Faces a Problem
Based upon the Robert Nathan
novel, “The Bishop’s Wife” is
the story of the trials and tribu¬
lations encountered by a newly-
appointed bishop in his attempts
to erect a new cathedral. Henry
Brougham (David Niven) is near¬
ly driven to distraction in try¬
ing to deal with a tyrannical,
money-laden old parishioner, up¬
on whom he is obliged to depend
for financial backing.
Suddenly, a seemingly heav¬
enly answer to the minister’s fer¬
vent prayers appears on the
scene in the person of Dudley
(Cary Grant), who quickly and
unobtrusively sets about right¬
ing the entangled domestic and
ecclesiastical affairs of the dis¬
traught young clergyman.
Angel Returns Home
However, complications arise
when Dudley finds himself be¬
coming unduly fond of Julia
Brougham (Loretta Young), the
day by Herb Blasier, commission¬
er of elections.

junior college conference will be

join one of the toughest regi¬
ments in the South Pacific. He
comes home somewhat chagrined
because the colonel had informed
him that “his mother wanted
him.” Meanwhile, as the play
opens, Ronald’s mother is worry¬
ing, wondering whether Ronald
might have been changed by his
new life. Ben, her husband, as¬
sures her that he is probably the
same boy that left home two
years before.
Plot Slightly Involved
Ronaly finally returns to find
his home much the same, but his
parents and friends on the other
hand, find that he has changed
more than they thought. His in¬

play is an hilarious series of
events including a chase through
a girl’s dormitory at night and
the love interests of both Ronald
and his buddy, Danny.

Yearbook Editor Bequests
Snapshots for Publication
Snapshots for the “Campus
Life” section of Pasadena City
College’s Campus, student year¬
book, may be turned in to the
Campus office, room 31C, Peggy
Gilbert, editor, announced.
Deadline for turning in photo¬
graphs is set for the middle of
April about a week after Easter
vacation. Pictures must have a
good background. According to
Peggy Gilbert, many of the
“snaps” have too dark a back¬
ground.
Snapshots should have some¬
thing to do with PCC students,
such as pictures of the snow and
individual parties. There is no
guarantee that the pictures will
be returned after they have been
submitted nor is there any guar¬
antee that they will be used.
