Father John McKenzie, S.J., receives the red carpet treatment an entering the Loyola Com- munity Theatre. Summer Curtain Guild The Summer Curtain Guild is a notable ex- ception to the inactivity of Loyola organizations during the long, lazy, vacation months. This year a new challenge was presented to the Guild in the form of an invitation to present a play before the National Catholic Theater Con- ference held in Detroit during the week of August 23-30. The play selected was Shake- speare's Midsummer Night's Dream, one of the successes of the last school year. The cast, under the direction of Mr. William Morris, remained much the same. Because of the different facili- ties available in Detroit, however, the play was presented in a three-quarter arena style with the costuming and setting transformed from Eliza- bethan to Greek.
