"Learning can be fun and enjoyable,"
Grannis said. "I enjoy teaching the class
and I thrive on input the students give in
class—they make it go.
"The students come up with the project
ideas and I help them put it into a form. It
becomes a meaningful experience," he
said. This class is not a standard wood
working class, it is a new dimension open
to the students. It gives the student a
realistic way to study the industry, leaving
them better prepared for the future.
There is still room for education to be
fun." Grannis said of his class, which will
be offered in the fall semester. "It is a class
that gives participants the chance to have
a real good time while still going to
school."

'Awake and Sing' won't put you to sleep
By Leo N. Holier
Daily Colteajan Staff Writer
You won\ sleep through this play.
"Awake and Sing!," Clifford Odet s
study of a Jewish family in New York City
during the Great Depression is too interesting and stirring to overlook. White its
pace is slow, it never becomes boring.
Odet's commentary about the problems
facing Americans during the 1930s makes
"Awake and Sing!" intriguing. The characters in the production are so complicated and lifelike that an audience soon
will find itself emotionally involved with
their story.
REVIEW
Produced by CSUF's drama department, "Awake and Sing!" is being put on
the John Wright Theatres stage under
director Phillip Walker's skillful hands.
Walker has carefully collaborated with
his cast and technicians to create an
atmosphere of teamwork. The coopera-
t ional effort produces near perfection and
an evening of unforgettable college stage
entertainment.
"Awake and Sing!" is no musical or
lightweight melodrama; it is a fine dramatic production.Odet has filled his written workwilth important events and memorable characters.
In "Awake and Sing!" there is a feeling
of uncertainty and disillusionment with
life. The Great Depression and World
War I have left scars on Americans aspirations. For the middle-class Berger family—and hundreds of families just like
them—there is only hope left.   .
Disillusionment is an intrical clement
within all of the characters.
Bessie Berger is stunned by the actions
of her family. Her daughter. Hennie, has
disappointed her mother and disgraced
her family by becoming pregnant out of
wedlock. »
Hennie losses her dream of becoming
well-to-do when she becomes pregnant
and is forced to marry Sam Feinachrciber.
a hard-working but poor immigrant.
Grandfather Jacob has been disillusioned by the'capitalist system. He is an
avid reader and believes in the Karl Marx
dream of socialism.
Ralph has been discouraged by his
mother's dream—a dream that relies on
his participation.
Moe Axelrod, t wounded veteran and
friend of the Berger family, discovers that
he can't possess the one thing he really
wants, Hennie.
The characters in "Awake and Sing!"
react humanly to problems they encounter. They behave the same way we would,
given similar circumstances.
Everyone can't be joyful all the time. In
life, we must /ace pain and disappointment as well as happy times. But many
playwrights don't take that into consideration and create characters who are exaggerations of real life.
Odet did not forget that people have a
myriad of emotional responses. In
"Awake and Sing!" he has created a
realistic portrait of an American family
during the Depression.
Walker has done a Tine job of casting
"Awake and Sing!" His ensemble is balanced and well-received.
Guest artist Michael Loring plays the
elderly grandfather, Jacob, magnificently.
Jacob is an interesting character to watch.
At a time when most elderly gentlemen
were looked upon for their wisdom, Jacob
is considered an old fool by some members of his family.
Jacob doesn't think much of the capitalistic democracy that runs the United
States. He believes in socialism and
Marx's ideology. His only regret is that he
is too old to put his ideals into action.
Jacob hopes that his grandson, Ralph,
will someday fulfill his dreams. Ralph is
the only member of the family who has
respect for the old man. He listens to his
grandfather and picks up advice on how
life should be lived.
Ralph is played by Darryl Simonian,
who gives an intense performance. Ralph
likes his grandfather's thinking and hopes
to live in his grandfather's dream world.
He prefen his grandfather's dream over
his mother's. Ralph's mother. Bessie.
knows that it takes money to get ahead in
the world and wants ber son to many into
wealth and not the poor, orphan, girl he
loves.
Bessie also wants Ralph to forget about
the foolish ideas Jacob has filled his head
with.
Marcia Morrison portrays Bessie as a
character who shows love for her family
through overbearing control. Morrison
conveys the idea that Bessie is not only the
mother but also the father in the family.
Myron. Bessie's husband and father of
Ralph and Hennie, is too easy going to be
considered the disciplinarian. Played by
Randal Stump, Myron is a born follower^
His 'biggest involvement comes from
being frequently caught in the middle
between Bessie and another member, of
the household.
Hennie, played by Leah Karr, lost her
chance to become well-off when she became pregnant, and is forced to many
Sam Feinschreiber or risk personal embarrassment.
Feinschreiber. Tom Ftske, is not guilty
of having a premarital affair with Hennie.
He married her not knowing that she was
pregnant with another man's child.
Family friend Moe Axelrod is played
by Thomas Hall. A fine performance is
given by Hall as the injured WW1 veteran.
He does a believable job, limping across
stage and discussing with hitter feelings
his experiences in the war. «.'
