MAY, prepare for a half-hour concert at nine o'clock in the auditorium of the Pitts- burgh Athletic Association. Music of a lighter character was pro- vided by The Roamers of KDKA, two of whose members are Dave and Kip Behrhorst, both Alleghenians. A short business meeting followed the dinner, with Robert E. Piper, '25, presiding.. The nominating committee, consisting of Mrs. Lillian H. Miller, '08, Ralph Demmler, '25, and E. Alex- ander Hill, '26, presentedtheir recom- mendations for officers of the Club during the coming year, as follows: President, Raymond D. Evans, ex-'14p Vice President, Mary Louise Murphy, '26g and Secretary-Treasurer, David Behrhorst, '28, These officers were elected. After the business session, the mas- ter of ceremonies, Gerald D. Prather, '23, was introduced. Mr. Prather in turn introduced the two speakers of the evening. Dr. I. M. Versteeg, pas- tor of the South Avenue M. E. Church of Pittsburgh, spoke first.

THE ALLEGHENY SINGERS The Allegheny Singers returned to Meadville late Sunday night, April 10, from their second Annual Spring Tour of the Pittsburgh district. It is gen- erally agreed that this trip was even more successful than last year's. A great deal of credit for efficient man- agement of business details goes to Mr. Paul H. Younger, '31, who is act- ing as Business Manager of the chorus and accompanies them on their trips this spring. Forty-five college stu- dents, men and women, plus Prgfgssgr. Luvaas, director, Mr. Younger, Man- ager, and Miss French, chaperone, made the trip. During the eight days The Singers presented twenty-four concerts,-eight in churches, twelve in high schools, two before radio microphones, one at the Pittsburgh Alumni Club Dinner, and one for members of the Pittsburgh Athletic Association.

ALICE SPALDING Department of Speech Drama at Allegheny The Alice Huntington Spalding Theater, which is undoubtedly the foremost cultural achievement in Allegheny, is not only a striking novelty offered by generous donors, but more, a culmination of a spirit which has existed for years and which has evolved by means of the relentless determination and the earnest labors of our imaginative and colorful head of the Department of Speech, along with her many students and co- laborers in the field of dramatics. The Play Production Department has been greatly assisted by Francis Asbury Arter, President Beebe, Louis Magaziner, and the trustees for whose contributions all Allegheny is most grateful. Since the organization of Duzer Du in 1909 and its sister organization, Klee-O-Kleet, dramatics have passed from the stage of the Academy Theater, where the first play was produced, from the crowded, unequipped, third Hoor plant of Bentley Hall to the little gem of a theater in Arter Hall. Throughout the whole world during the last century, dramatics has passed from a crude work carried on by playwrights, stagehands, and actors to a real art made possible by the entrance of the mechanical, electrical, literary and artistic forces, all of which, incorporated, aim to create a beautiful, living picture. Allegheny, too, has endeavored to make its drama a finer art, and due to the new equip- ment and the contributions of the following, it has succeeded far beyond the expecta- tions of all. MISf MR.
