M any hours of hard work have been attributed to the cd- vancement and iuiFiHment of numerous dramatic productions. The stage of De Pauwis Little Theatre might well be compared to Jonsorfs HweIl-trod stage, for it has indeed been a traFFic center this year. Among the plays that the past season has pro- duced have been uTo The Ladies , Stage Door , UCivilicn Ciothesu, and HWhy the Chimes Rang? The Field 0F drama extends its horizon beyond that of the Little Theater, for radio productions sent over the wires from the radio headquarters in Harrison Hall also Figure prominently. Regular broadcasts are planned and presented by students who thus broaden their scope of experience in production work. De Pauw students realizing the values to be Found in dramatic production enter enthusiastically into this work as actors, technicians, Script writers, prompters, make-up appliers, or construction crews contributing to the success that has been maintained in this Field.

LOOKING TOWARD CULTURE OF the Five religious organizations on campus which offer opportunity to those students interested in participating in religious activities, perhaps the largest is the Methodist Student Movement-which claims many interested and enthusiastic memEers of all religious sects. During the year MSM sponsors worthwhile active ities designed to help and guide the students;some of these projects included the Sunday attemccn vesper services, the college class in religion on Sunday mornings, Wednesday chcpel services, Sunday night Forums, and the meditation chapel open every day in Gchin Memorial Church. Another very active organization is the Council on Religious Lite, the Ponhellenic oF religious groups. To its meetings come college representatives From each religious denomination of Greencastle. Its members are responsible For planning the religious emphasis weeks held each spring and fall, at which time prominent speakers are brought to the campus. The Catholic Study Grcup every year plans many activities including Christmas pro- grams, a ccmmunion breakfast, and a reception at the First of the year For Freshmen students. The Religious Education Club is an interdenominotional group designed to study the techniques of rehgious education; and the Oxford Fellowship is de- signed to provide tellcwship for men preparing For the ministry. Art at De Pouw denotes more then a knowledge of Uhow to drown. It gives the student cu working knowledge of fundamentals in many phases of art. The student is shown the techniques of pointing, photography, window display, and interior decor- ations, as well as technical aspects involved in free-hond drawing, clay modeling, mechanical drafting, and oil painting. Included in o well- rounded art education, the history of art and its masters is also otterecl as a necessary step toward the goal of perfection.
