Theme of Play
The name of the play was taken
from Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar:
"The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our
stars.
But in ourselves, that we are under-lings."
The play shows how people given a
second chance at directing their lives
reveal that their basic characrers do
not change, with the exception of a
few with courage, with "the thin bright
faces."

Class Day Exercises, Baccalaureate Sermon,

Happy Memories Hide
Under Black Robes
By SIS FTTNDERBI7RK
Suppose you were a senior. Suppose
yon had to write seven term papers in
one week, take your exams, pack up
your clothes, mall all your books home
in eleven pound packages, (having
acquired a goodly number of same in
four years of college), and suppose
you had to live through that last week
of school. What would you do? That's
the ever-present question in the mind
of every senior, at this point They
say the last week takes away all the
stress and strain, hut we are not so
sure. First comes the arrival of the
family. Then the problem of what to
do with the family while you go to
the senior hall, in case you have a date
for the senior ball. Then comes class
day. This is something we know of
only through hearsay, but it sounds
awfully gay, what with 14 speeches
and a tea. Then comes the performance
of the senior piny, and then the Bac-calanrente
Sermon, and THEN, grad-uation.
So you see, it's not as easy
as you think. You have to work for
that diploma, girls.
All this time the graduate is think-ing
about WC. and just exactly what
four years here has mennt to her. or
what it has done to her. With sweet
nostalgia she remembers her first trip
to Hall Board, the first night she
served in the dining hall, and .sundry
other small items of similar nature.
We remember that ORD wasn't even
here when we first arrived, and the
furor that BTC No. 10 caused on
campus in the spring of freshman year.
And we remember with curiosity the
strange thrill we got out of rolling the
top of a trash can down the hall at
night in a freshman dormitory, SIK! we
wonder why we smeared cold cream on
doorknobs and Johnnie seats . . . and
the vicarious thrill a dateless fresh-man
gets from hanging out the win-dows
over the terrace of a Saturday
night.
Week-ends at Chapel Hill never
failed to please, but the Monday morn-ing
8 o'clock never seemed to hit the
spot. The hill on Sunday afternoons
. . . the bridge on a foggy night . . .
the first mass meeting of the year, and
the last one . . . the awful realization
that four years of education and n
black robe do not necessarily make a
WC graduate look like a learned
woman. All these things remind us of
still more . . . The umbrella parade to
chapel in the rain . . . the different
atmosphere of Aycock when University
Sermons come . . . milkshakes from
West End at five thirty. Judy Board
was always present, 'nuff said. Formal
dances were fun. and also the.attempts
to make corsages last until the follow-ing
week-end. We wonder if It ever
happened that everybody got the letter
they were waiting for so forlornly In
