The L- nited States government also sees a threat in the Common Market, Int it is of a different nature._ Al though this country played a signi- fi ant part in the formation of the Snmon Market, it is aware that tlie success of the Common Market could shake the foundations of this nation’s economy.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND PRESENTED On November 19 and 20 the Thankgiving play, Alice in IFon- derland, was presented by the Dra matics Club, Orchesis, and the Glee Club. Everyone seeing the play was taken through his second childhood as the characters danced, sang, and jiortrayed the little creatures that were actually a part of the imagi nation of a little girl named Alice. In the words of Lewis Carroll when he wrote the play in 1862, “Alice! A childish story take And with a gentle hand Lay it where Childhood’s dreams are twined In Memory’s mystic band. Like pilgrims’ withered wreath of flowers Plucked in a far off land.” Guitar Class Announced In response to student interest in the quitar which he has aroused with his hobby of folk singing, hlr. Shellans has announced that he in tends to start a guitar class at St. Alary’s. All interested students are asked to see Mr. Shellans in order to arrange a time most convenient for all. Although Monday at 9:30 A.M. has been tentatively selected, this time is subject to change. Mrs. Bailey forms New Dance Group Another dance group will be joining Orchesis to meet the needs of those girls advanced beyond Airs. Bailey’s regular dance classes. The “Caperettes” as they will be called, will be made up of girls who show a real interest and marked proficiency in tap dan'eing. Tap dancing, promoted by the abilities of such masters as Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, is not just for small girls in dancing class; it is a skill which demands precise rhythmn and small muscle activity for one to be proficient. There has been interest in a tap- dancing group on campus for about a year; but Airs. Bailey says that while the group is still “at the talk ing stage,” it will become a reality very soon. At the beginning the “Caperettes” will meet one hour a week, probably Alonday from 5:00- 6:00 P.M., with an initial member ship to be increased later. Cydne AATight has been elected president, with Judy Rhodes serving as secre tary-treasurer. First tryouts will be held in the gym on Alonday £it 5:15 P.M.
