PETE DI NINNO ar it Player For the past twenty-seven years the Varsity Players has endeavored to give its patrons the best in dramatic art. On January 20, 1924, the group first met and since then has been attempting to fullill this aim. Bringing George Bernard Shaw into the Wagner theatre, the VP'sv presented, in the spring of 1950, a lively produc- tion of Androcles and the Lion with Christopher Mor- leyls Good Theatrev as a curtain raiser. The student production was the eerie mystery, 'KA Murder Has Been Arrangedv. A one act play, The Least of Thesev, drama- tized from Leo T olstoy's story, WVhere Love Is, There God Is Alsop, was presented in chapel during Lent. Efforts in the fall brought forth another student production, Oscar VVilde,s 'The Importance of Being Earnestn which was enthusiastically received by its audi- ences. Professor Nicholas A. Moss directed another of his usual successes, The Cherry Orchardv, by Anton Chekov. For the past three years Mr. Moss has been the director and faculty adviser of this group. He has gained the respect of all who have worked with him for his excellent guidance and directing. A thriving group, the membership is continually in- creasing and hundreds of dollars Worth of new, perma- nent equipment has been acquired.

var 99 W . lb Deutsc. er Kreis In the past year the Deutscher Kreis continued its activities toward the aim of bringing an in- creased number of members to a greater under- standing of German traditions. Its functions con- sisted of excursions to New York, presentation of films concerning ancient and modern Germany, and, of course, the Weihnachtsfest which has become a tradition dear to the hearts of all Wagnerians. In these activities the Kreis worked in close cooperation with the Deutscher Verein, its brother organization. Due to the resignation of its dear friend and founder, Dr. F. C. De VValsh, the group invited Dr. Kenneth Scott to become adviser to the club. OFFICERS President . . . . ELLEN KALINOWSKI Vice President. . . . . IANICE JUDD Secretary . .
