Melvin. "Everybody's business is nobody's business" should, according to all tradition, apply to the organization that boasts no organization, The College Players; but does it? Did you enjoy "Post Road," the Thanksgiving play of 1938,1939? Who were the actors, the electricians, the costumers, the scenery managers, even the stage, hands? Who directed the highly successful Commencement play? Always the same answer-The College Players. You try to find the President, the Secretary, or the Treasurer in order to enroll and pay dues. You will find there "ain't no sich animals." What is it then that holds these seniors together as no organization could hope to do? Why is it possible for the senior who assists in changing the scenery in one production to be the leading character in the next one? Their motto seems to be the strictly closed-shop motto, "One for all, and all for one;" their purpose, the development of all-round dramatic artists; and the result, satisfaction to both student and audience. Of course, there is always a power behind the throne, an invisible force. In this case, the power is Miss Esther Smith of the speech department. This force and the voluntary hard work of the Players have overcome all obstacles, and have made their productions the subject of favorable comment long after the presentations are a thing of the past.
