Wmma HE Drama Club season of 1920-21 was one of accomplishment, and T while no effort was made to adhere to the original schedule of one per- K$5 formance a month, each Of the seven plays given was of a cons1stent1y high standard, and marked the work of the lclub well eut of the amateur w class. High grade direction, unexpected and exceptlonal talent, and a wide-spread and enthusiastic support by the student body, are largely responsible for the success of the year. The club was fortunate in having Mr. Bechtolds services as a director. Previous to his coming to Reed, Mr. Bechtold had had wide experiencein both callege and professional dramatics. His work in HA Marriage Proposal and in 1Hobsons Choicew was particularly effective, in both Of which plays results were achieved seldom equaled by college players. Miss Bacon in her direction of an act from the HYellow jacketH created an effect of oriental whimsy and splendor that was keenly appreciated. Mr. Grays experiment in producing Hln the Zoneai with a number of Freshman men unused to dramatic appearance once more showed his ability to mold new material into a highgrade group of players. Mr. Grays work in HRyland,H both acting and directing, was also effective. Out of the numbers of players that appeared this season, Consuelo McMillan, Arthur McLean, and Forrest Foster did strikingly good work that kept up their reputations gained in previous years. Among new members of the Club, the work of Margaret Westgate Harold King, Frances Barbey, Harry McCoy, and Howard Smyth assures continued high standard productions. Of the various groups at work particular mention must be made Of the cos- tumihg and properties groups, who were called upon for the utmost in resource- fulness this year. Officers of the club for the year were: president, Consuelo McMillan; Vice- president, Gladys Blaine; secretary, Julia Harrison; and treasurer, William Scott. The faculty dramatic committee included Miss Young, Mr. Bechtold and Mr. Gray.

Although as yet a mu51c department 1s a dream of the future, we have good reason t . . . . appreciate the unusually good Opportunltles wh1ch come to us for extending our knowledge of this realm of art. CHORUS One of the most popular organizations on the campus is the Reed College Chorus, membership of which includes faculty and student alike. The position of director, which is always filled by a student, was held this year by Elizabeth Gore, a junior. Three most successful concerts were presented during the year, the first of which was the traditional Christmas concert, an event that is con- sidered as unique in the city and is one of the most attractive affairs of the calendar. The atmosphere of the holly-wreathed, candle-lighted chapel, with the singing 0 think it is not far distant, and in the meantime W5 4; ' r355 Mn mMRW I. .15rn5T 3 :3: .03? tggwiir 5M 5.5::th mV' 5 $rrp' of old beloved carols by the vested choir, leaves an indelible impression. Miss ggrrt'ww Goldie Peterson and Mr. J. Erwin Mutch as special soloists were greatly enjoyed. The Recital of Folk Songs and Traditional Melodies which was given early in April, likewise attracted a large and appreciative audience. Old favorites such as Men of Harlech, My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose and Old Black Joe won the hearts of all, while a group of Russian folk-songs arranged by Kurt Schindler aroused much interest. Miss Louise Huntley and Mr. Otto Wedemeyer were soloists on this occasion. I , The final concert, presented during Commencement Week, was a fltting climax to the years work. The beautiful HSpringtideH cantata by Rachmaninoff, with piano and organ accompaniment, formed the major part of the program. Mr. J. Erwin Mutch as baritone soloist, Miss Alice johnson at the piano and Miss Lucile Murton at the organ deserve much praise for their splendid work. Organ solos by Miss Murton added to the interest of the program. OLDS MEMORIAL ORGAN The Gothic chapel in the west end Of the Arts Building forms a rare and beaUtiful setting for the frich-toned Olds Memorial Organ which is the source of many mspirational chapel services. In addition to this daily opportunity for organ 1 music, monthly lecture-organ recitals are presented by Mr. Lucien E. Becker, F. A. G. 0. Planned to give a historical knowledge of periods Of music as well as 5 the characteristics of various composers, these recitals are of educational value. 54 '5
