Sponsors First of Spring Parties Tonight at 9 o'clock the strains of the haunting music of the New Easternaires will softly waft across the evening air. Eastern's first gala occasion of the new quarter will be in full swing. This annual affair, promoted to find Eastern's most eligible bach- elor, has long been a favorite with the students. At 11 o'clock the \man-of-their-choice\ will be crowned by the coeds. Refreshments will be served in the Student Union Room immediately after the ceremony. The choice of man-of-the-year was made by a school canvass of all eligibles. The lucky five chosen from the first ballot are: John Calhoun of Columbus, Glen Streets of Billings, Bill Jull of Joliet, Bob Deming of Billings and Earl Hatfield of Shepherd. From these five, Eastern's \Most Eligible Male\ will be selected. SPRING PRODUCTION CAST CHOSEN Mr. Ray J. Harshfield, director of speech arts, has announced the final selection of the cast of \The Importance of Being Earnest,\ Eastern's spring dramatics pro- duction. From a group of 31 dramatics hopefuls, Mr. Harshfield picked nine to present the Oscar Wilde comedy May 24 and 25. Described by the authors as a \rival comedy for serious people,\ Mr. Wilde's play has won applause and praise from virtually around the world. Confusion resulting from a mix- up in names, a brillant climax and love interest combine to make this the most enjoyable play in Eastern's history. Tom Keating will play the part of Jack. For the role of Algy, Otis Packwood was chosen. For roman- tic interest, Dona Dunn as Gwendoline and Jan Hartley as Cecily were selected. Peg McCulloch received the highly coveted part of Lady Brocknell. Curt Andrews was chosen to play Rev. Chasuble and Maureen Demars to portray Miss Prism. James Filbrandt as Lane and Bob Argo as Merriman round cut the cast. This three-act play is a very ambitious undertaking. The cast is already in rehearsal to guaran- tee a hilarious evening seven weeks from now. Mr. Harshfield announces that the stage crew and production staff will be named and working within a week.
