by TOlfif FiNSTJElOM
Life Staff Writer
A new doctor in-a town full of healthy people
could become discouraged very quickly. On the
other   hand,   he   might   take   the   attitude   that
"healthy people are sick people who don t know
they're sick." . „      ,. .
Such is the case in "Dr. Knock," a three-act
comedy-farce to be presented in Warrmer Auditorium Wednesday through Saturday.

Knock" will be directed by J. Alan Hammack,
professor of speech.

Cheboygan freshman; Phil Abbott, HoweU sophomore; Jeana Rossie, Grand Blanc senior; Dane
Madsen, Grayling sophomore; Gerald Zehner,'
Royal Oak senior; Rebecca Stilwill, Grandville
sophomore and Jeffrey Grandel, Saginaw junior.
. "Comedy of Manners"
Billed as a "comedy of manners," the title
