No trouble has been spared to land an authentc atmosphere to the mid-Victorian set- to ting. The stage will be completely furnished with genuine antiques.

The cast will be garbed in authentic Victorian costumes, collected in Daytona Beach by Jane Ilileman and Frances Twitty. The set is the most complicated to be used in any play this year; with various arches, staris and windows in the rp.ost approved Victorian fashion. The dramatic structure of thc play is excellent. xMiss Hellman is noted for the dramatic constructions of her plays. Her current success, "Watch'On The Rhine," now playing on Broadway, is :he most successful play to be written about the present conflict. The dramatic action of the play centers around the efforts of Regina (Flonnie Anders) to persuade her sick husband Horace (Jack Causier) to join the Hubbard brothers, (Fd Dail and Russell Stilwell) in their alliance with Mr. Marshall (J. T. Btiidine,) a Chicago financier who wished to build a large cotton mill in their small Southern town. The climax is reached when—. hut you'd better see for yourseJf.

Theurer Inasmuch as so few of my vintage are left around school, I am beginning to feel as perennial, if not as venerable, as Dr. Gordis and Dean Carson. It was just this year that I rated a free meal being the only extant founder of the "Stetsonian," and now I am given the privilege of running on in print as one of the "old " ~~ editors " BLANDING BOUND It is true that I can remember ^^^^^^1^^^^^^^^^^^ most of the Reporter regimes, and vividly. Whatever claims to distinction the paper may not possess, it is undeniable that it has flourished under as varied a group of editors as ever luxuriated in the editorial "we." Founder Harry Gaylord's successor, quiet, unassuming Marjorie Andrews was as different from Bob Adams, who held forth the next year, as the Christian Science Monitor is from Ralph Ingersoll's PM. One year, diligence, thoughtful editorials, and deadlines met; and the next flying typewriters, endless bull sessions and limericks. Somewhere along in there I functioned too. My most poignant memories are writing up quantities of features which were to be printed under various pseudonyms to give the sheet a semblance of variety and democracy.- But it took Jane Taft to bring- to the Reporter social prestige. They didn't have to go out of the office for news that year. Those eventful days saw the inauguration of the annual pub crawl, a tradition which can obviously rest on its own merits.

In thinking of the Re- . porter one must realize that this composite result of past year's w-ork play an important part in aiding the editors and staff members to produce the present newspaper. There's something about working on a campus newspaper that gets you. Ask any past or present member of the Reporter staff who has ever pounded out a story on the notorious typewriters of the Reporter office and you'll find that they agree about some elusive quality concerned with the hectic work of meeting deadlines and covering news which steals into the blood and makes one forever after think back upon tire days spent in the Science Hall office as. exciting and rather wonderful. Most important event regarding the Reporter this year was the reestablishment of the teaching of journalism courses, which have been sorely missed by those in charge of editing the paper for the past three years. These courses enable students to Continued on page 8) ALPHA XIS ANNEX INTRAMURAL SING Delta Sigs Capture Men's Trophy in Friday Night Contest Alhpa Xi Delta, social soror- i}\, and Delta Sigma Phi, social fraternity, merited top honors in the second annual Intramural Sing held in Elizabeth Hall auditorium Friday night.

It was in 1935 that School of Music began on the road to its present success. The College was first located on the third floor of Elizabeth Hall on a parity with the Department of English, History and Science. The surrounding students in other classes always had a musical accompaniment to sooth their souls in solving the problems of their recitations. The first member of the active music faculty of the present day was Harold Giffin who came here as the head of the voice department. The Glee Club of those clays was truly an experiment and indeed an entirely Bailey Featured ln Violin Concert One of the finest musical attractions of the year was the concert presented last night by the University Orchestra with Prof. William H. Bailey as violin soloist and Prof. Harold M. Giffin as guest conductor. Presenting the violin professor as soloist for the first time this year, Prof.'Bailey artistically interpreted the Concerto in D Major by Beethoven, which was the feature of the program. Prof.- Giffin conducted the Concerto, proving himself equally at home in the instrumental as vocal field of conducting. The remainder of the program Tuesday night consisted of imaginative modern selections b y Mendelssohn, Marchant, Copland, and Grainger. new organization Tn the past seven years the Stetson Glee Club has developed into a fine organization with a national reputation, and has traveled extensively giving concerts (Continued On Page 6)
