MASQUERADERS This club had indecision as its chief trouble maker because its members were never able to decide what play they wanted to present. When George Wilson resigned his position as president, his place was tilled by Helen Lemon. Helen tried too hard to please everyone, which is obviously an impossibility. People are like cattle, they have to be driven, and due to the tact that no one would do this, the Masqueradcrs became stagnant at times. However, at Christmas time, the actors presented The Queens Christmas, the most beautiful play that has ever been presented on our stage at that time ot year. The Masqueraders worked hard on this play and it was performed so well that they were asked to give it twice. Thanks to Dr. lkenberry, the royalty was given to the club, ln the spring these students dived into Shakespeare and one again presented one ot his plays. They had tun presenting it, and Dr. Linthicum had a wrinkle.

Even the members occasionally wonder what it is all about. The reason tor this is that as a club it has tailed to do anything constructive or worth while in the least during the year. Cultural nincompoops alll The Dirigo spirit moves on the campus and haunts all members ot this organization since it can recall when this was, and still could be, the most lively and most enviable group on the campus. For information on the good old days ot Ki Ku Ko, consult Miss Whipple. However, this crippled club had one good leg to lean on, this being that a tew ot its programs were ot some benetit. The most outstanding program was that given by Prot. Jones, in which he traced music from the beginning to the end, demonstrating his talk on the piano. Clarlcsburg was the setting tor two events during the school year. First was the initiation ceremony in the tall, the last, a banquet in the spring.

141' 3. . 1 i MODERN ALCHEMISTS The club's chief goal and achievement for the year was the raising of funds to purchase fluorescent lights for the laboratory. Joe Burch did a fine job raising money for such by selling Christmas candy. The lights were installed by electrically-minded club members, with Dr. Gould's able assistance and guidance. Also there was some badly needed repair work done on the laboratory floor. Business meetings were lightened semi-monthly by programs which included outside spealcers, reports by club members, motion pictures which involved using the club's own projector, and current events of scientific interest. To climax a successful year, the spring banquet provided an appropriate setting for the installation of the officers for next year.
