About Talent, Activities Congratulations to the Laetare Players on their artful presenta tion of Victoria Regina, and to the Junior Class on its wonderful Prom * * * If you can sing, dance, act, or pantomime, you may be in the all- college Talent show on May 22. Information about separate class eliminations will appear on the bul letin boards. Three acts will be chosen from each class, the method of selection depending on the chairmen. You need no special talent just a lit tle imagination and originality. Start planning now * * * Because of the large number of campus clubs, some of which are fairly inactive, the Activities Co ordination Board has decided to limit them. The ACB is drawing up a set of rules to which all clubs must subscribe, and has decided that all must re-charter every year through the Student Activities Council. The re-chartering will reveal the amount of interest in each club. Failure to re-charter or to abide by the rules will mean that the club will be inactive for the ensuing year, not that it will be ex tinct. It may be reactivated the following year. This plan will go into effect in September of 1954.

But for Crew There'd Be No Queen On Stage The audience didn't see them. Hidden behind the Walls of the palace, these elves of mystery are the ghost designers of the theater. They put the show on the stage. Without these unacclaimed help ers, Victoria Regina would never have played on Eeb. 12, 13, and 14. They are the stage hands, the properties, wardrobe, lighting, pro motion, and box office managers. Joan Overholt and Joan Sramek acted as assistant director and pro duction coordinator, respectively. Loretta I.ind, Vivian Schultz, Mary Jo Valentino, and Patricia Kilday were in charge of wardrobe. Stage hands, who made sure the palace walls didn't fall and painted the doors on the walls, were Nancy Schreiber. Ruth Perine, Catherine Frey, and Anne Hackett. To make sure that the cups were filled with tea and the vases had flowers, Ging er Walsh, Norma Reed, and Ger trude Lombardo acted as properties managers. Marie Roach, Marion Kennedy, and Kthel Prendergast handled the box office receipts, and Winifred Owens, Diane McDermott and Dolores F'erraro lighted the stage. Mary Shearin and Lucille Young- maim handled promotion. The house manager was Jean Martin. Ominous and Silent Freshman Survives First Brush With Erudition I find that I do not seek cultural experiences. I find that I do not have many cultural experiences. I find that I am not sure what a cul tural experience is. I find that most of my cultural experiences are forced on me as if they were cod liver oil or term papers. A trip to the Newberry Library is a little awe inspiring and quite terrifying. Everyone there looks scholarly and brilliant. Everyone there looks as if he had written at least 20 books. Everyone there looks solemn. Therefore, when you arrive you try to conform. You look sol emn. You assume a scholarly ex pression. You may even unbutton your collar and rumple your hair. Rows and rows of card cata logues, ominous and silent; volumes and volumes of books, ominous and silent; and legions and legions of librarians, ominous and silent, are all in a gigantic plot to prevent you from ever finishing your research. Silence, all except for the big clock ticking and ticking. Then, your research is over. You fling your books on the return desk, grin impishly at the head librarian and do a soft shoe on the stairs. Your cultural experience is over and you're more than glad. You're exalted. But you'll be back. The Faculty will take care of that. And by the time you're a Senior who knows YOU may be scholarly and brilliant 27 New Students Come at Semester Twenty-seven new students tm registered for the current semestel and three former students haveJ turned after a semester or morel absence from Mundelein.
