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 ........

In addition to the annual concert presented in the college auditorium on April 17th by the entire Glee Club, consisting of sixty members, the 19314932 schedule included a short program over Station WLWL in January and on April 23rd a program over Station WOR. The January broadcast, a feature in the series of programs arranged by the College Council on Catholic Action, of which Good Counsel is an active member, was given by a group of thirty voices. Among the selections were Stephen Foster's popular Negro ballad, Carry Me 'Long, Nevin's Venetian Love Song, and the old English Folk Song, Mayday Dance. Miss Laetitia O'Neil,'33, played the piano accompaniment. During the year the many lovers of music, vocal and instrumental, took advantage of every opporf tunity to attend musical concerts both in White Plains and in New York City, and, owing to the proximity to the college of the Westchester County Center, these opportunities were frequent. GREGORIAN CHANT Under the direction of Professor Bogatto, and the zealous and inspiring leadership of Sister Mary Compassion, who is also the organist, the students have given considerable time to Gregorian Chant. To illustrate one of the many practical uses to which they have this year put the skill acquired in this branch of music, we quote extracts from the announcement in the St. Francis Xavier Church Bulletin for May: We are happy to announce that on Pentecost Sunday, May 15th, at 11 o'clock our choir will be augmented by the girls' choir of Good Counsel College, White Plains. The choir will sing the Gregorian Miss cum jubilo .......... Professor Bogatto, the leader of our choir and also professor of liturgical music at Good Counsel College is perhaps the foremost representative among the ardent disciples of Father Young, having been associated with him for some twenty years.
