Its purpose is to provide a workshop theater for all students interested in the study and production of drama and all things pertinent to the stage. The fall production of Rose Francken ' s Another Language was highly successful. Florence Porter aptly interpreted the difficult role of ' Stella ' with Austin Hay playing the part of her nephew ' Jerry ' and Gil Van Nortwick acting as her husband ' Victor ' . Robert Dike deftly directed the production of this play with the assistance of Lois Devereaux and Nathalie Rhoden. The second offering of the season was the three act comedy of Franz Molnar, The Guardsman, which was directed by Mrs. Harold Gleason. In this play Arthur Kufel played the role of the Critic, Florence Porter gave an excellent characterization of the Actress, and the part of the Actor was portrayed by Frank Hruby. Dr. Mar j arum and Mr. Dingwell acted as faculty advisers during the year, and Mr. C. J. Hall aided in the preparation of the scenery. [ 83 ]

Activities The Student Association of the Eastman School of Music is a governing body composed of four elected members and officers and representatives from the various classes and other student organizations. The primary policy of the Association is to govern the social func¬ tions of the school and to assist organizations in their various activities. As its first public activity the organization gave an old-fashioned theatre party com¬ plete with silent films and a pit orchestra. In December the Student Association sponsored a pre-vacation dance following the Q Club production of Another Language. Another dance was given just before the Easter holidays. The last item on the program of social events was the annual Coburg boat trip. [ 85 ]
