A. D. L. Committee The Los Angeles Piano Quartet presented their program of chamber music one evening at UCR. ln keeping with the UCR ideal of a liberal education for each student, the arts, drama, and lectures program was designed to be both stimulating and entertaining. A great deal of planning and hard work insured that each event would appeal to the majority of students, our noon music, movies, art exhibits, lec- tures on numerous topics, concerts, and plays were all ofthe highest character. One ofthe greatest accomplishments ofthe ADL Committee was that seldom did it venture oft the campus in its search for talent to sponsor in its activities. Both the committee and the wonderful participants are to be highly commended. The Griller Quartet preparing to present a concert at UCR.

ast - First Shepherd - Second Shepherd - Third Shepherd - - Mak - - - Gill - The Virgin Mary Play tremely well and, under the skillful guid- ance ot their director, Dr. William Sharp, it was enthusiastically received. A greater part of the play was a farce which whipped itself into a bombastic frenzy. A sudden break from the farcical overacting into near underplaying for the more serious nativity scene, the play ended on a jubilant note as the three shep- herds realized that the Savior had come. Millicent Sarvey and Dave Miller, as Gill and Mak, quietly listen to the three shepherds who, in turn, quietly listen back.

Christmas Formal Christmas comes to UCR Winter Wonderland was the theme of our first Christmas formal. Soft lighting, a silver- gleaming tree and darkened holly set the mood of a snow-lit evening, a winter dusk. The swirling and turning couples, as they wheeled around and about the tree, seemed as snow flakes dancing to the music of the Chinook wind. The gay formals and white dinner jackets of the couples seated about the room looked like ice crystals frozen to branches and reflecting the multi-colors of the dimly lit afternoon. The orchestra music of the wind ceased, and no longer was there any light to shine upon the dazzling crystals nor could the swirling snow be seen. For the illusion of the evening had ended and, as had the dance, become void of life. All that is left are unforgettable memories.
