GETTING IN THE ACT-Director Wilbert Hunt shows Rita Vaughn and Pat Snyder just how their parts in Picnic should be interpreted. The Play Was a Picnic. SUCCESS of a dramatic production requires many weeks of preparation often not apparent to an audience. Once the cast has been chosen, it must spend long hours of reading and study to achieve the proper interpretation. More hours are spent memorizing lines, cues, action. Off stage, there are many tasks even less apparent to the audience and requiring a large crew to accomplish. Light cues must be learned during long rehearsals. Sets are hammered, sawed, and painted. Props must be gathered and costumes made and fitted. Publicity must be written, ad- vertising placed, ushers secured. In a very real sense, for the entire production staff opening night is a final examination. And while putting on a play is a lot of fun, no matter what the title of the play may be, it ' s no picnic.

1 i Bevy of Beauties PRETTY GIRLS and gorgeous floats are as much a part of homecoming as are football games and victory dances. We say it every year, but every year it seems true: the Gueen candidates were more beautiful than ever; the floats more breathtaking. Even the breakdown of the public address system during halftime activities this year failed to diminish universal satisfaction with the 1960 Homecoming. Marching Home PRES. NOBLE ROSE TO THE OCCASION. THE DAY BEGAN with a Pancake Breakfast in the Pit, with Old Grads much in evidence. Many stayed for the rally and the parade which followed, and of course some of the loveliest were guests of honor at the luncheon for past queens and present candidates. Before the game, former students gathere d for a coffee hour, and then proved vociferous rooters in the stadium. And many students were touched to discover alumni, wed as much as five years, or even longer, still holding hands and waltzing cheek to cheek at the Homecoming Dance on Saturday.

... But Not Those Exams! NOT EVERY STUDENT has the opportunity to work on a dramatic production, but every stu- dent does get an opportunity to take exami- nations. Hours are spent at the library and at home studying throughout the term. Books are checked out and long hours are spent taking notes. Yet a student finds himself doubling his study time as the exam period nears. The Quad and the Pit become quiet, nearly deserted, and it is the library or a spare classroom that are the gathering places now. The student enters the examination room on the fateful day, alter- nating between confidence and despair. Few moments are more dramatic than the second that he reaches for the examination questions that will tell him whether he boned up on the right topics, whether he will pass or fail. MUSCLE MAN - Andrea McMuririe, Bonnie Jones, a d Donna Wolanski appear to be admiring the physique of Owen Orr during Picnic rehearsals.
