PHI ALPHA GAMMA HI ALPHA GAMMA is the classical club of Grand Rapids junior College. It meets once each month, usually at the home of Miss A. S. jones, although several enjoyable meetings have been held at the homes of various members. At these different meetings talks are given on classical subjects especially those on ancient Rome and Greece. On the other hand, an entirely different type of meeting is the social evening. One of these most enjoyable times was spent at the home of Miss A. S. jones during the Christmas holidays. Several alumnae were present at this social event. An important part of the Phi Alpha Gamma's program is the entertainment for all the language clubs of Grand Rapids high schools. The membership of the club is open to all those students interested in classical subjects who do not necessarily need a thorough know' ledge of Greek and Latin or either of the courses in Greek or Latin literature. As the name of-' the club implies- friends-of-affarawayfland -the object is to become acquainted with antique Greece and ancient Rome. One of the projects of the club for the coming spring is the reading of the Trojan Women by Euripides. Great interest has already been evinced in this powerful drama, and it is expected that the members of Phi Alpha Gamma will lind enjoyable time in its reading. The club this year has been very successful in a great measure because of the activity and fine spirit of Miss A. S. jones and of Miss A. Holt of Central High School.

DELTA SIGMA HE Delta Sigma Dramatic Society is one of the oldest organizations in Junior College, and in past years has held an enviable reputation regarding its part in college activities. The club' is formed for the purpose of furthering dramatics in Junior College, and as such, its achievements have always been of vital interest to the whole student body. This year the Delta Sigma lent its whole-hearted support to the 1928 opera-The Fire Prince, a successful production-and for this reason its own meetings were suspended during the time of the opera. As the opera started rehearsals very early in the year, and continued far into the spring, this meant that the Delta Sigma was given time for only a very few meetings. After opera, however, the society managed to attempt meetings every other Friday, and soon started work on the 1928 production, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry. Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, a good comedy by LeRoy Arnold, is planned for some time in May, and will be produced with the following cast: - Characters: Roger Hearing, Marian Lamb, Betty Luther, Eva Hesling, Dorothy Leonard, Tony Swarthout, Paul Showers, Horace Winchell, Meryl Bird. Electrician: George Matthews. Publicity: Eva Hesling, Betty Scoby. Tickets: Iane Weidgenant, Carol Wheeler, Dorothy Waltz, Harry Young, Berl Helms.

This is the second year that Junior Col- lege has ventured into light opera, and the Fire Prince was a worthy successor to the Mar- riage of Nannette, last year's production. As to setting and costuming, however, this year's opera was far superior. The Attic Artists, under the direction of Lumen Winter and Miss Eugenia Babcock, produced some of the most original and striking sets to be found in the city of Grand Rapids, and certainly some against which any amateur performance might be successfully backgrounded. These settings were extremely colorful and carried out the whole feeling of fantasy and playfulness in the opera itself. 'The costumes. designed also by the art department, made a harmonious part of the scenic composition, and were admirably suited to the effect of the whole. The musicians of the opera were well trained and gave their best. Acting was capably performed under the direction of Mrs. George Wolfeg and the dancing choruses, seen in three numbers, under the instruction of Miss Ruth Dunbar. Lighting effects and stage carpentry were due to the efforts of the engineers, under the guidance of joel Iannenga. Costuming was directed by Helen Gross. To Mr. Karl Wecker, the director and promoter of the whole opera idea in junior College, more honor is due than can easily be expressed. He is responsible for the junior College orchestra, a flourishing organizationg and now he has brought the Opera tradition to Iunior College-a tradition which is all'college in its scope, and farfreaching in its effects.
