Patricia Keane, Mary Ann Molloham Mildred DeVic, and Catherine Burns por- tray a scene from Pink and Patches which brought first honors to the drama depart- ment. ramafid fa WMLQ cihfifor Originality in putting one's self across the tootlights to an audience comes quite naturally to experienced members of the dramatic art department, while in- terpreting scenes from many modern and classic dramas is all in a year's work for lmmaculata's Juliets. Staging and producing plays, casting, designing scenery and costumes, creating just the right lighting effects are the techniques learned behind the scenes of Studio 407. Freshmen and sophomores, studying privately or in groups, stress voice, diction, and posture, especially, as they accustom them- selves to pantomime and comedia del arte. Junior dramatists, probing the myster- ies ofthe force of technique, this year displayed their achievements in the produc- tion of The Widow's Plight, an old-fashioned melodrammer. One year too old to be in lmmaculata's verse speaking choir, senior devotees of the dramatic Clio have nevertheless worn the sock and buskin with considerable distinction, not only in the Senior Play, a production of finished artistry, but also in Pink and Patches, whose compelling realism won the Loyola Academy's trophy - first prize in the All-Catholic One-Act Play Contest. Senior student coaches have given invaluable assistance in both these productions.

Beginning with art tun- damentals, the course continues with a study of poster-making, design and crafts, mechanical drawing, and still-life painting. Extra work, including unusual bulletin boards in line with current school activities, supplements the regu- larly scheduled courses for advanced students. One bright dash of color on the year's palette was the regional meeting of the Catholic Art Association held at The Immaculata in Novem- ber. With the annual exhibit of their work lining the studio corridor, art students climax each scholastic season.

Lower right: While Patricia Sargent constructs an F on the board, other mechanical drawing students do the same on their papers. They arc Mary Lou Lynch, Sarah Agassie, Mary Kathryn Keating, Patricia Attardo, Lillian Lila, Jean Schet- fler, Lois Schmidt, Betsy Gould, Nancy Callahan, Patsy Gould, and Marilyn Wendelkin. PAGE 62

ECAOQJ Strangers strolling on the fourth fioor may hear ci never-to-be-forgotten, nor repeated, concerto as each music studio contributes something to the cor- ridor-ensemble. Pianists are trained according to their previous development, and mellow organ notes respond to the hesitant fingers ot a beginner. Reeds, brasses, and strings, too, are not neglected in the overall musical pattern. A -1. PAGE 611
