Miss Grayhill with her Hams, Norms, etc. Juniata Drctmatists Receive The lights grow dim, the curtain parts, and a hush pervades the auditorium, as the Masquers present another successful dramatic production. For the boy and girl of Juniata, the Masquers offer an opportunity to participate in dramatic productions and an acquaintance with works of wellfknown playwrights. Behind the footlights of Juniata's semester plays is an organization quite capable of shifting scenes, building flats, managing the business affairs, and last, but not least, making true Katherine Cornells and John Barrymores. Membership in the Masquers is purely honorary, and is awarded on the basis of points earned by working in the various fields of production. Credit is given for acting, stage work, and publicity management, but at least two .of the required points must be for stage work. Arts and anguages Plaudits of Student Body Yet all work and no play would make even Noah a dull boy, and with this in mind, the club has held several parties on College Hill. The oilicers of the club are Dwight Reiman, president, Virginia Crist, secretary, and Ives Harvey, treasurer. Miss Betty Graybill acted in the capacity of faculty advisor and director of production. Penny Wise, a light three act comedy by Jean Ferguson Black opened the season this year on November 3. The second semester play, presented on March 21, was 'LNoah, a fantasy translated by Andre Obey. This was a stylized play based on the Biblical story ofthe flood. The enthusiastic reception with which it was received confirmed Miss Graybill's already recognized talent as a director of fine dramatic productions. ll24ll

Arts Hlld Languages The Maestro of the Choir A Cappella Choir It is in vain that one attempts to persuade Prof. Rowland and the A Capella Chon' that seven is an unf lucky number, for this, their seventh season, has been both colorful and successful. The choir, composed of fifty voices under the direction of Professor C. L. Rowland has come to be recognized for its skill and power in interpreting the spiritual beauty of the world's finest religious music. During the year the choir rendered thirty eight conf certs, and made six broadcasts. The choir's signature number, Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord from Mendelssohn' Elijah and the processional hymn, Fairest Lord Jesus were part of a program in which there were represented works ranging from the sixteenth century compositions of Palestrina to the latest arrangef ments of spirituals by Nathaniel Dett and Noble Cain. Among other composers represented in this years prof gram were Bachf Handel, Beethoven, Bartnyanski, Ippolitofflvanof, Hunperdinck, Christiansen, and Born' schein. The last mentioned is a member of the teaching staff of the Peabody Conservatory of Music, whose compositions, especially in the choral Held have won for him a prominent place among American Composers.
