Dramateers Present Spring Production On Saturday night, April 10, in the College Auditorium the Dram ateers will present the spring pre sentation ‘Death Takes a Holiday,’ by Alberto Castella. This play is based on the poetic conception of death suspending all activities for three days during which period he falls in love with a beautiful girl, and through her he realizes why mortals fear him. The mood of this play is established with re markable skill and while it ii charged with exciting moments, it is a perfect background for a love story that is as simple as it is appealing. The cast will include the following: John Scalf, Iris Porter, Katherine Phillips, Phil Weeks, Charlie Wilson, Lois Kel ler, Prank Goslen, Bill Smith, Jeanne Alexander, Clyde Moody, and Doris Carter. On February 5, in the college auditorium with an elaborate ceremony of Shakespearean verse and flickering lights the Drama teers initiated the following mem bers: Jean Ferguson, Anna Owen, Bill Smith, Jeanne Alexander, The Mars Hill College band will present a concert of varied music this evening at eight o’clock in the College auditorium.

Fol lowing the concert, a reception will be held for the band members and their dates. The college and student body are indebted to the band for its excellent service this year. Mr. Hall and the students have worked diligently to produce a band of which the college can be proud. During the football season the band furnished worthwhile enter tainment at the half-time inter mission as well as during the game. The band members, in their ■ snappy blue and gold uniforms, traveled with the football team to other schools, whenever possible, to give our players moral support and to establish the fact that Mars Hill College has a band. It has also participated in several parades, including the Armistice Day parade in Asheville. For these services the college and the gen eral public express their apprecia tion. The concert this evening will ac quaint many students with an activity of the band they never knew existed. This evening’s pro gram will be carried to many’ schools in Western North Carolina in the Spring.
