The Women’s Story Letters from Santa Now Available By PEGGY MADDOX Women’s News Editor Just imagine how excited your child would be to get a letter from Santa Claus in answer to his own! A letter that comes all the way from the North Pole—where, as all child ren know, Santa stays except when he’s delivering presents on Christmas Eve. This year your child can have that thrill —thanks to the local Ames Travel Agency, and Pan Ameri can World Airways. Get Santa Claus Stationery from Ames or any Pan American office. There’s no charge for a sheet and envelope. Using the Santa Claus Stationery, you answer your child’s letter, and sign the answer “Santa Claus.” Then you ; write your child’s name and address on the envelope, and i place a six cent Air Mail stam on it. Return the stamped j and addressed letter to your Travel Agent or the Pan Ameri can office where you obtained the stationery before Dec. 16. That’s all you have to do. Your child gets a letter from Santa. ~ From there your letter goes by air to “Santa” in Alaska. A few days later your child will be delighted to receive an air mail letter from Santa Claus—from the North Pole.

CUOTMIW4 SINCC - ‘ALL MY SONS’ CAST—Revising' the usual order, this is the cast of the Aggie Players’ first production. (From right to left) Harry Gooding and Iris Bullard have the lead parts as Mr. and Mrs. Joe Keller. Jerry McFarland is Chris Keller. Next to him on the chair is Virginia Lemmon, who will play Ann Dever. Leaning on her chair is Bill Witty, who will play George Deever. Roger Melton as Frank Lubey and Jeanne McMullen as Lydia Lubey are next to the Deevers. The play will be presented Tuesday night and Wednesday night at 8:15 p. m. in the MSC Ballroom. ‘All My Sons’ Utilizes Theatre in the Round Theatre-in-the-round will make its first appearance at A&M Tues day night, when the Aggie Placers present “All My Sons,” their in itial production of the year at 8:15 in the MSC Ballroom. Entirely different from conven tional theatre, the round type fea tures something similar to a box ing match. The audience complete ly surrounds the “stage.” Theatre-in-the-round has been successful in situations where the actors don’t have sufficient stage space to act. When the college tore down the Assembly Hall last spring, it left the Players with no stage. The MSC came to their rescue with an offer of the MSC Ballroom. The stage in the Ballroom is not nedrly deep enough for a dramatic production. In this play, the group has to resort to theatre-in-the- round. I'his type of production makes it more difficult for the actors, as they have no way to turn with out facing the audience. It also gives the audience a chance to get closer to the actors and enables them to see the actors facial expressions much better than the conventional stage. Lead Roles The lead roles in Tuesday night’s performance will be borne by Har ry Gooding and Iris Bullard as mother and father in Arthur Mil ler’s production. In supporting roles are Jerry McFarland, Virginia Lemmon, and Bill Witty. Richard Black will portray a doctor in the tragedy. Joan Brown, Roger Melton and Jeanne McMul len complete the cast. Tickets to the play may bo bought from any member of ••the- Aggie Players or at the ticket booth in the MSC for 50 cents. Two IE Profs Return From Meet D. E.

And his clothes are no longer flashy, fancy and gaudy. For his apparel, he looks to Mente/ten® to reflect his quiet, self- assured manner . . . his insistence on quality, comfort and casualness. Like this button-down Oxford with just the proper roll to the collar. Or this fine white pique with an eyelet tab collar with just the right degree of difference. We understand the modern col lege man. We concentrate our efforts, not on fads, but on making a better shirt. Ask for Manhattan . . . and you’ll see how true this is. Shirts, neckwear, underwear, pajamas, sportshirts, beachwear and handkerchiefs To a raindrop, all umbrellas are the same Yes, the nice part about umbrellas is their similarity. When the need is urgent, any one will work. When it comes to telephone equipment, however, a general likeness isn’t enough. Parts are engineered to be exactly the same no matter where they are used. Only such rigid standardization made possible the smooth and interlocking system that serves you from Penobscot, Maine, to Pescaderq, California. We’re reminded of it sharply in times of disaster — from flood, blast or hurricane. Telephone men from other areas can come and pitch right in with the same methods, tools and equipment. But one Bell System asset isn’t stand ardized. That is its people. It takes able, original minds to keep our business moving ahead. For college graduates qualified for and interested in such widely differing work as research, engineering, operations and administration, we offer many opportunities. Your college placement people will be glad to tell you more about it. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
