part in a four-day Performing Arts Festival, May 1-4, at the Agricul-tural

the college. Over 30 drama and music groups from New York State
participated in the program.
The main Alfred Tech contribution to the festival was centered
around a student-faculty production of the musical, "Pajama Game,"
which was presented 8:15 Thursday, May 2, and again at 9 p.m. Sat-urday,
May 4.
Featured evening performances by visiting groups included an
Olean High School production of the play, "Our Town," a Trumansvurg

High School dramatization of "The Brick and the Rose."
Other events listed on the program included a drama by a combined
jast from Colgate University and Cazenovia College, the Mixed Chorus
from the College at Geneseo, and drama by actors from State University
at Buffalo, Bennett College (Millbrook, N. Y.), the Nancy Howe Players
of Wellsville, the Agricultural and Technical Institute at Morrisville,
and the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City.
