On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
There were also some good things about last night's show, Warren Littlejohn's dancing, Patty Wadley's almost-Bonnie singing, Virginia Apple's dancing, despite no solo part. Those are the things we remember without a look at the program again. The nice things.
General concensus: Donna Hughes is the only saving grace in the first part. The second part could be much improved. "It's a Dull World" borders on a direct steal from "It's a Blue World." "That Guy Named Si" should get someplace, with Wadley singing it.
Lots of us think that rehearsals should have started a couple of weeks earlier. They might have if the freeze hadn't been applied for money where money wasn't. And without justification.
Say those who followed rehearsals, "It's a miracle. You should have watched it two days ago."
We refrain from comment on the well-advised skit aimed at this paper. We'd like to know who was the technical adviser.
Why is it that musical comedies at Hillville always take on the aspect of grab bag for somebody? The band

and arranger for the production several years ago are still crying for their money. Or part of it.
Little Anna Jane Hoffman thinks that rehearsals have lasted long enough. Long enough for her to raise a fine crop of corn. That shouldn't worry her—a little more corn won't hurt that show.
But it's worth 35 cents. On the other hand, if you take a date it costs 70 cents. And we said 35 cents.
Professor U. G. Mitchell Addresses Missouri Group
"Geometric Configuration" was the subject of a talk Prof. U. G. Mitchell of the mathematics department made to the Missouri section of the Mathematics Association of America in Warrensburg, Saturday. Professor Mitchell and C. H. Brown, assistant instructor in mathematics, returned Monday from the meeting, a branch of the annual meeting of the Missouri Academy of Science.

I tried to calm him. "Why, now,
George," I said, still calling him
George was calm. "The hell there aren't," he said quietly, throwing a straight-edge at me.
George. "There aren't so many beauty queens."
Ambiily seizing George by the scruff of the neck, I pinned him to the floor while he recited more of his troubles.
"I didn't mind so much." George cried, "when they picked a Homecoming Queen. And picking those queens to go with movie stars wasn't too bad. And then the Cinderella Girl. It hurt when they started honoring the Kansas Relays but I decided I could bear it. But when—"
Here George broke openly into tears and I left him there alone with a chicken dinner.
While walking to see the authorities I began to see his point. There were the Drake Relays, and they would have to have a queen. And the Hobnail Hop and the Jayhawker magazine. Even Fred Littoo picked one. It was getting so George couldn't go near the girls because he felt so inferior around all the royalty. There weren't any more ordinary girls left. Yes, I decided, I would have to make George a queen.
But all's well that ends well. After three hours of investigation I discovered three more groups on the

Now George is happy. Besides giving him a chicken dinner, I arranged to have George named queen of all three of those groups. He
