paaffe gui! BANQUET DEcoRATioNS AND POSTERS CREATED Art work on the campus is generally referred to the Palette Guild whose members prove to be very versatile in producing the variety of work requested throughout the year. All art students automatically become members ot the Palette Guild and are put to work on some project that has been accepted by the group. The ability of some ot the members at the group has been demonstrated in the posters created tor the athletic department and tor the Junior class tor their penny suppers. You will remember the beautiful replica of a stained glass window which was used in the Christmas Program as a background tar the choir. As always, the Palette Guild was responsible for the delighttul decorations at the annual Wash- ington Banquet, they also were helptul in creating the decorations tor the Thanksgiving Banquet earlier in the year. lt you have had time to drop into the art room sometime during the year, you may have observed that considerable change has been made in its arrangement, Under the lead- ership ot its otticers, President Rose Norton, Vice-President Evan Towne, and Secretary-Trea- surer Rose Ann McMurray llst semester? and Mary Miller l2nd semesterl along with their interested faculty adviser, Mrs. Frances Hudson, the Guild took upon themselves the pri- mary task ot redecorating the art room.

The reporters learn that one has to be definite in writing, searching for the exact word to express the fine shade of meaning. Meeting a deadline reveals the necessity of being on time. Interviews and contacts to seek information give experience in meeting people. Sales- manship, collections, and balancing a budget are some of the experiences of those on the business staff, Technical terms become real as the staff shuffles with the galley proofs, revises, dummy, make-up, lock-up, press proofs, picas, cuts, sheet, and printer's pi.

afllldbld pKagA0lfLJ8 PLAYS PRESENTED FOR GUIDANCE PROGRAMS Campus Playhouse has been busy this year serving not only the college, but clubs, schools, and organizations who were in need of program material. They organized early in the fall electing Betty Becker, president, LaVern Smith, vice-president, and Wilma Bussard, secretary-treasurer. Mrs, Wilberta Edgington accepted the task of guiding this active group through the year as faculty adviser. As a part of the collegiate-high school guidance program of the college, three one-act plays, Dear Lady, Be Brave , Cracked Ice , and The Tarnished Withersooonsu, were pre- sented in assembly programs in schools throughout the tri-state area. Working with the A Cappella Choir to present the annual Christmas program, the group turned its attention to a thought provoking one-act drama, No Room in the Hotel , which placed the events of the Christmas story in a modern setting. As spring-time once again beautified our campus, the Playhouse reached the zenith ot its year's activity in the production of a three-act comedy-drama. It is the outstanding ex- pression of dramatic art by students on the campus. Through association with this organization, members may develop understanding and ability in the techniques and procedures of directing amateur performances for church, school, or community activities. 29
