Mendelsohn Theatre.
Miss Tannel has played lead

and "Ruddigore."
Princess Ida is the story of a girl
who at the age of two is betrothed
to young, determined Prince Hil-1
arion.
The betrothal is the plan of the
two fathers, King Gama and King;
Hildebrandt. Gama, the homely,'
sarcastic, and cunning king, will
be played by Robert Denison, '59M.
lildebrandt, the jovial, pompous,
and stupid father, will be portray-
ed by David Newman, '58.
Hates Men1
Since her early betrothal, Ida
has turned against all men and
locked herself in Castle Adamant.
Here the girls learn the villiany
of men and few of the pupils are
given the opportunity to observe
these henious cretures. Hilarion,
determined to capture his bride,
connives with two of his friends
to disquise themselves as girls in
order to capture Ida. Cyril, the
youngest, and overly exuberent
of the two, will be played by John
Klein, '60. The gallant lady killer,
Florian, will be portrayed by Ger-
shom Morningstar, Spec. Stu.
Florian's sauve character at-'
tracts young Melissa, Sandra Reid,
58M, who has never before seen
a man. The innocent girl becomes
extremely curious about Florian's
"chin that scratches."
All Brawn
Ida's brothers, Arac, Guron, and
Scynthius, come to aid her in her
war with Hilarion. However, these
"all brawn but no brain" charac-
ters actually give her little aid.
Guron and Scynthius will be play-
ed by Tom Sexworth, Spec. BAd,
and John Vavroch, 159M, respec-
tively.
Warfare begins when Psyche,
Florian's sister, played by Sarah
Jane Weston, '57M, discovers the
disguised men and is made to con-
fess to Ida. Ada, Sacharissa, and
Chloe, all young, eager and inno-
cent, have to learn to take up arms
and fight against those horrible
creatures, men. The three students
will be played by Cynthia Conway,
'59M, Rosalind Farris, '60, and
Ann Olson, '58.

Only Dietzgen Slide Rules
have these great features
Professional engineers say Dietzgen's new slide
rules embody the greatest advances in design in
more than a quarter century. Dietzgen's exclu-
sive Micromatic Adjustment permits perfect
alignment of the scales at all times. Simple re-
setting of one screw does it. The end plates need
not be loosened; fit and action of the slide is
never disturbed.
Dietzgen's automatic slide tension insures per-
fect slide action wherever and whenever these
rules are used. Slides cannot bind or stick-nor
become loose so errors may result from acci-
dental slide movement. These are truly great
slide rules. Important new scales added. New
super-safe carrying case. See them at your Dietz-
gen dealer today.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL NEEDS YOU!.
Why? Because we're growing at an exceptional
rate.
You might well ask what can our growth mean
to you. It means young men with executive and
administrative potential can rise rapidly. You
might reason correctly that you can grow faster
with us.
We're a leader in our field, In ten years the
combined assets of all life insurance companies
have doubled. Ours have tripled. Impatient men
made us grow. They moved on us. Many more
are slated to move up. To fill their shoes and the
new career positions rapidly being created we
need you.

mation about a career with Connecticut General.

So,ragain, Ie's be frank. We at Farnsworth won't
promise you/he moon. (Although we are working

All of which makes Farnsworth big enough for sta-
bility and technical perspective, yet small enough
for mobility, flexibility and recognition of the in-
dividual. Here you will be associated with and
encouraged by a team of eminent scientists and
engineers with many "firsts" to their credit in the
field of electronics. Here you will be heard ... not
just one of the herd.
We earnestly invite you to hear the whole fascinating
