night the | werewolves fowled.) As the echoes died away, a 'Nash, eggbeater came roaring down the speedy highway, at 5 % miles -per hour.. As the occupants, conscientious citizens, 'Smokey and Jody, zoomed by the gate, they caught a glimpse of the lump and said, “Oh, looky there! A dead corpus, lying on its front end, facing downward, with a knife sticking up out of its back bone! Shure it was. Let us dash off and notify the militia of this strange occurance.” They raced slowly to Vince’s Sweet Shoppe where they found the honorable law enforcers placing little wagers with Courageous Kelly, girl book ie, who travelled incognito as ed itor of a local campus news rag. The honorable militia zoomed forthwith, posthaste to the afore mentioned halls of learning. Upon reaching the scene of ill-repute, the lump had disappeared and the dismayed officers said, “Where is the dead corpus that was lying on its frontend, facing downward, 50 million times a day at home, at work or on the way There’s nothing % like a 1.
