ACTORS The dramatic club workshop and on increased interest on the part of the students have made the Blackfriars one of the foremost extra-curricular activities at Oswego State. The group is under the able direction of Mr. William Teufel. The Little Foxes, the maior production of the Fall semester was iudged a success by all. ln the Spring, members utilized their talents in radio skits over radio stations WOPT and WOSC. The most notable was The Foll of Fort Ontario, written and produced by Oswego students. Rumplestilskin, presented by the Children's Theater Group of New York City was brought to Oswego by the joint efforts of the Oswego Players and the Blackfriars. Following this, the club presented their own children's play, The Emperor's New Clothes. The results were so outstanding thot children's plays are now o must on the agenda of the group. Other activities of the Spring semester were a theater-in-the-round proiect ond several one-oct plays. The purpose of the Blackfriars is not only to entertain the audience, but to give interested students the opportunity to utilixe and increase their knowledge and skills in dramatics. This year the club has fulfilled both functions successfully, as the student body and members of the organization can testify. STAGE HANDS ov Flnt Row: A. Greenbaum, N. Wun- xtein, D. McCarthy, E.
