The play was Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid, concerning an elderly hypochondriac, Argan, whose infatuation for his unfaith- ful wife is as disgusting as his love of medicine. However, since his wife is exposed by the maid. Toinette, everything turns out well. The production, under the excellent coaching of Mr. Truesdale and Mr. Huber, was very well acted. Following the play, the audience danced to the music of Eddie Hopkinson'S orchestra. We congratulate the coaches upon their able leadership in the past years and wish them greater success in the coming productions. 55
