After two years In which  the absence  of dramatic entertainment kept  the  stage  dark and empty, student actors will  again "tread the boards" in the tryouts for Thorn-ton  Wilder's "Our Town"  this  afternoon  from  4 to 6 o'clock.  The story is about a boy and girl wha grow up together,  fall in love and  marry. The simple philosophy of "the good life" in the play  won for playwright  Wild-er the Pulitzer  prize  of 1938. '"Our Town' presents an un-usual  variety  of problems  not dealt  with in most  plays," states Director William Melton, "the amount  of pantomime is a example of this." Although will be no scenery at all, costumes of the  turn of the cen-tury and special lighting effects will add a traditional note to the production. Melton wishes to stress the ad-vantage of the number  of "crowd" scenes which will offer the be-ginning  actor  an opportunity to acquaint himself with certain  fundamentals  of acting technique. There will be a special booth There are several smaller parts  set up In the Library arch today which  students will achieve fine for the sale of La Torres. I acting experience.

To tell you school's begun again: The corridors and  classrooms gleam  The windows, sheets  of crystal  seem; The "Co-op's" fresh and bright with paint;  (It's coffee,  still has flavor  quaint).  The-sacred--Quad ificnow a-swarms With "Frosh" (girls)" all  exuding charm: But if you are  Tau Delta Phi, Excuse yourself  and have a cry: Your ancient owls  have lost their bow'r  --Those  pigeon pests possess the Tow'r.  The elms are casting off their leaves,  The "Profs" have shed (we hope) their peeves, And now benevolently smile Impartially  on "honeychile,"  And lush  brunette with painted toes. On local Janes,  and "Vetiran  Joes."  (A situation, that we pray, Will  still obtain, come Mid-Term  Day.) It's yet too early to report  The prospects in the line of Sport. One thing is certain: there won't  be A chance to smack down "C. 0. P."  Or push the Fresno "Bulldog"  'round. (Our gloom o'er this  is most profound.) Our eyes are  on the  BIGger Game, You're winning now. With Spartans' fame As fighting folks, so widely  spread O'er ev'ry  Zone and each Beachhead,  Know, too, the heart of SPARTA beats With  fondest pride in Spartans' feats On landon seabeneath--in sirIn townsin Jungles. Everywhere That Yankeee-hunt.  the Jape and Huns.  She has her daughters and her sons. And everywhere a Spartan  sleeps... Your Alma Mater, vigil keeps... We love you Joe, and'you, too, Jane: We share your ev'ry hurt and pain; And each of us from "Prexy" down Thro' all the Staff to this dull clown, Look forward to the happy day, Will find you "COMING Our  Way." Mr "C" P. S. For those  not permanently "hooked" I'll say there's "dates" who might be booked: For "lambs" are many"wolves" are few, There's still some "cake," and "mountain dew," (Of course, theree "Lady Deans," but then We HAVEN'T any Dean of Men!)  411COP Thrust And Parry EDITOR'S  NOTE: - Thrust and Parries must be under 200 words, signed with contributor's fall name,  which will be withheld upon request. Letters  must be accompanied by student body card numbers. Dear Thrust and  Parry: I. Wouldn't  it be swell  if there were lockers down one side of the long hall of the Libe?  It's the logical  place. Wooden ones even would be agreeable, could be low and  painted to harmonize. Lumber is unrestricted  now. 2. Wouldn't it be swell to have an ink bottle and pencil sharpener just outside the Daily door, as well as in several  other stratekic  places. Oh, yes--and  a rag to wipe  the pens like the Student Union's. 3. Wouldn't  IV be swell to have shelves and hooks  along both  up-per and  Jower  halls of the Edu-cation wing, to park those  lunches, wet bandanas, etc.,  before you fall into class on wet winter  ayetne. _ E.
