Dramatic Club Appoints West, Freshman, 'Winterset' Director

Breaking their precedent of relying exclusively on professional skill for directing its plays, the Harvard Dramatic Club announced yesterday that William A. West '49, a member of the entering class, had been selected to stage the spring production of Maxwell Anderson's "Winterset."

West, formerly a staff-sergeant in the Air Corps and now an entering Freshman of Winthrop House, brings to this assignment considerable Broadway experience. This will not be his first introduction to Maxwell Anderson, for he had an important role in that author's "Star Wagon."
