Solemnity was the keynote of the initiation as serious-minded initiates filed quietly to the table to make their proclamation and place the plaque bearing that inscription on the table. During the impressive ceremony the retiring president Kathie Browne presented the new-ly- elected presiding officer with the FAC Constitution and the ac-companying paraphenalia neces-sary for the fulfillment of the office. Much of the work of selecting the new members was handled by the Membership Committee, under the capable guidance of Chairman Elinore Gareis.

Fred Graham, pro-ducer- director-actor of the troupe is confronted with a series of problems which turn the play into a boisterous, rollicking affair. In the Glen Players' production the part of Fred will be played by Robert Deller. Bob is a newcomer to the Glen Players and was last seen in last year's Freshmen As-sembly. The part of Fred's volatile ex-wife will be played by Gerry Hall, who was last seen in ""Annie Get Your Gun."" Penny Ortel, a new corner and fresh-man, will be seen as Lois Lane.
