Witli three major liroductions and several other appearances and extra performances, this was one of the busier seasons for the Mask and Rapier Society. Under its tire- less ])sychologist-moderator, Fatlier Scanlan, and with a new director, English professor H. Charles Staley, the dramatics society first took part in a |)ageant presented in Loyola’s Marian Year celehralion.

auditorium, rehearsing and building sets. For in early December the club presented Gogol’s “Inspector General,” giving it an unusual arena stage perlormance. Loyola’s third attempt to win the annual Provincial one-act play contest met with success at Georgetown as the dramatics society’s ])ro- duction, in lull Kabuki style, with on-stage attendants, musicians, and narrator, of the Japanese play, “The Emperor’s Doll,” de- feated the plays of the other three Jesuit schools of the Maryland Province. This show was then sent on to Fordham to com- pete against St. Peter’s College and Boston College, winners of the contests in the New York and New England Provinces, respec- tively. Loyola finished second, defeated by St. Peter’s production of “Pipistrelle of Aquitaine,” by one and three-quarter points. The final score: 201 to 199 4. The scheduled Spring opus of the society was an “Evening of the Theatre,” a collec- tion of scenes from several plays and a com- plete one-act play by a member of Loyola’s faculty. 29
