RECREATION RCDOM l These pictures show various activities in the Recreation Room There is no better spot in the college than the Recreation room. It is per- fect for work or play-a swell place to meet your friends and play a game of ping pong or checkers. The Recreation Room got its start from the money made at the first Fun Fest ever held at the college. The take was good and the committee used the money to the best advantage buying chairs, tables, games, draperies, and most of the equipment that is in Student Center. Since then individuals, organizations, and money made from successive Fun Fests have equipped the Recreation Room in its present state. The art students have contributed the mural and the beautiful Wall panels. The Room is managed by a Student Center Committee comprised of faculty and students and is kept in a clean condition by a group of N. Y. A. students. SEVENTY-THREE

CHRISTMAS PLAY This year's all-school Christ- mas party was somewhat different from those of previous years in that the main attraction was Xmas in a Madhousef' a two-act play which was produced and directed by Rob- ert Minor and sponsored by the Student Council. It was along the line of Hellzapoppin ' and as the title implies everybody was slight- ly wacky. The highlights of the evening were. a vocal number by the Three Trays, Jim Holman, Les- lie Gowan and Harry Adamson: special entertainments were Boh Weis, Peggy Fuller, Pat Cassidy, the Psychiatrist-Robert Minor, Stanley Isle, Student Body Presi- dent, wxho made a fool of himself, but nevertheless was very useful, and the Girl's Chorus composed of lrene Arthur, Betty Tulley, Betty Begole, Helen Jane Boon, Dottie Wilsoii, Jeanette Barclay, Patsy Merck and jean Statenbocker. The audience participated not only in the dance that followed, but also in the production itselfg par- ticularly those bombarded by a de- luge of feathers and attacked by paratroopers which turned out to be a pair of crossed chicken legs that fell from the ceiling. The entire production was strictly an all-school affair and was a success financially as well as theatrically. The profits of the pro- duction were used for the benefit of all students. Everyone is look- ing forward to another all-school get-together next year and it is hoped that it will become an annual tradition at M. C. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, the music for which was furnished by the Swing- land Serenaders. T FUN FEST No one would ever have rec- ognized old M. I. C. on the night of April 17, 1942. Concession booths filled the halls-all of the class rooms had been converted into crazy museums, bingo stands. fish ponds, or displays of some kind. There were even more interest- ing things going on in the auditor- ium. Mr. Hankins directed the M. I. C. Band in a half hour concert which was immediately followed by the combined Co-Ann-Red Hot show, They took us on a trip to Song Heaven, the place where all good songs go. And did they sing those old favorites beautifully. Then the M club took over and presented their mass of mascu- line models in the most spectacular chorus line ever to be presented on the C. stage. But was that all? Uh no-not near. The main show of the even- ing took us to an army camp where some of the bo-ys were dreaming of where their unknown destination would be. With them we saw beautiful Hawaiian girls, a harem from the near east, and even Angels of Mercy CRed Cross Nurses to youj, spiced here and there with Mr. Hill's traditional wit. Even now the fun wasn't over. You know how we are-when we do something we do it right. Well -after all this there still was a big dance. After a night like this ev- eryone was willing to confess they had fun at the Fun Fest. SEVENTY-TWO
