An active, varied and successful program at the Playhouse this year has proved our Players' versatile capabilities. The 1948-49 season was opened in October with Noel Coward's Blythe Spirit. The cast consisted of upperclassmen who presented delightful performances. ln November, four one-act plays showed much new talent on stage. Production was assisted by student directors Teresa Danish, Jeanne Warne, Helen Louise Blair and Joan Kerns Rodefer. Christmas season ushered in two new types of plays. Thornton Wilder's A Long Christmas Dinner and Stephan Vincent Benet's A Night at an lnn. New stage techniques used by Dr. Miller and his crew were very effective. An old fashioned New England farmhouse furnished the set- tng for January Thaw, which was directed by Mr. Kerns. Unusual characters in uncommon situations provided for very amusing en- tertainment. ln March we saw the first production of Greek tragedy at the Playhouse. A modern version of Antigone, revealed unusual dram- atic talent on our campus. Shakespeare's Twelfth Night was the final production of the year. Much time and effort were spent in designing and making costumes and new scenery. This proved to be the most colorful production of the year. The year has been a very busy one for the stage crews. Many additions have been made to the lists of movable scenery and im- portant stage properties. New lighting devices have been secured. The wardrobe is much increased, with a variety of types of cos- tumes. The tireless efforts of Dr. Miller in every phase of production cannot be too strongly emphasized, and the Players are very grate- ful to him. The Players are looking forward to the coming year and are planning a very unusual program to help celebrate the Anniversary of the college. 78 Dr. Miller Director fl. Cliffi YAMM

The group met each month during the year and under the capable leadership of John Harbaugh, a student in the School of Music in piano, conducted several very profitable meetings. Many of the members of the club are also studying John Harbaugh President music. The club sponsors the afternoon Listen- ing Hour in Walton Hall and Madison Hall. This gives the students who do not belong to the club an opportunity to hear and enjoy the growing library of classical albums of the Music Department. 77 That must be an interesting paper.
