Our. first real prediction came
true. "Papa is All" is,all, now, but
last Wednesday and Thursday evenings it was really "somewhat!"
Contrary to standard procedure
where seme one star usually takes
the limelight, the entire cast of
"t»apa is All'' put on a.superb performance. This should be the best
possible evidence of what our Central Michigan players can do and
should do a lot to encourage future
attendance at their plays.

• Sailors became a rarity on the
streets of Mt. Pleasant last week,
and the • swabbies were once more
(first time since July '43) greeted
by the "Oh's" arid "Ah's" of little
children on the weekend, after the
wholesale Naval Science restriction
set in. There weren't many on the
passing list, but things are picking
up now."
The V-12 irosn struggled through
their initial strength tests last week,
and currently they remind us of
Mexican jumping beans; just touch
one of them lightly on the tummy,
and you'll see what I mean.
The all-college picnic will undoubtedly be fun next Saturday evening. With all the free chow being
dished out, we can be sure that
there will be plenty of Navy there,
and" statistics show there is no
shortage of women.
• Must leave; it's 7:30, "DCT."
