BECKERLOGUE ew?-1+ An innovation, a Wienie Roast, next held our attention. This affair was spon- sored by the State Clubs. Edward Ryan acted as chairman. Plenty of bicarbonate of soda was in evidence after the feast. Class debates were the rage in the Investments and Salesmanship classes, and brought forth many interesting and unusual discussions. Our first Snow Frolic took place at Green Hill Park amid a delightful setting of a light snow fall and snow-covered hills. After we had enough frolicking, we trooped up to the Mansion House to enjoy refreshments and dancing. The Yearbook Staff was chosen and committees were picked to select a class ring, class colors. and motto. We began to realize that graduation time was fast approaching. Committees named were: Class Ring: William Gregg, Chairman, Philip Ferris, James Wynne, Leland Perry, Samuel Belluardo, Marie Stevens, Phyllis Metcalf, Dorothy Kelliher, Alice Curroll, Douglas Carr, Dorothy Milner and Herman Masuzzo, Senior Prom: Samuel Belluardo and Arthur Willard, Co-chairmen, Marie Stevens, Rachel Laplante, James O,Neill, Henry Biron, Nellie foski, and Dorothy Kelliherg Class Day Gutingz Raymond Ciprotti, Chairman, William Lynn, Robert Tuttle, Edwin Shaw, Francis McCann, Robert Jones, Elizabeth Davis, June Boyle and Agnes Rock, Class Colors: Viola Miander, Chairman, Margaret Christie, Frances Conehieri, Ralph Hill, Charles Caton, and E. Howard Plante, Class Motto: Donald Leathers, Chairman, Edward Kozlowski, James Rosi, Elmer Bergman, Ruth Yule, and Rosetta Tucker. Mr. Harold Tipping, the General Electric representative, visited the college and interviewed a group of students relative to possible employment at the ollice in Schenectady. Harold Hunt had the distinction of being the Hrst of the Seniors to take the fatal step, when he married Miss Eva Sanborn. Our basketball coach, ,lack Shea, was added to the faculty as an instructor in Law. On March 17, the two sororities put on a Shipwreck Dance at Town House. It proved to be one of the social highlights of the year. We missed the pleasant smile and radiant personality of Frances Conchieri, who accepted a position early in the Spring. Mr. Hawkes had a birthday. A t1'ack team was started and also a Riding club. The last activities were the Senior Outing and Prom. With Commencement falls the curtain on two years of preparation-years in which welve had our ups and downs, our defeats and triumphs, and in all cases, by cooperative effort, we've come through with flying colors. lt is with a feeling of deep regret that we bid adieu lo Becker College.

B-ECKERLOGUE Hattie SENIOR PLAY THE Senior Play is one of the two high spots of the year fthe other, the Senior Promj. The 1938 vehicle, The Royal Familyf' was a comedy depicting the tribulations of a theatrical family, the Cavendishes. A hard working cast, coached by Mr. Evans, presented it at Tuckerman Hall on the evening of January 14. Doris Schedin did a good job with the part of Fanny Cavendish, a hardy old trouper ready to retire in years but not in spirit. The dilhcult role of her daughter, Julia Cavendish, was capably undertaken by Mary Lynch. Tony Cavendish, younger brother and family black sheep, was briskly done by Emanuel Providakes. Sharing top honors with Doris Schedin was Eleanor Mahoney in the role of Gwen, Juliais daughter. She was ably seconded by Robert Tuttle as Perry Stewart. The Deans, Herbert and Kitty, a pair of somewhat down-at-the-heel in-laws, were convincingly portrayed by James O'Neill and Agnes Rock. A minor role accurately and sympathetically handled by Leon Margosian was that of Oscar Wolfe, de- pendable friend and manager. Walter' Leach, ,39, played Gilbert Marshall, Julia's long absent lover. Dorothy Ostergaard and Joseph Sakaitis worked effectively as an interesting pair of servants, and James Macaione strutted about as McDermott, Juliaas trainer. Frank Scott was a convincing chauffeur and Dorothy Kelliher an effective nurse, Nick Dremluk and Kelsey Marr black-faced a pair of East Indian servants. All in all, the most difiicult play ever attempted by a Becker cast, a sophisti- cated comedy of manners that took the best acting of the Barrymore family. For the Becker troupers, a gallant assault and a creditable victory. Seventy-five
