At this the cast would chuckle light-heartedly. As the response for more scripts was rather poor. the little man in the red jumper wrote the other twenty himself. They couldn't have been better. One week before the revue even greater numbers ot students were asking. "What's all this about a revue" Most of the cast had suffered their third very nervous breakdown. Sue Guest and Sylvia Thomas. bitterly disillusioned, on the verge of f heir tenth. and tickets sellers wer e now confirmed pessimists , Nevertheless some remained undaunted. Bob had found space for all £3 .500·s worth of sound and was only mildly worried about numerous earth loops and mysterious hums, unmatched impedances. etc, Sixteen miles of telephone cable had been successfully sorted out by Wayne Eifermann whose sole concern was that the telephones still didn't work. Graham Andrews at last found at which switch to operate the lights and Tony Wilson was managing the stage very efficiently. The show ran for three nights and everyone was happy. The revue party was a mild success and a convoy of a number of cars, augmented occa sionally by persons unknown made its way to an inconspicuous country retreat. (T h e location of which was a dark secret known only to a select few.) After all the lollies and hundreds and thousands had been consumed a recital was then given by that well -known baritone. Mr. G. A. Richards, who entertained us with some delightful folks ongs of th e Nunawading Plateau and East Carlton. To quote: "What a lovely party". B.'P. REVUE COMMITTEE Back row , L.

THE DENTIST'S WAITING ROOM Having con fessed to Mother that th e filling h as fallen from my teeth a nd m y tonglle has developed a tender sp ot from probing at th e cavity, with all the reluctance of Shakesp eare's schoolboy, I walk through the outer office, read the notice which sa ys " Please en ter and wait", a nd pass to the dentist 's waiting roo m beyond. Altho ug h it is a lrea dy tim e for m y appointment there a re three people wai ting; the business-man, the painter, and the housewi fe, Patients they a rc and patient they must be, Tillie pas ses; th e bu siness-man con sults with increasi ng regularity the watch a t the end of th e gold chain which spans his bro ad ex pa nse of waist coat. H is eve ry act ion seem s to sa y, "Th is wo u ld no t be good enough for m y cl ients; ser vice I give and ser vice I exp ect", The p ainter , nursin g his jaw, feel s more akin to th e h ou sewife and th ey console each o ther; he tell s her of th e difficulty of ge tting ju st half an hour off from work for his urgent treat ment and sh e, with broken dentures in her hand, mumbles, "I do hope Johnny is bein g good for Mr s. Next-Do or . I sa id I would be only half an hou r", Time ticks on ; the business-man thinks of the clien t whose valued custom he must by now have lost; the painter, of hi s depleted pay envelope; and t he wom an hears, in her imaginati on, " W h at, 6 o 'clock and still no tea!" I choose a magazine from a disarranged pile on th e r icke ty wick er table. The single, incandescent globe aw ay up near the ceiling gives a poor l~ght , ,but this does not matter because the magazme IS too old to be of any real interest to anyone except, perhaps, an anuquary. Maybe m y dentist is in cohort s with t he op t!cia n d own th e street a nd ref er s to him those p at Len ts who corn plain of lack of light. Perhaps my d entist is not on bu sin ess terms with th e n ewsagen t up the street. From the mag azin es my e ye strays to the wa ll o pposite. T h ere hangs his licen ce to p ractise, I cannot hel p wondering if th at is there beca use hi s wif e will not let him place it o ver their m antel p iece, or whether he has hung it so promine ntly to conv ince those patients he has previously treated tha.t he is re ~ll y qualified . T!len th~ re is th e notice which says , 111 effect , that immediate pa yment is requi red. How professional practice h as ch anged! I am sure that in grandfather's day such a notice would have breach ed professional etiquette. La stl y th e re is th e long, typed advice about scho olchi ld r en's a p po intme n ts, 1 read it in the faint hop e th at m other ha s sent m e by m istake a nd that I may escape to the footba ll field, but a little thought precludes a hast y retreat, for I have an appointment and unkept appointments are charg e able. From the surgery there is a sound, but not of rev elry. A patient, his mouth distended by a cotton pad, is assisted to the remaining vacant ch ai r where he sit s to compose himself, T he business. man enters the su rge ry ; the painter looks close lv at the p revious pa tient; his fac e pales and becom es barely distinguishable from hi s white overall s; the housewife looks at her watch and agai n hearing the voice demanding tea, clutches her dentures and d ep arts. I sit and wa it and resolve to write a book on h ow to ar range appointments; after all, I will have pl enty of time to write it as I sit in the dentist's waiting room. 18
