. ... If Ripon College is to bo o truly successful liberal arts institution, it must be more than classrooms and textbooks and the proverbial ivy-draped walls. A good deal of that success must be attributed to that cont'oversial ond all-encompassing term of Extracurricular Activities. Despite the criticism levelled at the extrccurricular program, Ripon's student activities survived surprisingly well. The College Days, if seen somewhat less regu- larly, still proved a u$e;ul diversion fo' Ripon's budding jcurna ists .... WRPN was louder and clearer than ever before .... Mr. Bergstrom staged two very fine dramas, bo h of wiich proved the wisdom of Ripon's theotricai investments. . . . .

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was to be the spring musicol, but it seemed that neither gentlemen nor blondes preferred to devote the great amount of time and energy needed to produce a success. While Ver-Adest hed gene down, no one was bold enough to predict that it had gone for coed, and so the Theatre Club sighed and mode plans for next year. Although seme thought that there should be fewer activities, or mere, or that there was too much apathy, or that some activities eultivefed more apathy than others, everyone seemed to agree that they served their purpose, and that one could even derive a certain amount of pleasure and healthful recreation from them. Some of the more frivolous souls even suggested an Apathy Club. Who knows? .... 23
