Curtain going up! The house lights dim, the actress on the stage speaks her first line, and another Dramatic Club production is under way. How exciting it was to sit in the audience and watch Frances Rogers, President your roommate in her first role as a Queen Bess Player. You remembered the many nights when she returned late to the dorm after rehearsal in the auditorium. Maybe you sometimes got tired of reading her cues so that she could learn her lines. But under the magic spell of the foot- lights the words came alive again and you were very proud of her. Perhaps you were in the group that went on a “scay- enger hunt” for props, or made posters, or sold tickets, or helped with the costuming and makeup. On opening night you may have been stationed in the wings to give cues and moral support as well. Both actress and “stage hand” meet on common ground in Drama Club as apprentices and as members. During regular club meetings they learn to work together in staging brief dramatic programs. The climax of the year comes with two public productions by the club. How we laughed at the comedy, Arms and the Mam, by Bernard Shaw, and enjoyed the change of pace in the presentation of three act plays in the spring. If your roommate was one of the chosen few, you wondered (with her) how she could ever learn the Greek alphabet, which was just part of her initiation into Alpha Beta, Coket’s chapter of Alpha Psi Omega. However, it was great living with a “celebrity” for election to this national honorary dramatics fraternity is the highest at- tainment in Drama Club.

It also serves as meeting hall for the Music Club—the core of campus musical interests. Music Club mem- bers have an opportunity to gain experience in performing, to evaluate the musical ability of themselves and their fellow students, and to develop an appreciation of good music. Mem- bers of the club take an active part in campus music programs. At two open meetings during the year the Music Club sponsors visiting ar- tists of interest to the college and community.

On the night of initiation, new members wete surprised with a steak supper. After the first supper meeting, the Biology club de- veloped its program with slides, filmstrips, and books concerning nearly every phase of biol- cgy. Through these activities students were encouraged to keep up with discoveries in the scientific field.
