costumes also looked very au
thentic, particularly the old bon
nets and dusters.
Lighting, under the direction
of Gordon Havens, was good. But
the lights on the balcony were
distracting when they caught the
edge of the curtain rather than
being turned fully on the stage.
Sound, under Walt Eckley,
was, as a rule, very well timed.
At times, however, the “fire
crackers” drowned out the lines
of the persons on stage. Rita D.
Lang, make-up manager, must
be commended particularly for
her and her crew’s work on Mr.

B a tablet (coal).
After his eight o’clock class
where he was surprised with a
pop-quiz, Mr. Zilch finds need for
an aspirin (coal). Heading for
the Corner Room, he tries to
light a cigarette, but finds he has
forgotten to fill his lighter with
fltud (petroleum). He settles for
a match which is coated with a
wax (natural gas).
This' goes on all day during
which time Joe undoubtedly uses
such common things as acetylene
gas (coal coke), TNT (coal), and
novocaine (coal).
Joe goes to bed. at night happy
because he has called his girl
on the telephone made with bake
lite (coal tar). He rests secure
because his varsity sweater with
the two-inch emblem earned; on
the yo-yo team has been safely
packed in moth balls (coal tar).
Just to be doubly certain of get
ting his three hours sleep, Joe
takes some Barbital, a sleep in
ducing drug made from coal.,
Now we hop over to Atherton
Hall where Imogene Scratchpad
is ready to begin her daily chores
(That- is to practice that hard
look which all'college girls get
about the middle of their, sopho
more year).
NOTE: In the case of Imogene
more must be left to the imagi
nation of the reader than to "the
accuracy of the author’s descrip
tion of her every move.
If she is mature nylon stock
ings . (coal) will cover her- legs.
Lipstick and other cosmetics
(coal) will be applied in the usual
meager quantities. A little (say
a, quart) of perfume (light oil)
is sprayed over herself, and she
is ready to trap an unsuspecting
male. After all, she says to her
self, isn’t that why I came to col
lege.
As the day progresses Imogene
probably has use for such every
day necessities as Hexylresorcinol
(coal), carbolic acid (coal tar),
creosote (coal tar pitch), and,
mosquito repellant‘(coal tar).
Imogene also goes to bed happy
because her boy friend has called
her on the telephone made Of
bakelite (coal tar). She is secure
in the thought that she is pro-'
tected from non-fraternity men
since she has sprayed the room
with sulfur fungicides (coke-oven
gas). . ■ , "
