Comeback Second Apollo In 32 Years
By FLORENCE BROWN
Coming back to attend the school that his father left 32 years ago will be the experience of Calvin Apollo, Fredonia high school senior, when he enters the University in September.
Otto Apollo, Calvin's father, was graduated from the University in 1910 with a major in chemistry and since that time has lived on a farm near Fredonia. For the past 11 years he has been chairman of the county commissioners of that county.
Yesterday Apollo brought his son and a high school classmate, James Neuman, to the campus to make plans for the boys' enrollment in the fall. As Apollo showed the boys about the campus, he was conscious of many changes that have taken place since his graduation. When asked what was the most noticeable change, he answered, "It's immenseness."
Numerous new members have been added to the teaching staff also. A few who were familiar to Apollo were H. P. Cady, professor of chemistry, Olin Templin, secretary of the endowment association, and George O. Foster, registrar.
Each year there are many students who come back to attend the school their parents attended. This year there were 772 second generation students enrolled. When Calvin comes to Lawrence next fall, he plans to enter the School of Engineering.
When he attended the University, the construction of Frank Strong hall had not even begun. Fine Arts students were studying on North Campus Hill. Spooner-Thayer museum was a library, and the campus seemed small in relation to its present expanse.
Puppets To Portray Shakespeare's Play
A troupe of dolls dressed in gay costumes and moved by wires will, somewhat jerkily, portray the characters in Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream."
The marionettes, constructed by students in the School of Fine Arts, will appear Monday evening at 7:30 in room 316, Frank Strong hall.
Each puppet, dressed in the costume characteristic of its part, will be operated by its maker who will also speak its lines. Of the feminine dolls, many have bright hair and clothes that would make any model's mouth water. The men are handsome and also dressed in rich robes—except, of course, Puck who wears a few leaves and a little brown suit.
Students who have constructed these marionettes are: Cordelia Reazin, senior, who designed Lysander; Nadine Bass, junior, made Cobbweb, a fairy; Zona Richardson, senior, made Theseus; Dorothy Wiggins, junior, made Titania; Dorothy Conklin, junior, constructed Hermia; Betty McDonald, sophomore, made Moth, a fairy; Jean Blue, junior, made Oberon; Doris Davison, junior, designed and made Puck; Marjorie Owen, sophomere, made Demrius; Bernice Kizler, junior, made Helena; and Nadine Fox, junior, constructed Peas Blossom, another fairy.
