Merger Planned
For Thespians,
Masquerettes
A decision to merge Thespians,
men's musical comedy society.
and Masquerettes, women's musi
cal comedy group, into a single
organization has been made by
members of the two groups,-Rich
ard Brugger, Thespian president,
has-announced.
Under the merging plan Thes
pians will stand under its present
organizational setup with ' Mas
querettes being dissolved and its
members initiated into the for
merly • all-male society,, Brugger
said. Initiation will be held May 6.
"We felt that some merger was
necessary," he said. "For several
years women have been doing an
equal job with the men on Thes
pians' productions without equal
recognition." They were never a
part of the. actual organization
which puts on musical -comedy
shows on campus, he said.
Thespians presents two shows
each-year with member's choosing
the playS to be presented and
supervising the choice of persons
to' work on those plays.
One of the oldest organizations
on campus, Thespians may have
started when the College was
founded, Brugger said. Until 1941
women .were not permitted to act
in or work on Thespian showi.
