The organization ' s most important activ- ity since its birth was its celebration, in 1935, of the bi-millennium of Horace, which attracted wide notice, both in and out of Maryland. This year the society has secured as guest speakers. Dr. Albert P. Kline, Dr. Livingood, and Dr. Ford. The annual Christ- mas party, and picnic in May, with student meetings, make up the social part of the year ' s program. Interested friends of members of the society were present as guests from time to time. During the informal discussions following the meetings, refreshments, in charge of Jean Graber, were served.

The Washington Elm this year saw a six-page paper come off the press almosf every weekend. There were more pictures than there had ever been before, and there were more new pictures than there had been in any other volume of the publication. There was more writing to a column, more careful reporting of the news, and less filler used. The feature page was developed with interesting stories of people and events connected with the college, and the sports page was brightened. The editorship of the ELM was divided with each editor taking an equal part in the produc- tion. The editorial work was divided between the associate editor and the editor; the feature page was taken care of by a separate editor; and the sport page was planned and filled by its editor. The February graduation took Doc Parris, the associate editor; Jim Aycock, the sports editor; Phyllis Peters, the woman ' s editor, and Dian Hubbard, social columnist, from the paper. The ELM lost good workers by gradu- ation. BUSINESS STAFF Standing, left to right: Chamberlain, Case, Reed. Seated: Slade, Valentine, Juliana.

actors, were given in October. The club also presented The Little Darling, in an assennbly period. Ail of these were under student directorship. You Can ' t Take It With You, a success- ful three-act play given in December, com- bined the talents of both freshmen and upperclassmen. Even though the attend- ance was only mediocre, the actors took the first curtain call ever received at Wash- ington College. The staging was ingenious, making splendid use of every available inch of space to accommodate eighteen actors, printing press, a xylophone, and a family of snakes. Another three-act play in the spring brought the program of the Washington Players to a successful close, with prospects of an equally successful future. WASHINGTON PLAYERS WASHINGTON PLAYERS President VIRGINIA COOPER Vice-President RUDOLPH PARKS Secretary LEE LACHMAR Treasurer ROBERT PIERCE One of the largest and most active organizations on the Washington College campus is the Washington Players. In the past years this club has functioned under the directorship of Dr. Winton Tolles, who is now a lieutenant in the United States Navy. The responsibility of carrying on the work is therefore now more than ever up to the students. This year, because of a shortened term, the number of three-act plays was con- siderably reduced, although three one-act plays were given.
