The purpose of the club is to encourage interest and participation in dramatic activities and the arts of com- munication. Providing members with an opportunity to learn and practice speech and drama techniques is another benefit. At monthly meetings the members dis- cuss and evaluate current theatre, film productions, and techniques of stage lighting and make-up. In its first year at Mary Manse the Drama Club pro- duced several one-act plays under the direction of its moderator, Mother Mary Charles. This year's student- directed production was The Cop on the Corner in which eight club members participated. Some club members were also involved in the college play, Lute Song. Many of the Drama Club's productions were presented to various groups in the community in order to develop out- side interest in the club and college.

Humanities Club Students interested in the various areas of the human- ities, which they know to be necessary for their develop- ment as liberally educated persons, comprise the Human- ities Club. Semi-monthly meetings inform members of current trends in art, drama, music, literature, and Modern Aspects of the Humanities . Some of the sub- jects were Understanding Modern Artn, A Thurber Afternoon , African Liturgical Music , and Mn Blue: A Modern St. Francis . The second semester found the club exploring more of the human influences on the humanities such as uni- versal ideas of the Theatre of the Absurd, examples of classical and modern music, and ideas of modern ex- pressive dance. Visiting the Art Museum, touring a glass plant, attending a theatrical production, and sponsor- ing the Bookmobile brought an awareness of the availa- bility of humanities in Toledo and the surrounding area.
