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.
