Each group had its own leader. Every member was required to serve in some capacity of the work. Our aim was to have a play contest,employing every Sage member, not only in acting, but also in stage settings, costuming, lighting, and ticket and program manage- ment. Witli this competition, the interest of everyone was aroused. In the contest were entered four one-act plays, The Far-Away Princess, by Sudermann, Habits, by Steward, The Valiant, by Hall and Middle- mass, and The Clodf' by Lewis Beach. Our regularly monthly meetings were given over to Work which would aid in the production of these plays. We were fortunate in having Mr. A. Smith, the dramatic critic of the Commercial Tri- bune, Mrs. E. Backus, with her interesting knowledge of costumes, and Mr. F. Byers, of the University of Cincinnati, speak to us at our meetings. From them we received many good suggestions which helped us to make our plays a success. Mr. John R. Froome, of the Dramatic Department of the College of Music, gave us his criticisms of the plays. With Miss Kruckemeyer as our leader, and with the cooperation of all the members, we feel that we have had a very successful and profitable year. EARNESTINE BACON, '28, Vice President.
