Removal of 50 Hbuse-Trailers
flayed by Arrival of Stork *
By At RYAN
“Rempyal of some 50 condemned
house-trailers from the Windcrest
area of campus has been slightly
delayed due to the birth rate in
that post-war expediency for vet
erans “and their families, Russell
E. Clark, director of housing at the
College, reports.
Slated as-the first step in a long
range plan to remove the entire
camp,, the destruction of th'e 50
“unsafe” units was scheduled for
completion by the opening of this
semester.
. 'But the stork stepped in in the
cases of some 20 families living in
the units and, with due regard for
the needs of these. families, the
original plan was altered. Now
that the stork has completed his

Francine Toll, w;ith the other members of the Dram 21 class,
were enjoying their afternoon coffee hour as I ventured into

will portray “Amanda”, one of the lead feminine roles in “Glass
Menagerie”, a Players production, which opens at Center Stage

smile and her remarkable mem
ory in naming the stage produc

Francine is a Philadelphia-bred
girl. She graduated as the valedic
torian of her class at West Phila
delphia High School in June, 1946.
Among other honors in those pre
collegiate years, she won the Dra
ma Prize and participated in dra
matic radio skits at Philadelphia
stations. 1 ,
. These aired productions were
under the direction of Vet Produc
tions Inc., and this constituted the
whole, of Fran’s professional career
up to that time. She later partici
pated in small theater groups
while studying at the Hedgerow-
Theatre in Moylan, Pa., a few
miles outside the city.
In Fran’s freshman year at Ship
pensburg State Teachers College,
she started out on her now high
flying dramatic career by captur
ing the Speech Prize. Last year,
ip her fifth-semester as a student
here on campus,- she was initiated
into Theta Alpha Phi, national
dramatics society.. Besides these
many top-rung merits' she is also
the social chairman of the 'govern
ing board of Players arid a mem
ber of Masquerettes, a Thespian
honorary society.
An attractive, brunette who
makes her residence in the Phi
Sigma Sigma suite in Hotel' Sim
mons,’she said'that even though
she was never type cast for any
role, she prefers serious roles but
is more than happy in any part
she portrays. This is brought out
by the fact that while in the sum
mer theatre Town and Nine group,
she played a girl of 12 in the
‘Philadelphia Story.’ In the Play
ers production of ‘All My Sons’,
Fran was 'cast as Kate, the 60-
year-old spouse , of Joe Keller, the
co-lead role. : i.
Other lead roles Miss Toll has
played on campus are “Cuspy” in
“Poor Mr. Varnum,” Lily Malone
in “Hotel Universe,” the former a
Thespian and the latter a Players
production. While in the Town
and Nine stock group she also
played‘Sally in “Voice of the Tur
tle,” Lorna Moon in “Golden Boy,”
Tony in “Squaring the Circle,!’ and
Madame Arcati in “Blithe Spirit.”
Fran also portrayed a “dark witch”
in “Dark of the Moon.”
If her work thus far in making
campus theatrical productions vir
tually brim with enthusiasm and
pathos is any indication, of Miss
Toll’s performance tohight, her
portrayal of “Amanda” ,in .“Glass
Menagerie” assures the student
body of a superb dramatic treat.

ing is composed of classrooms.
Changes in Old Main ,
. Ihe changes will also involve
a reorganization of the office sys
tem in Old Main, but the details
arc not definite yet. However, the
Dean of Men will probably move
to more spacious quarters, and
some provision will be made for a
student government room.
