Interest in the campus garden is an all-year-round enthusiasm of the club. With scissors, pins, paint brushes, and tools, guild members publicize the activities of other school organizations on special occasions through the medium of the large fourth- floor bulletin board, learn to make and operate puppets, and to construct designs to tool in leather for wallets and book covers. Teas and luncheons, as well as informal gatherings after meetings, add the proper tone to a colorful year. Upper left: Perky puppets dance as Joanne Brand, Jacqueline Ibison, Patricia Kane, Sylvia Bicego, Janet Flemming, Isabel Becker, Josephine Brons, Helen Peters, and Virginia Volini learn the art of operating them. Lower left: The assembly and decoration of the puppets retains the interest of Jacqueline Ibison, Joanne Brand, Josephine Brons, Patricia Kane, Janet Flemming, Helen Peters, Isabel Becker, Sylvia Bicego, and Virginia Volini.

Wa -Ly -Way ezicriyafion 0 rama The Blue Mantle Players broke ranks this year, dividing into senior and junior clubs. Discus- sions of current drama cmd presentations of original one-act plays were among the projects of the senior group. In early spring members of both divisions attended a performance of Ethel Barrymore's Joyous Season. The junior group, consisting of freshmen, sophomore, and junior dramatists, enjoyed St. Lazare's Pharmacy as an extra treat added to their work in pantomime and farce. Every holiday is a party excuse for these thespians. As Andre Hodgkinson arranges Mildred De Vic's hair, Mary Ann Mollohan, and Joan Howe are busy putting on her beard. Their objective is to turn Mildred into a convincing Santa Claus to distribute gifts. The art of applying stage make-up is a difficult one to attain, but these members of the Blue Mantle Players are now putting into practice some of the training they received during their previous years of dramatic art work. Al- though uncomfortable, a beard is still the best way of making an actor look old, wise, or dig- nified. These characters-Patricia Keane, Peggy Butler, Mary Jane Dispenza, and Cecilia Sigmund-look quite complacent now but a disturbing melodrama has predestined them for tragic deaths. A lovely princess' heart breaks because a lover has killed her father and then himself. Viewing all this with fortitude, the Queen Mother decides that, since everyone else is dead, she might as well die, too. The touching story which brought tears of laughter to the Junior Drama Club is one of several pre- sented by the group. PAGE 78
