STUDENT' COMPOSES

NOTABLE PAGEANT

"Up

From the Beginning" Shows
Growth of Social Progress.

The pageant, "Up From the Beginning," which was written by Adele
Slade, was read by her at the meeting
of the Phllosophlan Literary Society
Wednesday evening. This pageant is
considered by the faculty who have
read it as one of the best things ever
written by a student. It is to be published next month In the quarterly
issued by the Education Department
and also in pamphlet form.
The pageant presents In allegorical
form, the rise of social progress, showing the contributions of Greece and
Homo and the movements of other
nations. It contains many theories of
the present day as to what factor contributed most to civilization and the
growth of social progress.

AUDIENCE DELIGHTED
Delighted audiences left the Campus Playhouse Monday und Wednesday evenings after attending the program given by the classes in Dramatic
Production. The three plays, "Overtones," "Joint Owners in Spain," "A
Maker of Dreams," making up the pro
gram of each evening, had a variety
and charm, possible only to
t
plays. Remarkable talent and humorous characterization were displayed.
Professor Lampert led in commun
ity singing during the interval be
tween the first and second plays. Old
favorites, "Love's Old Sweet Song,"
and "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton," were
enjoyed. Dean Simrall gave a brief
but Interesting talk while the stage
was set for the last charming little
drama, emphasizing the importance

showing the constant battle between
