Is Tinal Fling' For Cloistered Law Students
"Final Fling," the last dance of
the season at the Union, will be held
from 9 to 12 p.m. today, Dick Scher-
ling, '42, social chairman, announced.
As each couple enters the ball-
room, they will receive "lucky blue-
books," each one graded. Among the
grades will be three A's.
During the intermission, the
D.A.R.'s will be called to the band-
stand and introduced. They may
then spend their reward in the Tap-
Room, or at their tables on the ball-
room terrace.
Bill Sawyer's band will finish a
successful season at the annual
"Final Fling," which is by way of be-
coming another one of Michigan's
numerous traditions. Scherling says
that this band is now considered the
outstanding college dance band of
the country.

Dramatie Season

Morals
. By GRACE MILLER
There is an answer to the moan
of the lawyers for the past week, "We
wakeful; oh, pity us!"; why don't they
wriggle out of the clutches of Police-
man Day, and take up life behind
the footlights as Horace "McNallyl
did?
McNally, who has appeared in
"Pygmalion", "The Winter's Tale",
"The World We Make", says, "I've
given up ambulance-chasing to chase
drama agents." So throw away your
briefs and fat law books, and come
along, you in the Law Club whose
alarm clock ran down the other morn-
ing.
College Drama Is Valuable
However, hitting a more seijous
vein, McNally added, "There can be
no substitute for dramatic work and
training in college, whether one is
planning on the stage as a career or
not." He went on to say, "The most
forceful way to teach Shakespeare is
to act it."
McNally studied law at Fordham
University, where he spent much of
his time in dramatic production, play-
ing everything from Caliban to Oth-
ello. After graduation he was ad-
mitted as a member of the New York
State Bar, and practiced law for a
short time.
But the love of good poetry, and
the joy of feeling and transmitting
moods and emotions never left him;
he abandoned his law temporarily
and undertook an intensive course of
study at the American Academy of
Arts.
He has distinguished himself as an

Conventional and conventionalized
flower gardens will be seen under'
the gaily striped canopy of the FieldT
House at the Ann Arbor Flower Show
from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. today through
Monday.
Around a centralized 150-foot pool
.will be a tea garden, with "coke" bar,
22 individual gardens, miniature ar-
rangements upon glass shelves, and
-pecimen blooms. Along the paved
terraces will be seen graceful garden
statues, and the latest creations ini
garden furniture.
The individual gardens will be
seen from the tea garden.. They
should 'offer valuable suggestions
and ideas in design and plant ma-
terial. Among these gardens will be
a herb garden, a fireplace garden.
an evergreen garden, a children's
garden, a bird garden, a cacti gar-
den, a cottage garden and a "mod-
ern" garden.
Near the entrance will be a school
children's display of flower arrange-
ments, and actual gardens. In the
balcony will be a garden library, a
photography exhibit, a scientific ex-
hibit and an exhibit of landscape
architecture. A flower booth at the
door will offer boutonnieres and in-
formation.
Around the pool will be a border
of naturalistic clumps of birch and
wild flowers on one side, and long
ribbons of white and apricot-colored
petunias on the opposite side. Along
the petunia border will be paved ter-
races, separated by tall partitions of
tamarack trees.
At the end of the pool, opposite
a fountain, will be three bronze sta-
tues and brick terraces of bright
flowered geraniums. Beyond this
will be a broad esplanade of tanbark,
which is to be flanked with tall to-
piary hedges forming niches for
sculpture and benches.

actor on Broadway, in summer com-
panies and on the road. What's more,
the man is not merely an accurate re-
flection of Yank or Hamlet or the
coarse Louis of "The World We
Make"; here's a man 'with little love
for the affectations and highly stilted
mannerisms of the theatrical world.
He is far from the type of actor
who would corner the theatrical
world, and leave no room for the
amateur stage. In his own words,
McNally feels that sincerity above all
things is essential to an actor.
Will Play Lead
"Ann Arbor must think I'm a dope,"
he grinned, "after seeing me as a
half-wit, and then as a half-brute,"
But then again, this may be a good
way to overcome the handicap (or is
it) you see typified in the picture.
However, he will have a chance at
straight acting when he plays one of
the leading roles in "Boyd's Shop,"
which is to open next week.
"About this lawyer business," he
put in bluntly, "I really have no high-
sounding advice concerning either
the stage or law."
