the most active in voting, poll¬
ing a percentage larger than
all other classes combined.

vice-president of the Sophomore
class; Shirley Thorn, secretary:
and Hans Morkisch, treasurer. In
this class as in the two upper di¬

retary and treasurer, respectively.

' Brief Music ' Cast Ready
For Tonight’s Performance
By PEGGY PAGE PULLEN
A laugh-packed evening is in store for those who attend
the second performance of the Delta Psi Omega annual three-
act play this evening. Lights will dim promptly at 8:15 in the
Sexson Auditorium for the eighth consecutive year on a new
dramatic achievement of the
is the amusing tale of life in a
ably Vassar. For the first time
in the history of the PJC chapter
of Delta Psi Omega, a feminine
cast will take over all roles. Due
to the shortage of male mem¬
bers an “all girl” cast with an
“all men” theme has been chosen
for the production.
Kathleen Hayes and Barbara
Turner vie for the affections of
the handsome drama professor
while Barbara Wickham plays
constant bridge unconcernedly
in the background.
The supporting roles are ably
portrayed by Barbara Willcox,
Nancy Whitney, Arline Schulz,
and Mary Cogswell. Each girl
is individually cast in a complete
and contrasting role which adds
to the interest and amusement
of the plot.
Dick Allen and Ben Turner,
only two male members in Delta
Psi, took over the technical end
of the production. Dick acted as
property man and student direc¬
tor, while Ben Turner handled
publicity for the play.
Miss Keppie, with unending
patience under the stress of
production troubles, directed
the show.
Charlene Murner, Mary Ann
Moran and Aurora Tally, Play-
Delta members. “Brief Music,”
girl’s college, in this case, prob¬
er’s Guild members assisted in
the production and acted as un¬
derstudies to the main cast.
Tickets may be purchased at
the door for a nominal fee or by
student body book. Proceeds will
go into the servicemen’s recre¬
ational equipment fund.
Gold Basketballs Passed
Rallying to the pounding of the
gavel wielded by Loren Barre in
the absence of Student Body
President Joe Harbison, were
ever-ready Board members this
Thursday morning. On the agenda
for the meeting was the voting
of ten gold basketballs to the
members of the PJC team. This
was finally done after much con¬
troversy because of the fact that
there were only two games this
season.
Also considered and passed by
the Board was the inclusion of
the Pep, Elections, and Bar Com¬
missioners in the Cabinet. It was
also announced that there would
be an important Board meeting
next week, in spite of the fact
that it is Triad Week, and all
members are urged to attend.
