A. has Won itself a place in the Christian life of every young man on the campus. Weekly meetings resulted in discussions in which every man Was given opportunity to compare his ideas with others. Many inspirational meetings were held, some of which were led by outside speakers, while others were joint meetings with the Y. W. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. Was represented at the National Youth Volunteer Convention held at Indianapolis, Indiana. The Gospel Team work is deserving of high praise, and extended through the local community into the nearby states. The past several years the organization has sent delegates to the Southwestern Student Conference at Hollister and has profited greatly by the inspiration and ideals gained therefrom.

It is a place where young women of the college may go each week for worthwhile discussions on religious and social problems. Its line of Work is not confined, however, to its weekly meetings, for among its activities are included: assisting in the publishing of the student hand book, the big and little sister move- ment, the lottery party, capsule sister week and skating parties. Each year in June, delegates are sent to the Southwestern Student Conference at Hollister where students from our college are enabled to meet with other college young people of the Southwest and to become acquainted with the world-wide scope ol' work carried on by the Christian Associations.

THI TARKIANA. 1936 722 . ' ' . ,, , is nixcii now: si-hneidei-, R, Bennett, Luecker, Strom- Hoyle, Mr- Wynn- ! HUNT ROW: M. Rankin, Kinney, Grimmett, K. Rankin, Campbell, E. Carter, Barton. A . , f 7 LZ JL lflflefd It has been, and shall be, the purpose of this organizationvto .plan and to build and to grow until it occupies an important position in the aesthetic life of the students ol' Tarkio College and the citizens of Tarkio through the .continued presentation of plays that not only provide entertainment but most predominantly provide a standard for aesthetic judgment. Likewise, it has been the purpose of this organization to train students in the professional principles of acting by allowing the actors, through the playing of small and bit parts, to fit themselves for larger and more difficult roles. The ultimate purpose is to produce a well-rounded company of actors, trained on the basis of accepted professional standards. When that is achieved, the standard ol' acting, ol' course, also will have advanced. The plays chosen this year were not chosen at random. Rather they fit into a very definite plan. The Experimental Productions produced in October provided not only varied types of acting vehicles, but also an opportunity for a glimpse at modern techniques ol' play-writing and production, and a glimpse into the methods of pro- duction and acting ol' the past. Noah not only gave us a new insight into the eliaracler ol' Noah, but provided an example of a modern broadway success. The A lJoll's House is good literature, it provides and excellent acting vehicleg and it :-reteup definite problems of directing and producing. The first program was an admixture ol' comedy, farce, and tragedy, Noah was most definitely comedy, A lJoll's House stands as an accepted example of realistic tragedy. ' ' ' The theatre is not a hobby. Many countries support it as a national institution. It rests with the College and the -Q Little Theatre to keep the oldest of institutions alive in America. 6,3 1 V - X- OFFICERS Grand Director .....,,........,,.
