wa VF Sf If lla ma. Dramatics The past year proved to be a most successful year in the field of dramatics. So rapid has been the growth of interest in the Dramatic Society that this year it can boast of several successful per' formances. The Society's first opportunity to show its rapid development came on December 8, the Feast of The Immaculate Conception and the anniversary of the Council of Ephesus. On that day the mem' bers of the faculty and the students had the pleasure of attending a celebration in commemoration of The Council of Ephesus. The performance consisted of an interesting account of The Council of Ephesus, a number of beautiful tableaus and selections. The success of the celebration spurred the society on to greater endeavors, and it was not long before it came to the front again. This time the play was entitled The Upper Room and was given by the members of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was staged shortly before the Easter holidays, and was ref ceived with much enthusiasm. Shortly after this the Sophomore class demonstrated their talent by presenting The Modernized Merchant of Venice for the beneht of the missions. The Society's last and most successful performance was the presentation of the annual drama. This year the college gave a colonial play, Hearts of Gold, True and Tried in commemoration of the George Washington Bicentennial. The program follows: Madame Carter ........
