Show f A Day For Vearin of the Green The annual Saint Patricks Dance, dated for March is only a few days away. Plans for the big event are being launched on such a full scale that this dance promises to be one of the biggest events on campus this year. Sponsored by the Girls Dorm, the gala affair will be held at the Coon Chicken Inn, complete with a fabulous dinner and a top combo providing an unforgetable evening of dining and dancing. 19, . Westminster College Salt Lake City, Utah March 17, 1955 The theme of this Irish festival JUNIOR CLASS PLAY TONIGHT Tonight and tomorrow night, you can see at long last the Junior Class production of ,rWhat Wilbur 'Wrought. The play, starting at 8:00 P.M., stars Tom Pudgy Sheldon as the young one, Pat Wilson plays his older sister and also the romantic lead; Jeanine Goodwin is their mother and Dick Proctor rounds out 'the happy family, as the father. No melodrama is complete with-- ' out a villain and we have a choice one; none other than John Curly Young. The hero (this will kill you), is Dick Big-uBradley. Others in the cast include Joe Juhan as the able travelling salesman, Don Farnsworth wears a tuxedo, and wait until you see Marcia Baldwin. There is also a, mystery guest star; this is .one nl the very capable Thespians under contract of the Westminster Players. Last, hut not least, the ' play was written, produced and directed by the inimitable Jay Lees, who has had a fine reputation on the campus as an outstanding director. This play should determine whether or not he will sign a contract next year. The scene opens in the living roam of Jed and his family. But the happy scene is darkened by the sneering face dum, da dum, n dum of the villam, John Curly Young, who has been type cast for the role. The situation darkens for Jed and his family until 'the team of Bradley and Juhan, (Not to be confused with the fighting team of Proctor and Juhan) show up and rescue the family from dire straits, with the help of mighty mite Sheldon and Pat Wilson. Farnsworth is brilliant in his latest endeavor as is Miss Baldwin. AH in all, a very entertaining evening is anticipated and the play is presented for your benefit (the 25 cent charge is merely a token of your appreciation of such a talented cast assembled in one play).

' b-gi- NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles which will appear in the next issues. In hundreds of communities across this nation are located small liberal arts, church related colleges. The influence for good which these quiet little institutions have wrought upon the life of our country is inestimable. All of our early colleges in this couhtry were founded by religious denominations. The purpose was .o produce capable national leaders .as well as denominational leaders, both ministerial and lay. America has very strong proofs that these Liberal Arts College have purchased great leaders in all .walks oof .life. With few exceptions, nearly all of our Founding Fathers were educated in the arts as free men. At least 21 of the J3 Presidents of the United States Jiave had the advantage of a liberal AND education, LEADERS IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE HAVE AT ALL TIMES IN DTD. OUR NATIONAL HISTORY COME FROM THE NOURISHING SEEDBED OF LIBERAL ARTS COL- LEGES: A xecent .survey in the Methodist Church indicates that 70 of those ministers entering one of our Annual Conferences in 1948, were graduates of .the Liberal Arts College before entering their post graduate work. Also, 95 of our active bishops are graduates of the church .related, liberal arts college. Recent surveys made among lhe nations top flight business and industrial leaders have resulted in the same astonishing conclusions. These small liberal arts colleges have provided leadership for our nations business far beyond what might he thought of as their share. L. B. Lundborg, Vice j President of the Bank of America says: If the leaders of tomorrow are to have vision, they must be able to see things whole . . . That is one of the functions of a liberal education without which a man cannot truly lead in the modern world . . . and the liberal arts colleges are the fastest, surest and cheapest way to provide the education. Others among the nations business leaders share this view. Men like President John L. McCaffrey of the International Harvester Company decry overspecialization. The . experience of recent years at institutions like Johns Hopkins and Yale shows all too clearly that major companies by their recruiting policies are almost without exception, seeking broadly trained men who understand the whole sweep of modern economic political and social life. Alfred P. Sloan, Chairman of the General Motors Corporation has put it in a capsule: Give us educated men. We can train them ourselves, but . we cant educate them.
