Must be 1962. "On Sunday, November 11, at 8:00 P.M., the music department of Carthage College will present the oratorio Elijah, by Felix Mendelssohn." I'm writing for the college paper. I do reviews, and other artsy stuff. I'm nearly always late. This is not a review. It is a press release. On the back is a schedule of Deadlines. "...a dramatics review to be written at a Wednesday dress rehearsal would be deadlined for 8 AM Thursday."

I remember being at those dress rehearsals. I don't remember their names. I can't imagine I ever panned anything. I wish now that I had. Just for the sake of it.l
