n n m ra Sramattrfi The class of 1925 has proved itself beyond question a patron of the arts, if only in its devotion to the drama. Not content to trust our reputation for histrionic merit, as have other classes, to a gifted but jaded few, we have rallied in numbers to assist in the fashioning of our dramatic history. Names have shown with meteoric brilliance from time to time, only to drop into oblivion ; as if, content with hav- ing given their share of talent to our stage, their owners had chosen other less temperamental paths. Class presidents, athletes, Phi Betes have trodden our boards under obscurer names, wherein they have not only shown their versatility, but given us the spectacle of a practical application of the arts as a preparation for life. But, in addition to this loyal support from other fields, we can claim as many and as brilliant extra-curricular professionals in the drama as in any of our other pre-eminent interests. When the spring of our freshman year gave us an opportunity to develop our latent talents, we early showed ourselves eager for the- atrical fame. In the first production of the spring, the success of The Dragon rested largely on members of our class. The names of Anna Dallinger and Elinor Loeb, since familiar to campus theatregoers, appeared in the cast. Virginia McCalmont, besides presaging our brilliant future in her excellent performance, gave still another illus- tration of the native strength of the class backbone in her determina- tion to go through with the part, though she was borne to the infirm- ary from the stage door at the close of the play ! Our first mark in the history of producing was here set faintly in the persons of Fran- ces Bolton and Jessie Lloyd, who served on committees, obscurely of course, — but still an achievement for freshmen. The size of the cast for Were King gave twenty-nine more freshmen an intimate connection with the smell of grease paint and the nervous thrill of apprehension that precedes the entrance of a mob. It is significant that the names of Blake, Crawford. Tester, Foss, Wanamaker and Rannev thus early appeared on college play bills. But it was in the following year that our distinct acting person- alities began to emerge from the mobs of our dramatic infancy. The first production of the fall gave prominence to Kathleen Tildsley and Ruth Tester in a charmingly performed scene from the Romancers. On the same evening, Lucy Barnard, Grania Knott and Adelaide Avery made their successful debuts as characters in Masefield ' s Locked Chest. Large casts have for four years favored the ambition of our class. Several more of us skipped and sighed and sang ourselves before the footlights in the Workshop production of Scorpio. And we felt that we were growing up indeed, when Grania Knott, a mere sophomore, held the stage alone with a member of the Faculty in Li mo Hen us. n ol 16]
