0 NE of the memolrable events for the January class of 1954 was the presentation of I Remember Mama by John Van Druten.,Directed by Miss Helen S. DeFrance, the cast put on an outstanding performance On D.6C6mbeI' 4, l953, before a large, appreciative audience. Much crecjlit :must also go to Mr. Wesley Mills and to his fine stage crew who t . . ma e e rea :strc scenery and without whom the play could never have been presented . 642, v-' I Remember Mama ORTRAYING the simple every day life of a Norwegian mother and her family in San Francisco, the play held much human interest. The actors handled the dialect very naturally for amateurs and gave a most sympathetic interpretation of the characters.

Throughout the many long hours of hard work, no one lost his good humor, and there was always a ioke whenever the tension became too great. Certainly everyone will remember the time when it took the whole cast, the stage crew, and a football player twenty minutes to locate Dag- mar's Gwendolyn. But, perhaps, the most valuable experience they had was their working together as a team to accomplish a common goal. I8
