EMOS YN is With the aim to put out a rcally dis- tinctive MNEMOSYNE, the H143 staff l1HS worked from the Hrst of the year taking pictures of everything-fto show H. C. as it actually is. lnformality has been the key word-in pictures, write-ups, and com- position. John Regier deserves praise for the pictures in the year-book and the job of getting time and person together. Co-business Managers, Dale Pence and Virginia Williams, found that money talks in financing the book. The art editor, Catherine Nell, made and arranged the sketches for the division pages of off-set printing. Helen Cave and Don Williams, respect- ively, edited the organization and class 27 writc-ups, giving credit whcrc credit is duc. Sports were ably handled by Fernc Brindle and Winston Becker, who recorded the victories of the Foresters on the hard- wood. The interesting back section, better known as the Calendar was compiled by Alice Nell, who served also as general aide to the Editor, and Frank Engle. Roger Birdsall, Riva June Williams, Isabelle Tabb, and Leslie Dissette took care of This and That -which, by the way, is a good deal. For what is left in making a year-book, credit goes to the Editor, Sarah Bangs, as- sisted by Dr. Demaray, the Faculty Advisor, and the many others for giving excellent suggestions.

Campus Playhouse Activities A big year for dramatics on the H. C. campus was initiated with the birth of a new organization-the Campus Playhouse. Chartered and organized by the be- ginning of the second semester, it soon became the largest and peppiest club on the campus. Poise and personality were developed before the eyes of fellow stu- dents: the motto of Huntington College was spread abroad: and dramatic art be- came the aspiration of every true member --for these were the purposes for which the Campus Playhouse was originated. Membership is open to all classes meet- ing the scholastic requirements set forth in thc constitution. The officers are chos- en at the beginning of the fall term and elected from among those holding senior membership. Meetings were held bi-weekly on Mon- day at 8:00 p. m. in the auditorium. lm- promptus, pantomimes, speeches, readings, dialogues, and short plays were presented and criticized. Guest speakers long famil- iar with dramatic art presented important factors in giving productions such as make- up, costumes, etc. The intention of the organization is to give one large production and several small ones a year. Palette Guild Activities All students taking art, auditing or otherwise, are automatically members . . . Students this year have -executed term- projects, consequently the variety of soup to nuts, and sometimes a literal execution fas you, no doubt, have observed., For example, one's propect is the Concour skit, and another does soap carv- ing, looks like him, too . . . Term papers of a thesis-or-have-ascertained type. By one member of the class pottery is made from clay mined from our own campus . . . Wood carvers do everything from breaking the tools to' rendering superlative replicas of colonial gentlemen. Concours are hung periodically in our gallery-studio upstairs . . . in case we are waiting for the arrival of a-er-a curtain, outstanding shows are featured each month, such as-january, reproduction of old masterpiecesg February, reproductions from the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D. C.: March, one hundred prints by fa- mous Americans-etchings, engravings, lith- ographs, etc.: April, such gallery showings as the Andrew Mellon Collection, National 29 Gallery of Art hung by individual students in Art Appreciation. Stimultaneously, the first Annual Pal- ette Guild Concour is held-an exhibition of term projects, arts and crafts, including- etchings, wash drawings, wet wash water colors, dry methlod water colors, finger painting, woodcuts, pen and ink line ren- derings, gouache, oils, etc .... Also dem- onstrations of Art-in-the-Home endeavors, including table arrangements, mantle groups, etc .... During this Concour stu- dents present, during assigned periods, gal- lery talks for the pleasure of visitors . . . Regular concours are student juried . . . And so on into the night. . . . Art students, because so many inter- esting tasks eminate from everywhere- fbluebirds, shields, valentines, B. B. signs, shamrocks, Latin pamphlet covers, diplo- mas-Ol, and about 20 morel, receive awards registering the number of outside endeavors, which are varied each year of the four. E The art guild has also been accepted as a member of the college Art Associa- tion of America this year.
