Drama Set
For P-TA
BY Rita Il. Elliott
Garden 1896

At the Twinbrook P.TA meet
ing on Wednesday, April IS, al
8 pm, the Drama Wing Of the
Department of Speech and Ora
matte Art of the University OF
Maryland will present "Tomor
row Is a Day"
This play is considered one OF
the better offerings relative to
the universal problem of inse-
curity In children. It is a play
about a mother who gains new
insight into the reasons behind
her 15-year-old daughters inabil-
ity to believe herself capable of
coping with new and frightening
social situations. Through a
series Of flashbacks one can see
episodes that contributed to this
insecurity at the pre-school, ele-
mentary, and junior high school
ages. A discussion period will
be held after the play.
During the business meeting
the Nominating Committee will
present their candidates for the
P.TA offices for next year. The
membership will be given an op-
