(Continued from Page 1)
Lipscomb has found time to estab-I
lish one of the leading industries
in the South, the Continental
Chemical Company, at Cayce. It is
one of the three companies in the
United States which make sand
blasting stencil. The stencil is
used for carving in stone and
wood, for fancy decorative stone
work, etching glass and as a pro
tective coating in metal work.
Products of the company are ship
ped to all parts of the world.
His son, G. F. Lipscomb, Jr., and
Dr. W. M. Quattlebaum, a former
student are equal partners with
Doctor Lipscomb in the enterprise.
The extent of the company's
present investment is a contrast to
the initial investment of $1.50 with
which Doctor Lipscomb said he
started the enterprise in 1929.
"At that time," he related, "the
depression was effecting professors
as well as people in other walks of
t life. I purchased $1.50 worth of
chemicals and developed a plastic
material which looked like rubber
and felt like rubber. For the first

The 'company is continuing to
grow as new markets -develop for
plastic matcrial. Its interest now
include a variety of activities in
the manufacture of rubber prod
icts and plastics. Special organic
:hemicals are also manufactured
ror some of the larger chemical
!ompanies for use in plastic prod
acts.
The vision and energy which un
lerlies the development of the en
terpri4e is realised when Doctor
Lipscomb speaks of future im
provements and enlargement of the
plant. Every morning he is at the
plainl at 6 o'clock io begin opera
tions and returns to his office at
the university , where he teaches
from 8-10 a. m.
Freshman students in Doctor
Lipscomb's chemistry 11 classes
still express amazement at his uni
que method of illustrating chemi
cal processes and formulas on the
blackboard. According to students,
he casually writes out the notes
with his right hand, follows up
with the eraser in the left, then
turns to the class and says, "Just
plain ole horse sense, nothing hard
about that, is it."
Modest in approach and manner,
Doctor Lipscomb has always been
interested in developing the abili
ties of worthy students. His close
associates and former students
have remarked that Doctor Lips
comb has enabled many students
to continue at the university. He
ias also instructed many outstand
ing students, who under his guid
ance have made their marks in
scientific development throughout
the country. Many of these men
nave made important contributions
in their own right and some are
listed in the American Men' of
Science.
On retiring from the university,
Doctor Lipscomb will devote his

show has played to various clubs,
schools, and theaters throughout
South Carolina and New York.
Prior to the Col6mbia showing
William (Bill) Brickle spoke all

The fourteen musical numbers

'Angel Streei
Drayton Hal
By HARRIS
The curtains' in Drayton
night on the cozy gaslit interio
in its air of quiet charm, gave
ensue on its boards. The Unii
selves a witness to the slow-build
ing excitement of Patrick Hamil
ton's melodrama "Gaslight."
Although the play was quite
well-known to the students, thanks
to its success in London and on
BroaJway (as "Angel Street")
and more to its adaptation into a
movie chiller with Charles Boyer
and Ingrid Bergwan some years
back, the audience and this critic
were taken pleasantly by surprise
and followed every line with
mounting interest. In (act, near
the end, the critic, due to a hazy
memory as to exactly what should
happen, was on the verge of biting
his fingernails.
There is no doubt that the de
cided success of the play was due
to the outstanding piece of acting
turned in by Mary Shand, the cen
tral character who is slowly being
driven out of her mind by the
crafty machinations of a husband
of whom she is not aware is a
criminal maniac. This is not an
attempt to place Miss Shand above
the other actors, who each turned
in credible performances, but. in
a role that made unusual emotional
demands, she handled it with a
skill that is exceptional for college
dramatics.
Buddy Long, who played Mr.
Manningham, the sadistic husband,
had a difficult part to begin with,
but handled it with an impressive
characterization. He was a little
too stiff at times, reciting his lines
rather than acting them.
Rough, the self-loving lovable
old detective, with his sandpaper
wit, was played dryly and beau
tifully by Carl Vines. Another
genuine acting talent was seen in
the role of Nancy, the despicable
little Cockney maid, played by
Mary Hilliard. She was the only
one who turned in a realistic por
trayal of an English accent.
Sparky Eliot, playing the minor
role of Elizabeth, the maid, who is
sympathetic to her mistress, made
a good impression and gave just
the gentility and earnestness
which the role demanded.
The entire technical staff of the
players should be conunen4ed for
the unusually authentic apt and
the well-done job of handliog other
technical problems such as the
lowering of the gas -lights. Also,
an impressive job was performed
by the fierce tilent detectives who
manhandled Mr. Manningham at
the end of the play.

Coker Urges All
Seniors To Join
Alumni Activities
Officers of the senior class re
cently received a letter from C. W.
Coker, president of the Alumni As..
sociation, urging mll members of
the graduating class to join the
association before leaving school.
Dick Singleton and Carroll Gilliam
have been appointed co-chairmen
of the organizing committee.
Coker's letter is reprinted below.
"The University Alumni Asso
ciation would like to extend a cor
dial invitation to members of the
Senior Class who graduate in June
to join the Alumni Association be
fore graduation.
"It is our feeling that members
of the graduating class would not
lose their Cujilina interest and
could swing right into Alumni ac
tivities if membership in this
Alumni Association was effected
before they scatter. It would also
give the Alumni office a chance to
keep up with members of y9ur
class and to keep each of you
posted on the activities of your
classmates.
"Our interest is also a selfish
one in that we very much need the
support of the members of your
class in the serious programs
which the Association is attempt
ing in cooperation with the uni
versity. We need new ideas and
enthusism, and the influence that
your class could bring with it.
"It would be a tremendous stimu
lus to the association if your class
would join it as a class. I am ask
ing Ralph Lewis to give you full
information. I hope very much
that we can count on your support
and obtain your class's approval
of such a program."
