The dramatic season at St.
Ignatius will open in the College
Little Theatre on the evening of
October 26 with the presentation of three one-act plays, to be
staged under the direction of
Father Cody, S.J., Director of
Dramatics.
For the first time in several
years all-student casts will be
employed, the actors in the
pieces being drawn from all the
classes, even down to the lowly
frosh.
Wide Appeal
Each of the sketches, although
all  fall   under   the   head   of   the
Little Theatre movement, has a
distinct appeal of its own.
"Pyramus and Thisbe", in
which upper classmen will hold
forth, is a low comedy hit from
"Midsummer Nights' Dream",
rewritten and unified by Father
Cody himself in such a way as to
satisfy the time limits of the one-
act play.
"The Crow's Nest" is a realistic thing with all the modern
trappings, and a novel turn that
gives it point. The frosh get
their opportunity in this, as in
the other unit on the program,
"The Reveller", although here
the lead is carried by Edmund
Tessier, a senior. This latter
sketch is built around a legendary incident in the life of St.
Francis.
Tickets On Sale
Mr. Coffey, S.J., who is managing the finance as well as the
stage crew, has placed blocks of
tickets with each class president,
and asks that final returns be
made by October 21.
As this performance will be the
maiden effort of the newly formed
college players, the student
bodies are pledging their unanimous support.
The personnel of the casts has
been announced as follows:
In    "The Crow's Nest",    Leo
(Continued on  Page  2,  Col.  3)
The college Glee Club, formed
at the suggestion of Rev. H. J.
Flynn, S. J., Dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences, is already
in active rehearsal under the direction of Mr. Robert Sanjorge,
Professor of Spanish.
Some twenty fellows have
turned out for the first few meetings, and will make their first
public appearance on October 26,
when they will collaborate with
the student players in the program to be presented that night.
The present plan is for the
Glee men to open the bill, render
several selections throughout the
course of the evening, and to finish the program with another
vocal number.
Already Director Sanjorge is
preparing a purely Glee Club
performance which he hopes to
produce either late in November or during the Christmas
season.

Liberal Arts Building
Formally Dedicated
Formal dedication of the new
College of Liberal Arts building
was performed on Sunday afternoon, October 9, by His Grace,
Archbishop Edward J. Hanna.
Simplicity marked the ceremony,
which included the special ritual
followed on such occasions.
The dedication took place at
5 o'clock, in order to allow those
who had attended the S.I.-Santa
Clara game earlier in the afternoon to be present at the occasion.
The size of the crowd necessitated the use of the Little
Theatre Auditorium as a chapel,
and even with this extra space a
large number of visitors were
forced to stand out in the corridors.
The executive board of the
College of Law and Commerce
has announced October 22 as the
date for the Freshman Reception
dance in the college auditorium.
As this is the first dance to be
held by this department in the
new building, a large crowd is
expected.
This has been decided as the
opportune time for founding new
traditions, and the committee has
been working hard to establish by
this dance a precedent that
coming classes will find difficult
to equal.
The success of the previous
dances held in our auditorium has
indicated the popularity of the
new building in other lines than
intellectual, and the dances held
there bid fair to make it the social
center of San Francisco college
life.
All Students Invited
Admittance  will   be  restricted
absolutely to holders of student
body cards, a policy which will be
fostered whenever possible.
A cordial invitation has been
extended to all departments of
the college. Don't forget Saturday night, October 22. Bring
yourself, your girl, and your Associated Students card.
Conrad Hubner is chairman of
the committee managing the
dance, and is being assisted by
Joseph Bussman and Walter
Daley.
The Gray Fog varsity is accorded the edge in its last home
game of the season before the big
Loyola bust late in November.
The Ninth Army Corps will be
the opponents in the last stand,
so, although an edge may be
granted, the game is still going to
be a battle.
The biggest Ignatian edge will
be in the punting department, as
Johnny Knopp and Jimmy Barron are figured to easily out-boot
the soldier kickers, who have not
gotten off three perfect punts all
season.
Line Play Better
From end to end the Fogmen
are expected to outshine the Jar-
heads, especially at end and
tackle, where the soldiers are
rumored to be weak.
The Army punch rests largely
in its backfield, with Lieutenant
Gilmore, Gannuzzi and Trapnell
figuring as the big threats.
It is hoped that all the Ignatian
cripples will be ready for Sunday's melee.
After this clash the Fog sweeps
down on the Cal Aggies, Pacific,
and Fresno State, and then returns home to rest up before the
two-city classic on Thanksgiving
Day.

Debating Under Way
Since the semester began the
members of the Philhistorian Debating Club have been fortunate
enough to have some good debates, among the most prominent
questions settled being these following: Resolved, that ocean
flights should be restricted, and
that St. Ignatius College should
be restricted to women students
only.
Campus rumor has it that the
next new sudent organization to
be fostered will be a college band.
Some years ago St. Ignatius College boasted of a first class brass-
toting group, but lately the idea
has fallen into neglect.
The authorities responsible for
the rumor promise a more amplified statement for our next issue.
