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.
