... 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.

Well, maybe one is letting his eye wander a bit. Resting them, no doubt.

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.

Twas a Merry EVERYBODY LOVES CHRISTMAS, and it is a particular jolly time at City College. Campus activities reflect both its secular and its re- ligious implications. The traditional assembly program sets the mood through music and dance, then students adjourn to the Pit where language classes sing yuletide music of other lands. Santa Claus comes, too, with his lis- some little helpers. Still later, of course, comes that romantic Christmas dance in the Mission Inn. The Music Room was pleasant, but the weather was balmy this year, and many couples found the lovely gardens of the Inn an ideal place for a hand-in-hand stroll in the baimy night air. LOOK WHO ' S HEREI-While S. Claus (actually, R. Hor- ton) looks on nonchalantly from the doorway, pompon girls Annette Wahlin and Sandra Mansfield do a yule- tide routine in the Pit. CAROLERS-Language students sing a joyful Noel.
