This drama was written by Thornton Wilder who is well known on Broadway for his originality of expression. This play, unusual in its theme and more particularly in its stage properties, proved to be very successful. Nothing provides us with more enjoyable recreations than the theater, to be concrete the Madison theater. This is one source of amusement which not infrequently attracts

Peggy Sheehan had formerly attended Manhattanville college, New York, while Martha Buckley had transferred from Saint Elizabeth's, New Jersey. Grace Collins and Marian Hansen had both come from Russell Sage, Troy while Evelyn Lindsey had attended Saint Lawrence, and Frances Berta- lino had studied at Green Mountain College, Vermont. Naturally it took a while for us to become acquainted, but now we would find it equally difhcult to part from them. They joined co-operatively in the activities of the class, and have proved to be conscientiously responsive to extra-curricular activities. Their school spirit has also been noteworthy. We hope that they have enjoyed being with us this year and will continue to be with us for two more years, the two most glorious years of any girl's college life.

It is near the College, boasts of its double feature programs and is often appreciated for its reduced rates. By the time the pictures have reached this, our favorite rendezvous, we have had sufficient time to know the verdicts of the critics. The Madison theater has become an essential part of the environment of Saint Rose. Some of the students prefer swimming and horse-back riding to all other forms of amuse- ment. Encouraged by the eager participation of the students and well supported by the members of the sophomore class, these clubs reorganized this year under their new leaders. Besides swimming twice a week, some of the club members entered intra-mural contests for both speed and form. Among these activi- ties was a swimming pagaent, an original venture, in which those participating dis- played their ability for team work and perfect timing by forming various, unique aquatic designs. Before long, the Christmas spirit began to .-- I I I I I I I I I I I vt' . , - t -- .1 -L creep into the minds and hearts of our stu- dents. Contributions were brought for bas- kets, stockings were filled, toys were repaired and a Merry Christmas was wished to all. Our greetings to each other and to the mem- bers of the faculty were exchanged at the Christmas party, December twentieth. This year, the annual entertainment was sponsored by the members of the dramatic theory class which had been newly organized for the members of Shadows exclusively. The short drama and tableaux which they pre- sented were earnestly applauded by the audience. When Santa finished distributing the gifts, the students departed from college for the last time in the year nineteen hundred thirty-nine. 1105111716 in jarmary for j. IVilliams, M. Nestor, H.
