PLAYERS PRESENT LYCEUM NUMBER

TEA FOR THREE PLEASES CROWD

One of the most enjoyable n umbers that have yet appeared on the lyceum course wns presented last :Monday even ing when the Coff cr-?ilillc r Play• c rs gave '' Ten for Three'' in the col· loge auditorium. 'l'ho piny w ns ex;. trcmcly l'njoya blc to the la rgo audience that watched it.

The play wa.s a comedy, laughable in many spot!-1, but" with a touch of serious thought running through it. The humor lies mainly in t he speeches of the c lever "butterfly'' friend, ' 'Phillip,'' whose nai veness buries his subtlety.

. AN ANGLE ON THE STORY The play is '' an a ngle on the t ri

angle,'' pro,·ing that the t riangle cnn be square. Doris and Phillip have long been friends. Their friendship dev· e loped from ' 1 puppy love'' to a strong attachment that continues even after Doris 's marriage to the dignified, 1

' stupid '' Carver. Carver, however, secs in their splendid friendship n harmful demon that is stealing Doris 's love from him. He therefore decrees that Phillip shall discontinue bis habit of comi ng to Doris 's home for tea every T hursday afternoon. Doris and Phillip make plan s to renew the old friendliness of the three ,while they a re lunching in a restaurant. Phillip comes to tea that nfternoon and arouses Ca rver's anger and j ealousy. From that point complications a rise. Doris r esorts to lies, while Phillip counteracts her word by t elling the truth . This complicate:5 matters for everyone. It is only Phil- · lip's death notice fo llowed by his re· appearance that saves the situation.

FEW SETTINGS USED Tho Coffer-Miller Players depend

upon their own acting rather than fine settings to make the play a success. The settings used a rc called '' Vignette sets ''. They consist of merely the min imum essentials, as a corner of a room. 11he indications are set in the middle of the stage, backed and flanked by black curt'-'.ins. Tho effect is good, however, a nd stage settings aro fo rgotten as soon as tho play com· mcnces.

The players arc all people of excellent training. Their work portrays a tnlent for clever acting on the part of each member of the company. Those who hnd seen them before hailed their coming with enthusiasm, such as will be henceforth displayed by every mcm·

Squad Returns From Two Non-Decisions

The debate team reports on el)joyablc and profitable trip to Milwaukee and Waukesha. They left at 2:20 Thursday for Milwaukee. While there the members of the team stayed at the MiUer IloteJ. Th e debates were not held until the following afternoon so the squad had plenty of time to do as it pleased and "enjoy the sights of the city. " At 3 o'clock the Stevens Point affi r· mativc met the Marquette negative before the deba te class. All debates were no-decision. After a cafe teria dinner wi,th the ~Iarq\Jctte team the negative team debated the Marquette affirmative at 8 :30 in the Music Hall.

Saturday morning the squad went to Carroll . Both t eams debated at 9 :~O in different rooms in th e Science building.

Besides having an enjoyable time the members made the important discovery that "the biggest liar is the best debator " . In addition it is reported that Miss Esther Hawks tried to learn to ride a bumper of a car while gazing at the tall buildings in Milwaukee.

STAND UP!!

HA IL. S tcnns P oi nt, the school upreme, Oh Gent ntl ' oll cg-e, 'rh ou art queen,

Ha\'e yo u e\'Cr hea 1·d t hese word · befo t·e? P erhaps some of you 1·c mcmb<'r that this song \\' as sung a few weeks ago in assembly. I wonder how many students in C. S. '!' . C. realize that the above lines a r·c fro m th e co ll ege toast. I also wonder just what the toas t means to sonw of these studen ts. Judging from the attitude of the audience m gc 11 l' ral , it was rega rded as " just another song." Love, honor, 1 espcc t, ad miration, and fee ling ca n not be . expl'essed by merely sitting a nd sin g ing.

ll a , .. you c,·e1· watched an a lumni from " ' isconsin , Yale, Harva rd , i\li chig-an or any other college or unive rs ity when their toast is sung1 They're up on their toes, standi11 g th e minute the fi r st chord ,s ~iven ,·:ith beamin g faces, ready to challenge the world if n eed be to show t Im t th e.,· honor , love, and uphold th eir Alma Mater .

At·e the 5tud ents of C. S. 'l'. C. glued to their chairs Y Are their l imbs l'i1 cum aticky, or is it bccau e they have never been taught otherwise! P e r·haps it may be because the toast doesn't r eally bring ou t th e idea of basketba ll , football , and other activities in so many word: as docs the "Purple and the Gold."

ll owc\' et·, it sta11 cls for more than that. It makes one think of wha t those " ·ho have cpm e and gone before us have done so that we might take adrnn ta gc oE the fin e opportunities off ered to us . Think of what t he song means line by line, word by word, and see if it docsn 't give yo u an inspira t ion to stand up, for the name and catch the spil'i t which someone felt when he wrqte that last line:

" Poi· t hou a r t great, all other schools above. " P . G.

A WORD TO THE WISE

' '0'' why ;;ct so excited - it's only a game." That in one brief st,,tement is the sp il' it among so many of our students and

one reason wh y OUL' pep meet ings never go over with a bang. That's the spirit and it's an ins id ious thing. At the Eau Claire game when out· hoys were· fight in g for the glol'y of Alma :t.fater, putting in every b it of' thei r pep and ·vita li ty into making that game the realization of our hopes i11 stead of a disappoin tment -

Oh, yes, we chee red - but how and when ? If our team had been th e Iosi n;! tea m would thcl'c have been as much pep behind the yelli.ng ?

Th,, r·e's somewhat of a refl ec tion on our loyalty. 'l'h ,· ga me wi th , ' tou t isn 't fal' a way and I thinl;; 'each inoividual

.;houl cl just take it upon himself to sho\\· every bit of pep and enthusiasm he ca n and not let the oth er "feller" do it. Just stay on your toes and let your voice out. Raise the roof or shake the founda-

. iion. - \\'h at 's . the differen ce - it 's worth it.

Building Air C~stles Dedicated To L. A. J.

We all arc always building "Castles of Air"

And arc making our futures seem bright.

We are a lways aiming to be so square. That none could say we 're not right. W e, nil, in some way have our ideals set And have various ways to get there. Yes, some of us happily t here seem to

get While the res t watch thei r s burst by the

score.

We build t hose castles every day And change them to f it each new plea

sure. \Ve build them for girls we fell for in

some way And dream t hey love us beyond

measure. .,,_ But then cruel life wa es us up again,--

By sho,ving us t hey arc not playing fair .

We sit back, I mean us disappointed men,

Who saw our bright castles burst in the air.

So I say why dream at a ll and day dreams,

And build those castles of ai r. Why b uild your hopes on '' it to me now

seems' ' When th ey are not getting you any-

wh ere. Why dream of 1ove from the. one you
