DRAMATICS George Bernard Shaw’s drama “Candida” was chosen by the class of nineteen twenty-eight as the senior class play. It was presented as a part of the commencement program with Miss Audrey Whipple playing the title role. This year it is hoped that the senior class play can be presented on the new stage which is being constructed during the rebuilding of the chapel. Not only is the stage being greatly enlarged, but other equipment is being added which will facilitate play production. Modern electric equipment, several stage settings, and a purple velvet drop curtain decorated with a silver “W have already been purchased by the college. “Icebound,” a Pulitzer prize play, by Owen Davis, has been selected as the commencement play and play rehearsals are in full swing. “The Lion and the Mouse by Klein was presented by Alpha Psi Omega early in December. While probably one of the most dramatic productions attempted by the s|K-ech department, it was exceptionally well presented. It is a drama of a powerful man who loses to a girl, the sweetheart of his son. Mr. Lee, Miss Bair and Mr. Turner played these roles with a convincing realism which marks the whole presentation. This play was also given to audiences in Burlington and Donnclson. Because of the extensive forensic program and the lack of a stage the latter part of the year, no other plays were attempted. The year 1929-1930 will probably be one full of excellent dramatic productions. Page 15S
