GLEE CLUB A D OCTET The Glee Club provides an opportunity for boys to sing together for their own pleasure as well as that of others. Their annual appearances begin with the Sunday morning service on Parents Wfeekend and in- clude the traditional Candle Light Service of Christmas carols and the Northfield Music Festival in March. Outside performances often include a visit to Bellows Falls High School. Mr. Tischler felt that this year's Glee Club was one of the best in the past few years. He hoped to make a recording of the club's current numbers during the spring. Sam Hicks was President of the club this year and Dean Clark Vice-President. Peter Mitchell and Ron- ald Stewart served as managers, and Mr. T. K. Tischler directed. :9fJf1cf111,u.'I Managers Ron Stewart and Peter Mittltell. St.11tJ: Director I. K. Tischler.

King of Hearts, Act II DRAMATICS The Dramatics Club once again fulfilled its purpose of providing interested students with an outlet for their theatrical inclinations. This year the Vermont Academy Players scored a hit in their successful version of King of Hearts by jean Kerr and Eleanor Brooke, which was presented in December under the direction of Mr. T. K. Tischler assisted by Mr. Charles Solms. john Arthur interpreted the lead role of Larry Larkin, a noted cartoonist, Whose secretary and fiancee, Dunreath Henry, was played by Pam Lucy. Mark Palmer was Francis X. Dignan and Sally Brodine, jeniella. Larkin, ostentatious and egotistical, hires Dignan to ghost-draw his comic strip while Larkin honey- moons with Dunreath. However, Dignan falls in love with her instead, and, after various complications, wins her hand. Chip Smith and Brian Angell performed capably in supporting roles. Others in the cast were Tony Carbine and Richard Hubbell. Stmzdirzg: Mr. Solms, assistant director.
