rjCittie theater Little Theater members practice all sorts of stage craft, play direction, and acting. They produce plays, experiment with new techniques and old, stimulated by many trips to the professional performances at the National. Their own shows are lively and vigorous. They seem to like to entertain us and we certainly look forward to their dates on our school calendar. Through Lend- A -Hand Society we all contribute to the Washington Community Chest and to several closer, more individual interests of our own. At Christ- mas time this group plans the parties for the children at Hillcrest and for the children of our M. V. S. servants. At the first of these the Christmas pageant is performed in Chapeh At the second Santa comes in person to the play in the Indoor Gymnasium and to distribute the good things on the Christmas tree.

Artists Model TJitrt Aesthetic Suing In Art Club the girls play around with all sorts of plastic substances, and every now and then something lovely emerges. The Marionette show has become an annual affair, for this, a group of Art Club girls artistically interpret some favorite old story, embellishing it with their own ideas of scenery, costume, and music. Modern Dance recreates and interprets life, emotion, and idea through the medium of the dance. This year the Group is working on folk dances. In groups of two or more they develop their own choreograph to char- acterize the music they have chosen. They develop grace and a creative sense of rhythm. More important, they discover the artistic resources and values of the dance.

f ic id House Frolics 3ufJ J4c ottJe party in Field House brings together our dona- tion to the Blood Bank. The aim of the Field House company is to provide a recreation center for afternoons and special evenings; a place where we may eat, play, gossip, and relax. The proceeds from the Gift shop and the sweets bar go toward pay- ment on the debt taken on by the charter mem- bers who built the house. These Lassies learn a lot about managing money and about all sorts of buying. They acquire early that sales personality that gets us all down.
