Dear Mrs. Martinson and mem¬
bers of the female choir (com¬
monly known as Ladies’ Chorus),
I saw you and all of your girls
parading across campus the other
day to have your picture made
for ye ole’ yearbook, and while
out I saw the whole group of
your h*rem proudly parade on
over to the x-ray unit and have
another pictue made. That’s girls
for you, somebody says “Camera,"
they smile.
Roses are red,
Violets are bine,
Yon vote for me,
I vote for yon.
Themesong of the politlcing
Howardites is seen above, and
heard coming cross campus.
Somebody mentioned a great big
political rally but I haven’t heard
anything about it lately. How
about informing the ones of us
who are not in the know, as to
when we can hear all the candi¬
dates?
Nominated for jitterbug of the
week is Olen Nall, who played
the part of the Roman soldier in
morning watch tableaus this
week. Seems as if he couldn't
stay "frozen.”
The Greeks had a word for It,
and here at Howard they had a
week for it Think I had better
sneak in on Dr. D.'s Greek class
and brush up on my knowledge
of the language if things get much
greekier. Even M A. followed

Pygmalion Production
Set For May 9-11
As a contribution to International Theatre Month, a world¬
wide movement to promote international understanding
through the drama, the Howard College Masquers will
present Pygmalion by Shaw at
the Howard Auditorium on May
9, 10 and 11.
The movement is sponsored in
the United States by the U.S.
National Commission/ for
UNESCO, the American Educa¬
tional Theatre Association and
the National Theatre Arts Coun¬
cil (Publishers of the Theatre
Arts Magazine). ITM encourages
community, educational and pro¬
fessional theatre productions of
plays which demonstrate such
universal themes as human rights,
freedom of the individual, and
moral and spiritual truths which
men of all nations share as a
common bond. The Howard
Masquers chose Pygmalion as
their
ГГМ
contribution this year
because the play contributes to
international understand¬
ing through its light-hearted
treatment of social class problems
in England.
During the play's run, thfi How^
ard Masquers will join American
Theatres from coast to coast in
making available at the theatre
information dealing with
UNESCO, the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cul¬
tural Organization, to which 79
nations belong. UNESCO encou¬
rages cultural activities to serve
world peace through mutual un¬
derstanding.
Since 1950, International Thea- ,
tre Month has been celebrated an¬
nually by theatre people the
country over, who devote their
productions to plays . demon¬
strating universal themes, many
of which are contained in the UN
Declaration of Human Rights and
in the Constitution of UNESCO.
Pygmalion is the play on which
the current Broadway musical
My Fair Lady is based.
