READING OF CAROL
BY NJ. B. JOHNSON
is WELL RECEIVED

The spirit Of the old fashioned
Christmas which, by the way, hap
pens to be the fashion for a real
Christmas for every year since the
good feast has been celebrated. the
spirit Of cheer and joy. of charity and
peace, was revived again in the read
ing of Dickens christmas Carol' by
Melvin B. johnson Sunday afternoon
at the university gymnasium before a
large audience.
In itself one of the most popular
Christmas stories of today. Mr.. john
sons reading of the Carol, with fine
dramatic spirit and sympathetic in
depreciation, made the event a most
enjoyable one. Mr.. Johnson is a
member of the class of 1920. Of the
University of North Dakota and dur
ing his entire university career has
been prominent in dramatic circles,
especially in connection with his work
with the Dakota Playmakers. His
reading yesterday was in keeping
with the kind of work which he is
accustomed to do.
AS "scrooge," Mr.. Johnson's inter-
probation was particularly effective
and some fine bits of character work
was exhibited in his delivery Of
Scrooge's lines. The entire reading
was Of fine quality, bringing into high
light the predominating theme Of the
story.
Under the direction Of E. H. Wilco1
Of the university music department
the Women's Glee club gave mum.

Doesn't it make you feel

age at ten ars or so
younger than you really
are? You look into your

a bad guess, at that"
The point is: You're no
older than your vitality.
If a man is strong, vigor-

chance of living up to 80
than a man of 30 who is
weak and rundown has of
living up to so. While none
of us can stay the years nor
stop time, we should all
make an heroic effort to sue
cessfully resist the effects
of time by ever keeping our
vitality at par.
