To Present Plays
At last you are destined to see
the results of the assiduous practices- that have 'been scheduled by
Miss Glennon during the last few
weeks. On next Tuesday, Dec. 18,
at 8 :00 in the evening, the Harlequin Club, with the assistance of
the general student body, will
present two one-act plays in the
college auditorium.
''Neighbors,'' one of the plays,
is a comedy whose action centers
around an orphan child whose
visiting brings about a neighborly
feeling, and, incidentally, precipitate's a clever love plot between
-Peter and Inez.
"The Christmas Carol", the
other iplay, is a very neat adaptation of Dicken's short story 1b y the
same name. It includes all the important parts of the original.
The ·cost is e:x,ceptionally low ten cents to students and thirtyfive to townspeople. Twenty cents

Bed Ti"!e Story
~.For Every One
Once upon a time (somebody suggested that we start it with something {)riginal) a handsome gentleman of C S. T. C. met a charming
girl in a 2 :10 Biology f_.ab. They
became well acquainted during
the rest of the period, and had
even reached the first name stage
by 3 :05. Altogether, they were
quite pleased with each other.
That evening, the aforementioned
Romeo found that he was not
very busy, and he much wanted a
date. Who would be better than
his new friend of the Lab. period f
No one, he decided; but how to
find her- that was the problem.
All he knew was her name. Consequently, he stayed home and
thought about what a nice time
he might have had. Too Bad ..
M·oral: If you want to be a wellequipped student, buy a directory.
(And don't think that this story
is only for the benefit of the men.
You girls can undoubtedly think
Qf many situations where you, too,
could very well use a directory.)

A review of the women's spor.t activities before the holidays and smee reveals a variety of occasion!!. The se~­
son of field hockey, archery, an.d tenms
was closed by a gay spree wh1eh was
attended by forty girls. Supper was
served in the old gym. Small tables
were decorated with candy hockey
sticks trimmed with purple and gold,
and figures of archers as place cards.
After the supper the women da~ced
and sang for a short length of time.
The heads of sports in charge . of the
affair were Maxine Miner, tenrus; Evelyn Dumbleton, archery; and Roberta
Me illiams, hock~y.
Basketball
Basketball, the keenest of our win.ter
indoor sports, has been progressmg
rapidly in these last three weeks. On
Monday and W~dnesday afternoons the
inexperienced beginners report. There
are three of these teams and they have
already shown a great deal of improvement. The advanced players who meet
on Tuesday and Thursday make up
three teams. The freshman squad, made
up of girls, many of whom come from
high s<!t10ol with four years of ?asket·
ball experience, show great .Pronuse and
threaten the seemingly mvulnerable
upper classmen. The sophomores are the
pick of last years four freshman teams
so that a sti:(f fight can be expectad
from this quarter. The junior-s~nior
team the much-to-be-feared, expenenc·
ed group, has in it such players as

HERE and THERE
a columnist's column
Probably the most. popular type
of recreation among students is
the motion picture theatre. From
inftOrmation we have been able to
gather by informal inquiry, we
are led to believe that the price of
admission to the t h e a t r e in
Stevens Point is relatively higher
than in neighboring cities and
other college towns.
We enjoy the ''movies'' because
of •capitalistic enterprise seeking
return from investment. The local
theatre presents a .monopo~y and
it is only natural for us to assume
that the rate of admission will be
as high as the "traffic" will hear.
However, as long as there is a risk
assumed and capital at sta.ke we
must allow for a reasonable profit.

any wrong impression we may
have created.
