“MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER”
SIGNALS END OF DRAMATIC ERA
.“Great dribbling cow!” And so
began the Behrend Players pre
sentation of “The Man Who Came
.to Danner,” as Sheridan White
side, alias Jack Rimp, bellowed
out this first of the many lines of
abuse, which were heaped on
everyone who came under his
wide circle of influence.
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

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..- -

Memories
Two years are gone; oh, where
they went?
Two years of youth, most hap
pily spent.
In learning names and new
faces
And all about foreign places.
But now the time is upon me
near
To leave (this place I hold so
dear.
But as I leave my heart will
seize
The freshness of these memor
ies:
Of lounging in the cafeteria
Of 'Mr. Shields and his bacter-
la
Of good times by the pool
With its waters fresh and cool.
Skating, tobogganing, skiing on
the hill
Praying at Wintergreen in a
chapel still
Of dances, proms, and parties
many
’My wallet empty without a
penny.
Duffy’s Tavern, the Mardi Gras
Cheers and yells, and rah, rah,
rah.
Studying history over and over
Learning music from Mr. Hover
The old traditional English call
“Thank you. That will toe all.”
Of Mr. Balmer's crazy labs
Those poor amoeba on their
slabs
And these thoughts are but just
a few
Dear old (Behrend I take from
you
To cherish in years upon me
bent
Of joyous youth most happily
spent.

... Just Nonsense...
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

with a knife sticking upwards out
of its backbone?” Receiving no
answer, the cops were frustrated'.
“We must find the corpus! We
must find the corpus! After all,
you can’t hardly get them no
more!! And so they searched —
onward into the night, and as they
searched, one could hear the en
couraging shouts of “Onward,
troop!”
•Meanwhile, back at the ranch,
the frustrated housemother, Mrs.
Shortnecker, was in a state of
panic— racing hither and thither
shouting— “Bar the windows and
lock the doors, girls. There’s been
a .murder.” You know that, every
body knows that!!! Throughout
all. the confusion, the werewolf
howled again. Only it ’ wasn’t a
werewolf— that- were only a girl
adventurer, howling with laughter
as she returned the prop knife
and clock to Mr. Lane’s office,
all the while thinking beautiful
thoughts of future misdemeanors.
