' presented.

A t presen t the entire cast, including as choru s the Glee Club, is h ard at work roundi ng off the

r ough edges.

The oper etta is unde r the di r ection of the Rev. J. W . R. Magui re, C .S. V ., and Miss H a rriett Gillett e, of Kankakee.

Father Maguire is di recting the principals in th e speaking p a rts, while Miss Gi llett e is whipping th e choru s and th e soloists into shape.

Both are extremely well satisfied with the resu lts obtruDed to date and a re optimistic concerning the s uccess of the production. \ Venthe Given R ole Because Don T. And er son, baritone, was forced by the pressing n eed of his bus iness in the College St ore, t O give up his part, Miss Gillette has placed Raymund Wenthe in his r ole, t hat of "Pish-Tus h ".

A lthough Wenthe is inexp erienced, it is believed th a t his real ly f ine voice and n atural doggedness, will carry him t o a s uccessful portrayal of the biL Th e role is not a particularly difficult one, but it is one, according to Miss Gillette, that would be apt to give some trouble to an inexperienced singer .

Good Cast The Opere tta will be a magn ificen tly s t aged aflair .

Colorful costum es, and t he modern facilities of the K ankakee High School aud ito rium togethe r with brilliant choral work, promises to make the fo r th coming presentation one of the most spectacular in the history of Viator Dramatics.

Miss Teresa Gray, in the role of "Yum Yum" a beautiful girl jus t out of a ladies' seminary, h as the p r inciple female role.

Supporting he r arc Miss Lucille Putz, as Pitti Sing and Miss Agnes Stelter, as Peep-Bo. Play ing opposite Miss Gray, James Foohey sings t he role of Nanki-Pooh. John Cronin will appear. in th e role of Koko, " th e Lord High-Execution e r' ' , th e princ iple male s inging role, callin g for eigh t solos . H e is giving a clever interpretati on of a very pleasing and comical charac t e r .

Miss Mary Cr u ise sings t he role of Katisha in a p a rti cularl y co nvin cing manner, V\<Ilile Edwar d Hunt, as the "Mikado", s ings with his u sual vigor and clari ty.

J . K e nn e th B ushman, as Pooh-Bah, "Lor d Hi gh Ever y thing E lse", sings very w ell and gives an exceptionally fine portrayal of th e char ac t e r of Pooh-Bah. Play Is Amus ing The Op ~retta is ac tu ally a rolli cking, if somewhat subdued, musi cal comedy.

Coming, as it does, at the end of the winter seaso n ani a long period of social inactivity it is welcomed by everyo ne-with the possible exception of the faculty members who are so unfortunate as to have Saturday morning classes. The Freshmen have undergone considerable expense in securing th e most desirable settin g an d music for their important da nce, and, with al. they have made the price of bids exceptionally low. It r emains for the students to lend their hearty support-a duty that should prove most pl easant.

During the past two o r th ree years the College Club h as not been the active o rganization that it could and

should be.

The elections have generally been quite exciting, but the year's business gene rally proves to be a firecracker of a dampened characte r .

The meetings are held at intrrvals of every four or five months and even then not enough enthusiasm has been stored up to make things inter esting.

One is t emp t ed to ask lbe reason why.

P ersonally, I be lieve the inactivi t y arises both on th e part of lbe student body and from t he lack of the proper spiri t in the offi cers.

John Meany has

announced

that and Field meet will take place at Bergi n

Ithe

Annual Intramural Track

Field on Friday, May 19, at two o'clock.

Meany believes that this year's event will be the fin es t ever s taged in Bergin Field, inasmuch as th e meet has attracted more allention and interest t his year than ever before.

Ano th er factor in th e brtght prospect for the :neet is the unprecedented wealth of track enthusiasts on the campus this year.

F rosh Prospects Brig h t Each class will be expec ted to enter a team of not less than four men, w ho may take part in any or all of th r eve nts scheduled.

The mile, the two m ile run and the j aveli.n throw are not included in the program of events.

There is a possibility that the one-mile run wlll b e s taged if s uffic ient interes t in the event is displayed.

Looking over the field at present, it looks as though the Frosh have the edge on the others with su ch men as Abney, Flynn, Bernard and Feuhlen. Peyton is expected to do the mile for the Frosh. H owever, the dash men, in that group, Abney a nd Flynn will run into some pretty stiff opposition from Karr of the Sen iors and Red H arding, the Sophomore speed merchant.

The Juniors have probably the g loo mies t prospect of all, sin ce t he ir number is small and their track m en but few.

It is probable that th e doughty president of tbe class, Bob Sprietzer, will head the contingent of Junior class hopefuls.

It has been sugges t ed tb a t th e Day Students be a llowed the option of enterin g a team f rom that g roup as a who le, or one from each class as t he Re sident students will do. Meany has not yet been r each ed to disc uss this question, it is probable th ough, th a t the optional choice will be derued and tbat th e Day Students wil l be required to t eam up with their res ident class mates.

A W A RDE D H ONOR The Teache rs College N ews, "Paper Of Student Opinion And Comm ent" of Charleston, I llinois , has been awarded All-Am erican Ruling by th e National Scholastic Press Association sponsored by th e University of Minneso t a.

This was th e second honor ac co rd ed th e NEWS, s ince in March it was awarded firs t p lace ln the Columbia Scholastic Press A ssoc iation contest, sponsored by Columbia University.

C RIT I QUE D ear Ed itor, In th e course of th e pas t year, a most regr ettable omission has been made by the VIA TORIAN. It had becom e acc u s tom that those whose achievements in classwo rk were s ufficiently high should receive recognition in the hono r roll which the Coll ege paper featured.

Rewards from high scholastic honors are few and far bet ween. Th e s tud ent must be content with the satisfaction that he de rives from a task well done.

There is, n ecessarily, none of the fanf are accorded him that accompanies the caree r of the ath letic-to which that gentleman is t horou ghly entitled. The only publlc r ecognition high mental attainments received is usually limited to t he ho nor r oll. When that is omitted there is ~ injustice done to t hose who have merited, by hard work and native ability. a placeon it.

There is an effort being made by th e Coll ege authorities to answer the demand fo r a summer session of the College. YVhether it will be given de· pends on the number of those desiring such a course and the particular subjects available. Courses in Economics, English and Education will probably be the principal studieR offered. At 'the present time it is not definitely decided whether or not the session will be held.
