Marston Haddock our Dramatic Club made many important strides this year. For the first time as an organized group, headed by a board of officers, we produced not only plays, but good spirit and wonderful co-operation. lt would be difficult to say whether the audience or the players had more fun, as Mrs. Ruggles and her hilarious brood rolicked their way through the Birds' Christmas Carol. As in all Christmas plays, a touch of nostalgia was present. In this offering it was supplied by Carol, a crippled girl, played by Coeli Ryan. Our Spring production brought with it the opportunity to play 'children' again as theinimitable Mr.and Mrs. Rose, played by Sally Tiers and Mary Elizabeth Warren, shepherded their flock through all the joys and sorrows that can only beset the very young. And who will forget the touching humor of jimmy john, the adopted crippled boy, portrayed by Jeanne Joyce. All in all, the year '51- '52 has been a truly memorable one. 1Fii'i t ui is-ul..

This was the ideal setting of the 1952 Spring Dance which climaxed the social activities of the year. The delightful music of Clarence Furhman's N.B.C. orchestra gave the final note to a per- fect evening. The dance, well attended by the students, alumnae, and parents, like Cinderella's famous ball. ended too soon, the music, ceased at the stroke of one, and another lovely Spring Dance was ended.
