MASQUERS Most responsible for dramatic activities on the campus are the members of Masquers, who strive to keep alive a love for self-expression. Directed by the versatile and inspirational Mrs. I , this group manages to have at its various meetings readings from current Broadway plays, reports from summer theatre goers, a spring picnic when everybody, rain or shine, fries his or her hamburger close to nature fTake it the way you want itl, and also a turkey dinner. This latter is to show Mrs. I's', prowess as an artiste supreme in the culinary field. Cranberries, ice-cream, nuts, coffee and indigestion abound and help to make a year packed with action for this efficient and artistic club. Much fun was had by all when Iacksons' splurged to the extent of a radio phonograph. Now everybody .land his uncle? has his voice in posterity's album. Even the rendition of the famous negro spirituals and the voices of Iamestown's great are there encased. Daughters of Atreus by Robert Turney was the 1941 production, and the 1942 presentation was Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Members also participated in Iourney to Ierusalem and Ladies in Retirement all of which displayed much talent and finesse. Stagecraft and costuming have found new heights, due to the efforts and abilities of Keith McClelland and Wendell Iosal. Properties, however, have hit C1 new low since no one wants to take any responsibility in the matter.

They say so themselves: It shall be the purpose of this organization to stimulate progress in. and to promote the interests of intercollegiate oratory, debate, and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of intercollegiate fellowship, of brotherly cooperation and interest, and by conferring upon deserving candidates a badge of distinction, pro- ficiency, and honor, varied and graduated according to merit and achievement. They're not nearly as stuffy as this makes them sound, however, and what's more. darned if they aren't true to their purpose. A list of their activities should convince you: Red River Valley Contest, Pi Kappa Delta Interstate and Oratorical Contest, National Meet, Men's Old Line Contest, Wornen's Old Line Contest, Peace Contest, Kneeland Contest, Stockwell contest for freshmen, and providing enter- tainment for downtown clubs. Some of the less talkative and more filling events were the Fall dinner at Lillos,' where good food spoke for itself, and the spring campfire breakfast in their back yard, where many a streamlined figure ate and ate and ate until 'twas more to be pitied than censuredf' Marjorie Thompson as President and Stella Lillo as Secretary may or may not indicate that it's the women who get the last word.

For if it was made they're gonna know about it sooner or later. They're the history and social science-minded individuals who are bound and determined to know what's happened in the past so they'll know what to expect in the future and how to live in the present. They've got monthly programs that are the envy of non-members who are usually invited to attend if there's something extra-special like movies or a talk by men prominent in local civic affairs. They also have talks by members cf the faculty and informal and panel discussions by members of the organization. They have a Spring Picnic, a Homecoming float, and a Stunt for Stunt Night. The eminent historians who led them this year were Herb Parker, president: Marjorie Wilson, vice-president: Phyllis Travis, secretary-treasurer. The organization was especially active this year because, as they have joyfully discovered, history is being made. They studied all the various and sundry theatres of war before they were theatres of war, so they say. And they claim they knew what the Iapanese were going to do before they did it, which is as unprovable as it is interesting. At any rate, they know what's what and now you know what's what-so that's what.
