For the next two meetings, one- act plays are being prepared. By having these the program com mittee intends to Include every member In this type of program.

This Is a good opportu nity for all who are interested in dramatics, but have not yet made a start. It is alao an excellent time for freshmen to make their debut.

In addition to acting, this spring, the Little Theatre intends to build a good set of scenery and improve the lighting facilities. Yes. the Meredith College Little Theatre is really going places In dramatics this year under the ejc- oellent leadership of its president, Carolyn Critcher.
