The campus organizations have been narrowed down, then to the Antioch Union, the American Society of Civil Engineers, Parliament, the Women's Athletic Association, the Music Department, the Players, and the publications-Am tioclzian, Blaze, A Boolg, and the Towers. These are the organizations which will be included in the following pages. There are, however, a few societies and associations about the campus to which we have not devoted space but which should have mention. Among these are Community Council, Student Loan Association, League for the Organization of Progress, and the Antioch Chapter of the League of Nations. I2Q

1 ix ANTIOCH PLAYERS Dvd, ITH Mr Basil H Pillard succeeding Mrs Putnam in V new era in the fall of 1929 Although Mrs ut L 'im-A' nam s place was a diflicult one to hll, Mr. Pil has done so with enthusiasm and ability. The Players have derived new life under his systematic organization. On December I3 an evening of one act plays was present- ed. They were Finders Keepers, by George Kellyg The Pearl of Dawn, by Holland Hudsong and A Wedding, by Iohn Kirkpatrick. The Pearl of Dawn called for ten scenes and sets in all the splendor of the East. Division B saw another evening of one act plays given by the Iunior Players on Ianuary 31, 1930. These were Antiques, by Claire Kummerg The Turtle Dove, by Margaret Scott Oliverg and The Old Lady Shows Her Medals, by Sir Iames M. Barrie. The high spot of the evening was the Barrie piece, one of the finest of one act plays. The March winds brought with them the first production of the Senior Players when The Thirteenth Chair by Bayard Veiller was presented on March 7. The second Senior production was Bernard Shaw's com- edy You Never Can Tell, on April II. Once again we listened to the sparkling wit and brilliant conversation of Mr. Shaw in one of his most pleasant comedies. On May 2, 1930, Mr. Pillard, in collaboration with The Players, presented a dance recital by Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman of New York. The year for The Players will close with the production of the annual commencement play in Iune. Il . . . the directorship, the Antioch Players entered on a n , , -, ' 4' . lug Ififfix W . .
