t) oP.4 • • • p-f coo ' at With the founding of the Forum this year, the problem of the type of material to be printed was solved. The Calliope has become a literary magazine, featuring short stories, poetry, and art letters to the editor, reviews, and news articles were left for the Forum. Calliope made several changes this year, mainly with regard to the type of material printed. Trying to escape from the abundance of poetry on such light subjects as weather and flowers, the Calliope staff printed more pieces on adolescent psychology ' and carnal devastation. In addition, individual drawings besides illustrations were encouraged. The old tradition of translations from French was continued. Innovations on stafiF requirements were also made. Members were expected to contribute to the magazine at least once a month, and to par- ticipate in literary discussions held during the meetings. Calliope has been a stimulating experience to its editors, whose hope is that it was equally enjoyable to its readers. Special thanks are due Miss Atwood, Calliope ' s Advisor, who lent her critical judgment to the magazine. The StafiF hopes that Calliope will continually improve in all areas, that evenmally every student will write for the magazine, and above all that Calliope will instill a lasting interest in creative writing in the students. 77

All prospective literary work for Calliope must pass through a board of editors, who are sometimes envisioned ploughing through huge piles of short stories and poems in the late hours of the night in the hallowed halls of Dwight, filled with young intellectuals, discussing the works of esoteric writers, including their own. This impression is false; the piles are small. That the magazine and the student body are generally alienated is a problem which the editors tried to rectify. The image of Calliope as a pub- Ication of incomprehensible works addressed to a small elite was discarded. The editors tried to com- bine representative work of the students, thus appealing to a larger majority, yet tried to main- tain a high quality of material, thus satisfying edi- torial standards. 76

' I ' HE opening of the new auditorium with its fine facilities gave the Dramatics Club a new and more stimulating program this year. Prior to the opening of the new building the Dramatics Club presented Ladies in Retirement under the direction of Mrs. Thomas J. Robinson. The play was a success financially and provided an enriching experience for all those involved. An- other invaluable experience for all girls was the annual Christmas Pageant. Club members partici- pated whole-heartedly in costuming, make-up and staging. Instead of one workshop in the spring, this year Dramatics Club gave two, a one-act play entitled The Idols and a scene from Mary, Queen of Scots.
