THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Play ' s the Thing is the enthusiastic statement of C. H. S. stu- dents interested in dramatics. This year the club has had a membership of fifty Juniors and Seniors. Miss Marjorie Lewis is adviser of the organi- zation. Once each month a short play and program are presented at the regular meeting. At Thanksgiving, the Dramatic Club presented a play entitled Do You Believe in Luck? which concerned the mysterious loss of an opal necklace. At this time the club was assisted by high school soloists. Another play was given for the Christmas entertainment, One Gift Above Another, which was a decided success. On January 16 Watch Your Step, Wilton was presented in the high school auditorium. The play was coached by the critic. Miss Mar- jorie Lewis, and much credit is due her for its success. The leading roles were played by Louise Suhre and Maurice Mayes. The receipts from the play were used to buy furniture for the stage, which included a table, floor lamp, and a wicker suite. At the February meeting pins for the club were selected and purchased by a number of the members. The officers for this year were: Louise Suhre, president; WilUs Repp, vice-president; Mary Bottorff, secretary, and Margaret Richman, treasurer. Top Rote: Frank Matlox, Maurice Mayes, James Hofer.

FORUM One of the oldest and best-kno vn organizations of the high school is the Forum. Its purpose is to foster interest and participation in, and knowledge of, parliamentary practice and public speaking in all its forms. Besides the programs arranged for educational and literary purposes, meetings are held occasionally for extemporaneous speeches and orations. On March 14th, in chapel. Forum presented a one-act play, The Empty Piccolo, by William Colter. The parts were played by very mod- ern Romans garbed in bathrobes and appropriate costumes. In spite of its tragic conclusion, the student-body appreciated the cleverness and orig- inality of the playwright, a student in C. H. S. Any boy who shall have made an average grade of G or above in the preceding six Mceks and has at least four credits, is eligible to become an active member of the organization. His character, habits, and scholastic standing are investigated by a secret committee ' ' ' which is appointed by the president. No student shall be elected to membership if there are three or more votes cast opposing his election. A banquet was held in the high school cafeteria on January 1 5th. Various speeches were given and candidates for the Forum were nomi- nated. The officers at present are: Willis Repp, president; James DuShane, vice-president; William Colter, secretary; Floyd Simmen, treasurer; Cal- vin Wright, sergeant-at-arms ; and Mr. William Hennessy, critic.

THE SKETCH CLUB In order that the interest and knowledge of art may he advanced in Colunihns, the Sketch Cluh of C. H. S. assisted the Columbus Art League, of which it is a Junior member, in procuring exhibits and lectures. The Sketch Club was organized in 1924 by Miss Lillian VoUand, art instructor. The club has made much progress, as it now has an enroll- ment of thirty-four members. At the meetings of the club, which are held semi-monthly, the members do outdoor sketching in fair weather. In winter months the amateur artists do sketching of figures or carving and enjoy lantern slides or talks on historic art, which are given at each meeting. Much enthusiasm was created in the club this year, since it had complete charge of the art work for the 1929 Log. The proceeds which were realized from the play Love-a-la-carte, which was sponsored by the Sketch Club, were used for the picture fund and also for an artists ' banquet, given in May. In April, the Sketch Club attended the convention held in Indianapolis for the Junior Clubs belonging to the Indiana Federation of Art Clubs. During the past year the club was ably guided by Joshua Knight, presi- dent; Dorothy Lowe, vice-president; Betty Ferry, secretary; and Ethelwyn King, treasurer. Top Row: Waller Donhost.
