ramafic Snciefg IFTER giving two plays very successfully last year, the club decided that if they were to concentrate their elforts into one play, it could be even more successful. They spent quite a while in selecting the play they wished to do, and hnally decided upon You Cdllif 'ldlfe ll Willa You by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, which was produced on April 9. The scenery for the play was designed by Mr. Randall O'Neil, the director, and the backstage work was done hy Doug Burgoyne and Bill Updike. The lights were handled by Carter Wlmite. Despite the ditliculty of staging it, the cast gave a very good interpretation and it was worth the month and a half of intensive work which was required to put it in shape. The actors were well suited to their parts. Becton Uhrbrock played Martin Vanderhof, the cynical head of the household. His daughter Penny, who writes plays, was acted by Ranny Merrill, and her husband, Paul, by john Luckstone. Kenny Krause and Gerry Dorman, as Alice and Tony, provided the love interest, while Dick Sherman put his excellent Russian dialect into the part of Kolenkhov. Others were john Scully and john Gleason as Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, Charles Ewell as Essie, and Walter Millis as Ed. The cast wishes to tender their thanks to Mr. O'Neil whose excel- lent direction contributed much to the success of the production. fi I I v uv ti l . Q is l Rx X . -X .

Although small, the Glee Club was well-balanced and, as the year progressed, acquired excellent tone quality. The Glee Club was under the direction of Mr. Charles Walker, an alumnus of Trinity School. Mr. Walker graduated from Trinity Col- lege and received his M.A. degree from Harvard. He studied under Mr, Archibald T. Davidson of Harvard, who is outstanding in the field of music. Mr. Walker employed Davidson's methods in the instruction of the Glee Club. The first program was a Christmas choral program given jointly with the Lower School. Two carols were sung by the Upper School group alone, and two together with the younger boys. The best known of the latter was the Welsh carol Deck the Halls. The Glee Club also carried on its custom of entertaining the Trinity alumni at their annual dinner. The most important event of the Glee Club year was the concert given jointly with Miss Fine's School for Girls and Trinity-Pawling. All three clubs sang both together and individually. The Trinity Glce Club placed particular emphasis on sea-chanteys, but also sang Tous les Bourgeois de Chatres, a French folksong, and the German Gute Nachtf' 32
