e4iCMu QluJt- [EDWARD GOLDMAN] For those who enjoy the more graceful of the sports, we offer fencing. Be it for love, honor, sport, or just to get that kink out of your shoulder, the fencing club invites you to take a stab at it. The group, self-taught as a whole (a few have had instruction), carry on their slaughter under the assistance of the most progressive student present during each practice session. Winter saw the painting room the club headquarters, but spring brings the enthusiasts out to show the smokers their style in sword play. May the next season be as successful as this, the third. Answer to questions: Yes, the little red hearts on the white vests are in the proper place.

The Swan Ferenc Molnar MgAcx Ueaine. (DONALD MOSS] The average artist is no less an average man. What better way for him, initiate, to enlarge his scope than through the medium of a sister art? The theatre is the sought-for change of work that strengthens as well as rests. And is it wrong to taste the wine of make-believe, to leave this world of cold reality, to live our dreams, to cull the epitomes of human emotion? That is to feed the imagination with food digested by the ages — to uncover within himself expression of his own experience masked in the livery of other men ' s fortunes — that is the actor ' s secret. It is also his reward. The program of the Mascart Theatre for the 1936-37 season is as follows: A series of three monthly lectures on the mechanics of dramatic presentation .

Margaret Wilder Robert Grady Ue SkeitUt Qlt ISTUART HODGE] The scrapings from the Sketch Club palette this year make a varied mixture. First of all, the club has offered fine proof of its progress by requiring larger quarters, where our sketches are seen to better ad- vantage. In the sanctity of the north gallery we members hurried monthly to mat and thumbtack our pro- phetic masterpieces. Here, by means of discussions, the setting of the galle ry, and proximity of each other’s work, we were able to see the error of our ways. The one-man shows of Bob Grady and Ed Goldman gave local color to the picture, while the real center of interest came in the unusually successful annual exhibit. The club has been ably directed once again by Mr. Philbrick, who carefully guided us in correcting our bad habits and fixing permanently our good ones.
