There was still a warm spot in the community ' s heart for the Players and the Handel Society. Warner Bentley, Walter Roach, Henry Williams and George Schoenhut led the excellent pro- ductions on the Robinson Hall stage. (Athalia. Xatwral Magic, The Glass Menagerie, and Jwno and the Paycoch) were the more serious efforts. Yoii Can ' t Take It With You was foremost among the excellent funny stuff. Bob Rooney and Alan Tarr stood out in the year ' s productions, and John Wulp did a fine job in scenery design. The fraternity play contest was a bright spot in the year for the organizations of brotherhood. Professor Kvam led excellent productions of Handel ' s Messiah and Haydn ' s Creation. Both utilized choruses of almost one hundred soloists and the Handel orchestra. The orchestra pre- sented notable concerts of concertos and symphonies. Chamber music flourished with the excellent talents of Lydia Hoffman-Behrendt, Nathan Gottschalk, Professor Kvam and Professor Sherrard. The Glee Club continued its jolly, unimaginative, expendable routine. Most of its perform- ances were outside of Hanover. Its greatest service to the comnmnity was its repertoire of the college songs. The Band was a colorful asset to football afternoons and to the Commencement Week. In between it slept.

The addition to Wilder Physics building was large- ly completed. Thayer School, recently ex- panded into mechanical, electrical, and business engineering, held a flashy open house to show its machines to the public. The Medical School could admit only a small fraction of its appli- cants. Tuck School was packed as students continued their attempt to serve part of their business apprentice period in the pleasant sur- roundings of Hanover.
