President: BARBARA WOOLARD Vice-President: MARY RUTH SHELTON Secretary-Treasurer: RALPH A. EDWARDS Sigma Tau Delta is in its sixth year on Mc- Kendree ' s Campus. The meetings are helpful, for through them we learn to read and evaluate current literary productions. During the first semester, four members were pledged to our fraternity. They are Mary Eliza- beth Presley, Flossine Rule, Barbara Boggess, and Bonnye Broadus. Early in the second semester, the members of our society attended the production of Noel Coward ' s play, Blithe Spirit, at the American Theater in St. Louis. A poem by Mary Ruth Shelton, Evensong, appeared in our national magazine, The Rectangle, for Winter, 1941. The fraternity met this spring at the home cf Dr. West for an out-of-door picnic supper.

The dramatic fraternity has followed a very interesting and helpful program this year. At each monthly meeting two or three current plays were discussed. Meetings were held at the homes of Miss Alleen Wilson, and of Professor and Mrs. Harold Hertenstein. A trip to the American Theater to see The Doctor ' s Dilemna during the first semester was a highlight of the season. Two initiations were held during the year. A successful season was climaxed by a banquet in St. Louis. Director: ROBERT HERMAN Stage Manager: MARION KLEINSCHMIDT Business Manager: JAMES OPPITZ Faculty Sponsor: MISS CORA MARIE THOMAS

It is the purpose of our fraternity to uphold a worthy standard of religion, service and brotherhood in the lives of our student ministers. Devotional programs were presented on each Monday afternoon. Our Witnessing Band, which is a continuation of the Gospel Teams, appeared in many southern Illinois churches. A trip to St. Louis to visit important churches and social service organizations was helpful in broad- ening our outlook. The members enjoyed a banquet as a fitting climax to a profitable year.
