'You Cant Take It
with You' Is Smash
Hit for Central
by Tom Simpson
A hit was scored Monday and
Tuesday evenings with the production of Hart and Kaufman's
"You Can't Take It With You,"
last of the summer Artist Course
Series. A full house applauded
for additional curtain calls both
evenings, paying tribute to the
artistry of Mr. Bush and his fine
performers.
This story of young love persisting   throughout   the    trials
brought about by a difference
in   social   status   as   well as a
difference in mode of living—
and   who   can  say   the   Sycamores were not "different?"—
was skilfully handled  by this
group.
The cast appeared particularly
well-selected,   for   each   of   the
actors fitted himself into his role
as if it were tailor-made especially for him.
* * *
ALL IN ALL, this fine, hardworking group can feel proud of
their accomplishment in the
field of entertainment. Not only
the players and Director Fred
Bush, but the members of the
production staff as well would
have been pleased to overhear
the various remarks of the audiences as they left the building.
Those who participated in behind-the-scenes work helped to
earn that applause.
Flapping Goloshes
and Painted Slickers
Back Again? Wow!
by Phyllis Thiel
The Roaring Twenties are raging again! Campus cuties and
their crew-cut beaus will grace
college campuses this fall with
all the paraphernalia of the bygone era.
Raccoon coats. Number One
Necessity of the Twenties, are
again  part   of   the  "sharpy's"
wardrobe.   Can't   you imagine
your    dreamboai   sauntering
down Franklin looking like a
vertical bear rug? What could
be more charming?
Beware, fellows, your best gal
may turn up   with   very   shorn
locks—in   fact  a   shingled   bob.
Try to run your fingers caressingly through that!
* * *
THE NEW LOOK is being
pushed into obscurity by a 1949
version of the flapper, complete
with middies, slickers, chemise
straps, and the flaming colors of
that once fabulous era.
But best of all, IT is in again.
Remember Clara Bow—the IT
girl of all times? IT, so fashion
says, is undefinable; the elusive something in a smile, a
manner, or a personality that
sets one apart from ihe others.
Hmm! Wonder if it comes in a
bottle.
Fashion dictators predict the
Twenties Craze will sweep the
nation. Who knows, it's happened before. By the way, how's
your Charleston?
Need of Resource
Materials Is Shown
The first Michigan History
workshop at Central has shown
that source material is needed
here at the college.
Dr. Rolland H. Maybee, head
of the department of social sciences, says, "The workshop has
great possibilities in the field
of Michigan History. Experienced teachers can do research,
write and prepare material if
the research material is at
hand."
Some students have had to go
far afield to find material; two
went to Grand Rapids' public libraries, and two spent the week
end at Ann Arbor working in the
Michigan History collection.

BERNICE    Butterfield   has
found some original manuscripts
and a diary of the Case family,
of   Benzonia   County.    "She   is
writing stories for   the   elementary grades," says Dr. Maybee.
Mr. Ferris E. Lewis, a visiting teacher and head of ihe department    of    social    studies.
Dearborn   Juniior    College,   is
assisting Dr. Maybee and helping ihe students in their original work.
One student is writing a Children's history of    Alpena;    two
others are collaborating on two
units  of   Michigan   history  for
fourth and   fifth   grades; and a
Bay City  student is  writing on
the lumbering business.
Ten students   are   enrolled in
this four-hour credit workshop.
Biology and Conservation Camp

XMC Is Different'
Says Brazilian
by Ruihea Kowalske
Dr. Emmanuel de Castro, an
exchange student from Rio De.
Janeiro, Brazil, has spent a
month in Michigan, and several
weeks on Central's campus,
studying the joint health program of Isabella County and
Central Michigan College. Dr.
de Castro, a pediatrician, is a
student at Yale and will be
awarded his master's degree in
public health when he finishes
this field trip.
"We give medical and denial
care io all children, and complete meals are given in some
parts of the country," says Dr.
de Castro.    "Our   system can
fit into a democracy."
In commenting on the differences between our two countries,
he said that there isn't any discrimination among the races in
Brazil, in fact his niece is married to a Negro.   And a family,
instead of owning an individual
house and lot, can buy an apartment in a building of 50 apartments or more.
* * *
"A DOMESTIC may not know
how to cook, but he knows the
laws," says Dr. de Castro. "Americans do not pay much attention
to the laws, just to the people
who make them; it is quite different in Brazil."
Nationalism is an unsavory
thing and Dr. de Castro, who
has a degree in political science, feels that it is contrary
to ihe hopes for world peace.
"To live for the world, and not
die for your flag," says Dr. de
Castro, "is education for peace."
Rain Turns Lawn
Party into Tea
for 75 Graduates
The graduates' lawn party became a tea at Keeler Ballroom
when it rained last Tuesday
afternoon. Miss Ima M. Chambers and the Faculty Social Committee quickly adjusted their
program for an indoor party between 4 and 6 p.m.
Each    woman    student   was
presented   with   a   small   corsage made by the decorations
and   flowers   committee.   Miss
Barbara King, chairman.   The
men  students  were   presented
with boutonnieres.
Dean D.   Louise   Sharp,   Mrs.
Charles L. Anspach, Mrs. Judson
W. Foust, and Mrs. George Nel-
soon, presided at the    two    tea
tables.   Punch and cookies were
served to the guests.   Miss Edna
Heilbronn was chairman of the
refreshment committee.
"TO THEE We Sing," by Peter
D. Tkach-, and "Comin' 'Round
the Mountain," arranged by
James A. Riddel, were sung by the
summer chorus, directed by Mr.
Bernard Stone. Shirley Bloch
Morgan accompanied the chorus.
Ireta LaSalle sang "Prelude"
from Cycle of Life, by Landon
Ronald, and "The Lovely Song,
My Heart Is Singing," by Edmund Goulding. Mr. Bernard
Stone played the accompaniment.
The program was arranged by
Mr. Lorentz T. Hansen and his
committee.
Dr. and Mrs. Walter S. Ryder
acted as chairmen of the host and
hostess committee. The invitation committee was headed by
Miss Irene Jorae.
About 75 persons attended the
tea.

are achieved.
Sex Education Topic
of Panel Discussion
Should sex be taught in the
school room, and when? was the
subject discussed by a panel at
a joint meeting of Miss Grace
Ryan's health education classes
and the education workshop, at
the Gymnasium last Tuesday
morning.
Dr. Emmanuel de Castro of
Brazil; Dr. W. Berneta Block,
Isabella County Health Department; Mrs. Opal Thorpe,
supervisor of ihe Health Service; and Miss Thelma K. Marshall, Laboratory School supervisor, were ihe panel members.
The purpose of sex education
is to develop desirable attitudes
in a generation of young people
who understand the physical,
psychological, and emotional aspects of sex.
* * *
WHEN THE panel discussed
the possibility of a negative attitude by parents, Miss Marshall
said, "Sex education ought to
improve social relationships and
moral attitudes."
Dr. Block told of her experiences with Isabella County's new4
program for expectant mothers
and fathers.
