Coward's Hay Fever
**Hay rover’', a Noel Coward
comedy In three eels, will be pre-
sented by the Lamar Curtain club
Thursday and Friday at • p. m
In the college auditorium.
The play, directad by Myrtiss
Brooks, dramatics coach at Lamar,
concerns an ax-actrest who Mill
has romantic Illusions in spits of
her fwo grown childreu and a
husband. Her hobby of collecting
naive young men to dazzle with
her synthetic glamor creates tur-
moil throughout the play.
The action covers a weekend
in which each member of the
household Invites a guest for the
weekend without consulting the
rest of the family The resulting
confusion is hilarious in the best
Noel Coward tradition.

that was the final score. 3-2.
Vernon had an easy time beat-
ihg San Angelo, 15-3.
Dellinger came from behind
with two runs in the ninth to edge
Roswell, 7-8.
Midland took a wild, 16-12, vic-
tory from Sweetwater. '
