Those of us who had known him when he first came to Westminster were happy to notice the cheerfulness that had overtaken him during his period, and also his happiness to be back at Westminster. Gaiety flowed from his easygoing disposition all the time. Tommy was seriously injured when the motorcycle he and Gordon Lambson were riding struck a cable strung across the highway at Charlesday, October 19th, dawned, it seemed ton, Utah.

Village Green is a homespun, yankee-esqu- e comedy dealing with a New England village and the intrigue of small community politics. It is the clash of a modern generation versus genuine New England bluenoses, refereed by conservative Judge Peabody, the subtle humorist, played by Dave Steele, and ably assisted by Mildred Richardson in the role of Mrs. Peabody. These two head a large cast adhering to the party line of traditional Americanism. They are: Bob Boughton, Ray Sellwood, Joy Brown, Edna Mae Arbogast, Warwick Tyler, Howard Jorgenson, Ed Doelle, Marjorie McDermaid, Duke Jennings, Joy Webb, Jamie Steele, Pat Moore, and Paul Cornaby. The production is being directed by Mr. Stanley Hamilton, who is at present engaged in completing his Ph. D at the University of Utah. Mr. Hamilton has long been prominent in intermountain drama, and the result of his attention is turning Village Green into a polished production. Two alumni, Gene Montague and Howard Snethen will be on hand to take care of stage production, and the business end is being handled by Betty Biddle Cornaby. Gene, Howard, and Betty are at present looking for volunteers in stage and Ju-hla- n, publicity work. Lite at St. Mark's Walter Rothaar in Probie student nurses are organizing a chorus. Dorothy McGough has initiated the plan and states that perhaps the group will sing carols in the St. Marks Hospital corridors during the Christmas season. The pri- mary purpose, however, is to organize into a fellowship the girls who like It is the spirit of it, not to sing that you have to be a good singer, just be willing to have some fun with songs, says Dorothy. At the Halloween party on Monday, October 30, Joan Berkhimer won a bottle of cologne for having the most original costume. A rattle was the prize given to Dorothy McGough for winning over four other babies drinking coke from a bottle through a rubber nipple. Janie Thompson, a junior, wras a gypsy fortune teller at the party. Probies received strangely congruent predictions for either limited or successful careers. Janie declared she didn't want to be discouraging after their having only two months of training. Further entertainment was furnished in the ghost story told by second year student, Marian Stone.' Utah Symphony One of our students, Walter Rothaar, gave a fine performance Saturday night with the Utah well-know- n Symphony Orchestra. Head of the Percussion section of the Symphony, Walter has a wonder ful opportunity for demonstrating his virtuosity on the tympani, in a program made up almost entirely of Wagnerian compositions. Walter started playing tympani (or kettle drums, as they are commonly called), professionally whth the Dallas Symphony Orchestra during the season, and with the Indianapolis Symphony during 1942. Then came a period with the U. S. Army, and after that, he caine to Salt Lake City in 1946, and has been playing with the Utah Symphony ever since. In addition to teaching the tympani, Walter also sells real es1941-194- 2 tate- pleasant atmosphere for both study and chit-chsessions. at Included in future plans are a Christmas party, plans for redecoration of the recreation room, and, in the first Student nurses are relaxing during spare hours in their recently redecor- project in recognition of State Student ated reading room.
