A scene from the play "Blithe Spirit" which the Masquers are
producing this week in Warriner auditorium. Gwenn Gwinn as the

Vet Wives Entertained
by Child Study Club
'Twenty-five wives of veterans
enrolled at Central were the guests
of the Mt. Pleasant child study
club last Wednesday evening in the
College „ elementary school. Miss

children for world citizenship.
Dramatic Group
Presents Comedy
Masquers are presenting the
Noel Coward comedy "Blithe Spirit"*
at 8:15 p.m. Monday through
Thursday of this week in Warriner
Hall Auditorium. The story concerns a novelist who, in his search
for material for a new book, invites
a spiritualist to his home. During
the seance the eccentric medium
accidentally conjures the spirit of
his dead wife. Her presence in the
household along with that of his
second wife causes many comical
situations.
. The play is very well cast and
produced under, the direction of
Fred Bush. Charles Condomine, the
novelist, is played by Ernest Vegter, Muskegon Heights senior, who
bandies this difficult part with exceptional ease and finesse.
.The part of Ruth Condomine, the
second wife, is handled very gracefully by Beverly Marzolf, Ithaca
junior. Gwen Gwinn, Ludington
senior, makes an enchantingly ethereal Elvira. Madame Areati is portrayed bv Patty Looman, Manning-
ton, West Virginia senior, who plays
this comic part superbly. Dr. and
Mrs. Bradman, are played by Gilbert Roberts, Berkley freshman,
and Sally Carnahan, Mt. Pleasant
junior, who execute these roles with
a great deal of naturalism. Marilyn
Lee, Petoskey senior, in the role of
Edith the giddy maid, turns in a
very good performance.
This laughter-provoking performance is an excellent opener for
this years dramatic season.
Jim Ryan is technical director
and was assisted by Warren Dolan
and Bill Cramer and members of
the play production class. The excellent lighting1 effects were produced by Paul Elliott.

A part of Central's building program may be completed by January, Norval C. Bovee, business
manager announced last week.
The buildings which will be completed include nine barracks and
apartments for married veterans.
The barracks will accomodate 288
men and the apartments will provide housing for 52 married veterans and their wives.
The present delay on the veteran
apartments and the barracks is in
securing plumbing • and heating
facilities. If the equipment can be
obtained the buildings may be occupied by January. In ease the materials are not available occupancy
will be delayed until March of '47.
Practically all excavating for the' completion.
Arts and Crafts building, dormitory and Food commons has been
completed. Also 80 per cent of the
supporting pillars for the Arts and
Crafts building and some pillars
for the dormitory have been poured,
Mr. Bovee stated:
The effect the recent passage of
amendment number two will have
on Central's building program is
not known at present. The dormitory and food commons will not be
affected as they are self -liquidating buildings.
Whether the dormitory being
erected will be occupied by men or
women on completion depends on
the housing needs at the time of
