The members of the Jest and Gesture Society gathered on the stage of McShain Auditorium which, this year, has afforded them new opportunities in staging their dramatic productions. The Jest and Cesture Society boasts a large member- ship, incorporating an even cross-section of the student body. The reason for its popular appeal is that the club welcomes and encourages not only dramatic ability, but A D backstage talent as well. This year's main production, Pygmalion, met with well-deserved success. Other items which brighten the clubis agenda are the monthly plays, the inter-class play competition, the traditional Christmas play, entertainment at the St. Agnes Home, radio competition with other leading Dramatic Societies, and the Pennsylvania Olympic Play Competition. Meetings are informal and informative, and on the whole, the club fosters an aware- ness and appreciation which naturally result in active participation in the fascinating world of the theatre.
