LCDCBTIS HE l.eneans, religious dramatic organization, were organized under the direction of Miss Edith Dielmann of the Southwestern School of Fine Arts in 1927. Each year they have given a new play at various places in the Southwestern Kansas Conference, both in churches and as a Lyceum number. This year the members chose and have pre- sented the play Hpaul and iheltlafi The pro- duction has been named by many as the best drama that The l.eneans have staged in all their history. Everywhere it has won approval. The play centers around paulis worl4 in lconium, where he is converting people to Christianity, among whom is lhelda, the First woman martyr. During his stay in lconium, paul is thrown into prison by 'lhelcla's lover. The story ends with 'l'hel4la's accepting Christianity and following paul. Tl-IE CAST Paul . ..,.

A Cappella Choir HE most important oi Southwestern's choral eltorts is the A Cappella Choir, which was organized by Harold S. Dyer in TQQ6. lts progress and development have been startling under the praiseworthy leadership oi its directors. ln 1929, professor Haydn Qwens, a prom- inent choral conductor ol Chicago, tool4 over the management ol the choir. ln the three lol- lowing years, by malcing extended tours through the eastern and mid-western states, Professor Qwens raised the choir to national prominence. It received high praise from metropolitan critics and was rated as one ol the three best choirs ot its l4ind in the United States. Since that time the choral group has been holding its reputation through the leadership ot Dean H. Hugh Altvater, Dean oi Fine Arts ,QW ffm, oi Southwestern, and professor Allan F. Schirmer, of Chicago, who now holds the directorship ot the choir. lt has been the aim and purpose ol the A Cappella Choir to give to students the advantage of studying and producing the highest type oi choral music, including the Russian liturgical music, English classics, modern choral worl4s, and Negro spirituals. The choir has been an immense influence in the development of the musical lite in this part ol the state. Robert Davidson has served as business man- ager ior the past year, arranging tours in the conference and in neighboring states. The First semester, Howard Farrar served as student director, and Edward Hotton held that position the second.
