ullaugliters of Atreusn Daughters of Atreus, a play con- cerning the fate of the house of Atreus, was presented by Robert Turney from the viewpoint of the women. The play was a truly student production, managed, directed, and acted by students. One of the more difficult plays attempted by Masquers. it went oit smoothly and left a powerful impression on the audience. Original costurning by Wendell Iosal was a new feature of college productions, as costumes were formerly rented. nlourney to lerusalemn Journey to Ierusalem by Maxwell Anderson launched the Iamestown Col- lege's 1941 drama season. The religious theme of the play was made more sig- nificant by its presentation just before Christmas. Maxwell Anderson's vigorous and intense play was excellently acted, and was unique in that the boy Ieshua's part was taken by a girl-Marjorie Thompson.

DEAN C. VIN WHITE SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS Last fall the first formal event of the year took place in the Y W Room, where all the girls gathered near the arbor of roses in their pastels, which swept along and mingled together. With poetry and music as the backgound, the freshman, as the rose bud. tells oi her ambitions for college and for lite: the sophomore, as the halt-blown rose, tells of what already she has ac- complished, while the senior girl tells of what she has done and what she hopes will lie ahead for her. A faculty advisor then gives ideals toward which to work and advice concerning how to attain them. The Rose Garden theme suggested itself from the arbor which stands near the front entrance of the college. One of the things which occured during this year which will not be forgotten soon is the annual Spiritual Emphasis Week, because of the guest speaker who lived for a week in Watson Hall, Dean Vin White from Dubuque Theological Seminary. The chapel was wide awake enough for his talks, and his time was crowded to the extreme with individual conferences. The Friday of his leaving, after the entire February week had been spent in anchoring thoughts of many students on a sound basis, he was so crowded with people who still wished to see him that during chapel, early that morning, he requested they bring him their problems written out so he would be able to get down to the point quickly. His popularity here could not be questioned, there were few who did not gain something of value from him, and all had to agree that he had been a lively thinking, force- fully speaking man.
