Meetings were held every Wediiesday after school in Miss Schwerf man's room. . . s 5 5 I N ' Mostly one-act plays were concentrated upon. One ot the biggest projects attempted by this group was the working up of a Christmas 1 play. The treasury is always an allfimportant thing in any society. Not much can be bought without money, The club was very fortunate along this line in getting a share of the profits realized from the pre' sentation of Macbeth by a traveling company. Every Wednesday Night Several of the Mask and Wig members appeared in the show comprising the crowd. The dream of having Miss Schwerman's room converted into a tiny theater has been realized, and this is certainly a marked improvement. Members of this organization were interested not only in acting but also in costumes, stage settings, and makefup. Some of them really got a chance to apply their artistic ability while making up mem' bers for the college play, You and I. luhnson loutrus Egan F1155 5l'llU'i'rlllurl H!llIll1lK'I Mauhias Ba rfics , I.

An Incident in I C. Life-- Glorified for All It's a Wonderful World Kent and I, having finished talking to Mr. Ranne, swung around the corner on our way down the corridor. I had decided to drop comparative anatomy and was discussing the advisahility of such a move with my pal, A few steps hrought us to the edge of a moh of freshmen engineers. Several pushes, a grunt or two, and we had put this harrier hehind us. Before we had crossed three 'more floor cracks, a most heautiful creature passed us. A sliding stop, a quick turn of the head, and a sweeping glance revealed to us that this was certainly a sweet little dish. She was quickly engulfed in Douglass gang, and we were obliged to move on. I was dazed: I didn't even notice that my pal dropped into Dillmanls den. Aimlessly I shuffled past the J. J. C. oiiice and on down the hall. I guess it was the hell that awakened me and sent me up to anatomy. After we had taken our seats, I realized that my new find sat only three tables away. Whzit a chance! I eouldn't drop anatomy now. Of course, I did not dare let anyone in on my secret. For days I meditated. planned, and dreamed, until at last I suddenly remembered the big dance, which was only one week away. With pentfup hopes, I rushed into class the next day, only to find that I lacked the nerve to ask for a date. I didn't hear a thing the teacher said the whole periodg I was too excited waiting for the bell. I told Don of my intentions. He smiled as he said he'd gone through the same stages-until this morning, when he found out that she's going steady.
