ATTer lasT year's raTher spoTTy comeback, The Team under The direcTion of our new coach, Colonel Reid, has well proved iTs worTh. The Council had planned To originaTe an all- sporTs dinner, buT, as iT seems now, ThaT idea will have To be leTT To nexT year's adminisTraTion. InsTead, The Council will devoTe The remaining Time To esTablishing a badly-needed consTiTuTion. ln pasT years, The Council has been seriously handicapped by This lack of regulaTions, and accordingly many unnecessary diTTiculTies have arisen. To correcT This malady, PresidenT Jim WhiTe and Chairman Parnell oT The consTiTuTion commiTTee expecT To presenT The new consTiTu- Tion beTore CommencemenT Day.

' .I IBA. 1948 .ibramaficzi A really big problem conTronTed Mr. O'Gor- man and Mrs. Wilson This year in reference To The dramaTic producTion which, as you know, is cusTomary aT Barnard. A new sTage had To be erecTed, compleTe wiTh a seT and props. The number one diT'Ficul'fy was solved by Joe RuTliing, who saw To iT ThaT The compleTe blue- prinT Tor The consTrucTion oT The plaTTorm was drawn up during The summer. Jerry Neben and Torn Barca Took care oT The wiring and worked righT along wiTh Joe and his crew and acTually slepT over aT The school because Time was run- ning ouT. The selecTion of The play was made by a group ThaT was well versed in The drama, and Their choice was George WashingTon SlepT Here, a comedy in Three acTs by Moss HarT and George S. Kaufman. CasTing began immediaTely and only Two ouT- siders were draTTed, Amy DempsTer, a Junior aT Columbia UniversiTy and Lois Wersba, a Field- sToniTe. The nighT of May 22nd arrived-The Time for The big show. The TransposiTion from a dirTy shack To a fairly decenT living room had To be made aT The beginning of The second acT and was a scenic miracle. One of The TunniesT parTs of The show occurred when a rock was Thrown Through a window and The sound oT breaking glass was noT heard Tor abouT five seconds laTer. Raymond, porTrayed by Ted Angelus, was a rioT and he really raised The roof wiTh some of his lines.
