By looking at these tired usherettes, Barbara Allen, and Annette Thibault, one can easily estimate how big the Spring Concert crowd was. Here is the concert band around the time of the presentation of the Music Department's Christmas Program. The band's most notable number at that program was Yule Tidings March, a medley of Christmas favorites. The band was also heard at the Fair where they presented a concert for fairgoers. ln March, they favored the Spring Concert audience with such numbers as Ritual Fire Dance, Aurora Overture, and Band Sonata. ln the far left-hand part of the picture you can see their director, Donald Schofield. crowd is Philip Carrasco and Margaret McCallister take a little stroll through the park. The Spring Concert entertained by Jim Douglas, Pat Becker, Frank Gillespie, and Jerry Callis, while Jim Hagerty tickles the ivories. PAGE 52

Act well your part . . . therein all the honor lies. Upholding this, their motto, the C.V. Thespians have successfully completed another active year under the sponsorship of Miss Elaine Buttrud. To start things off with a bang, an informal initiation was held at the Norris Ranch last fall. A theater party at the production of Green Valley was the first event the new members enjoyed. Then in December when the Junior Class Play made more actors eligible for membership in the Nat- ional Thespian Society, a formal initiation for twenty members was held at Rancho Carrillo on December 13. Mary McLaughlin entertained the group with a variety of monologues. Next on the agenda was the fifth annual Thes- pian One-Act Play Festival, which was presented on January 8. Three one-act plays were dramatized, fl KR including: A Young Man's Fancy, The Case of the ll Weird Sisters, and The Castle of Mr. Simpson. The A 5 weird sisters will long be remembered for their eerie ij hallucinations, , N j The Happy Time was chosen by the Thespians V l ' jq for their second theater party of the year, so they 5 traveled to the Palm Springs Playhouse, which is a 5 theater-in-the-round, to see it. It was especially in- teresting to them because the same technique of act- ing was used as that to be used in C.V.'s new patio playhouse. The Thespians were eager and anxious to make use of this new patio theater, and many plans for production were budding as the second semester rolled around. During the spring quarter the Thespians attended a Shakespearean play at the Pasadena Playhouse and also saw the Ramona Play. The year ended with a party in honor of the graduating Thespians.
