> The comedy, "The Man Who Came
To Dinner," will be presented April
11, 1946 , by the Bloomsburg Players
and directed by Miss Alice Johnston.
The play has been "in the making"
for the past threes weeks.
The following people are members
of the cast: Harry Reitz, Bernice Gabuzda , Ann Williams, Karliss Kight,
George Smith, Harold Swisher, Harry John, Jean Richard, Jerry Demaree, Jack O'Donnell, Robert Mallard , Willi am Miller , Robert Martin ,
Robert Llewellyn, Gloria Mainiero,
and Gladvs Kuster.
The authors, George S. Kaufman
and Moss Hart, are fellow Pennsylvanians who have met witK ^much
success on the Broadway staged The
play has created many minor characters with important parts in. conj unction with the play 's plot. It is a
play of humor which is brought
about by clever lines. The plot itself
is possible but highly improbable.'
The following is quoted from
TIME , October 30, 1939: "In the 'Man
Who Came to Dinner,' George S.
Kaufman and Moss Hart had a smash
hit on their hands. Tale of a famous
lecturer who goes to a dull dinnerparty in an Ohio town, gets hurt, and
has to stay- on. in the: house for weeks,
the play's wit is as gleamingly cutthroat as its antics are gorgeously
custard pie . . . Though no stage
character but Whiteside has ever
made a wheel-chair seem so much
like a guillotine, Kaufman and Hart
have filled their flabbergasted Ohio
living room with more than verbal
slaughter, have turned it also into an
immensely comic beer garden. While
wisecracks pour out of one faucet,
nonsense nours out of another."
A quotation from THEATRE ARTS;
November, 1939 , reads as follows:!^
"And he (the author) can mold ai,
rollicking script like 'The Man Who "
Came To Dinner ' j ust as well as a
sombre play like 'Of Mice and Men,'
and with equal variety . . . The wit
and wisecracks of this scorpiontongued farce are perhaps too insular
for wide consumption, as they certainly are too topical for long survival, but as presented here and now,
'The Man Who Came To Dinner ' has
come to stay."
After several weeks of try-outs,
the cast was selected from a group of
the original contestants. The talented members of this group will strive
to make the play even, more interesting and entertaining than the rendition of the professional stage . Many
of the male members of the cast have
been away from the amateur stage
for a number of years. This opportunity of again performing was met
with much enthusiasm by the students, which will give the play the
added factor necessary for success.
Gladys Kuster, chairman of the
Stage Set Committee, and her assistant , Robert Llewellyn, have designed a stage set which is both clever
and original.

Did anyone ever tell you about the
great Susquehanna Naval Battle? No?
Well then prepare to absorb one of
(he little-known facts of United
States history. Any resemblance to
persons living or dead is purely coincidental. This cataclysmic event
took place in the Fall of 1774 (June
17 to be exact) between the Indian
tribes of Buckhorn , principle harbor
of the Pennsylvania seacoast, and
the invading Whites.
It seems that Patroon R. U. Gonna
gave a land grant to the Van Hoosengophers of Unpainted Post , New
York , because their sauer kraut still
exploded and the aroma of the mixture almost asphyxiated the neighbors. Naturally, such a menace to society just had to be liquidated. Thus
the land grant.
Late at night , about 6 A. M., the
Van Hoosengophers arrived within
sight of Buckhorn in their caterpillar
tank. Smokyhanters , Second Lieutenant in the Buckhorn Indian Tribe,
saw them coming from his plane
spotter 's station in ye olde spreading
chestnut tree. With a blood-curdling
silent howl he announced the presence of Papa Van Hoosengopher,

As they got the message over their

skates, snow shoes, and water wings
and flew to the Forty-one and a Half

clanking tank , and opened fire with
their ack-ack guns, only to be met by
a flash of crimson from the Indians '
flame throwers. The battle raged
listlessly until eight bells , when , after
firing his last snowball , alas! and
alack! Junior Van Hoosengopher was
captured by the 32nd Division of the
Flying Squirrel Paratroopers.
During the lull in the squabble that

Did You Know Wh y :
1. They built this college on the
hill? So they could have an institution of higher knowledge.
2. They put stone steps and then
wooden ones leading up to Car- ¦
v|if Hall? Well the first step is '
supposed to be the hardest.
3. The auditorium in Carver Hall
is on the second floor? So the
chap el programs will always be
elevated.
4. The clock in the Carver Hall
to we r isn 't too dependable? Because it's four faced.
5. Science Hall has so many differen t floors ? I t 's composed of various levels of education.
6. Th ey call the commuting students rooms—Day Rooms? Because they 're locked up tight at
night.
7. The la nguage classes are on 4th
floor of Science Hall? They say
learning a foreign language is a
continued steady chmb .
8. Th ey placed large urns in the old
gym? The answer is rather a
"burning " one.
9. They keep so many books in the
college library ? So every student
can turn over a new leaf weekly .
10. The Centennial Gymnasium is
way up on top of the hill , sort of
by itself? The sports field is
broadening annually.

M id-summer Night 's Dream
Blow by Blow Descri ption

It was a cool , crisp day in July and
storm was brewing. The stasnow
a
dium was jammed with thousands of
spectators — for the Harvest Moon
Ball.
It was fifteen minutes before game
time and the two football teams ran
out on the field .with water wings and
bathing suits. A tremendous roar bellowed out from the audience as the
cheer leaders clad in armor , served
lea to the grandstands.
s Pri or to the game a foot race was
staged by two Mosquitos—what a
sting ing race!
Then the siren rang for the game
to start and the referees sang "a-tisket-a-tasket" to pep the boys up.
The team lined up for a blow by
blow description of the bout between
Harry James and You Know Who.
The game really got under way as
I the quarterback fell from his horse
\ while trying t to recover from a lost
| week-end. Just then the five o'cl ock
[ whistle blew for all hands on deck
l and a touchdown was scored by a
al ong fly into left field. This ended

the first half of the game , leaving the
Jesters trailing the Penguins 73 to 2.
As the second half opened , Superman came swooping over the arena
in search »of his deadly opponent
Lord Buckingham. This drove the
crowd frantic. They hardly had time
to quiet down when coach Tremato
did a fan dance with Bugs Bunny .
Toward tire end of the game the
Jesters were again threatening to
score by making a hole in one by
dealing from th e bottom of the deck.
But the Penguins retaliated by winni ng the steeplechase and the Easter
egg h unt held by the C. G. A.
Time out was called and the referee sang "Baby Get the Hammer ,
There's a Fly on Papa 's Head. "
The game was in its last mi nute
and was a bitter battle. The gun
whistled the end of the game and the
pool table was moved out of the
locker room to make room for the
snow plow which was having a new
spare bar put on. This ga me is h eld
annually so be on hand next Christmas.

Poem!
'Twas a cold and stormy night one |The other his head did sever.
A gay young miss came trippin g by
day ;
The moon shone out in splendor..
| She was old and bent with years.
; She h ad a smile upon her face ,
Th e winter winds were howling
'Twas the beginning of September, And her eyes were filled with tears .
Two men were standing face to face , i She recognized the dying man ,
And cried aloud , "Wh o is he?"
Wi th both their backs together.
Th e one from his belt a revolver ¦' He raised his headless body up
drew,
