This was an nounced at the first meeting of the organization in the Auditorium on September 30. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the new students to the club activities, to stimulate interest, and to discuss plans for the fall term. "The Alchemist" will be pro duced in modern dress and setting. The setting will be something new to Guilford—a setting that is abstract and representative of ac tual construction. The tentative dates for try-outs will be October 17 and 18, and the performances are planned for November 21, 22, and 23. Besides this experimental pro duction, the Reveler's Club plans to have new lighting equipment for the Auditorium.

The administrating group of the club include; Eileen Murray, pres ident; Susan Walter, secretary; Dale Embich, vice-president and treasurer; Lyndal McFarland, tech nical chairman; Craven Mackie, acting department chairman; and Virginia Honea, costume and make up chairman.
