DRAMA KatherineJ. Burns One can never tell how successful a dramatic venture will be. Although few members of either of the classes of 193 1 could be credited with much experience in acting, they tried their skill. Their remarkable success was largely due to the unceasing efforts during the strenuous weeks of rehearsal of their dramatic director, Miss Katherine J. Burns. Each Senior class was given two chances to be the center of attraction; and, in spite of all her experience and knowledge, it was indeed a difficult task for Miss Burns to select casts from the host of hopeful, enthusiastic applicants. That the January Class of 1951 was one of unusual dramatic ability was evident in its side-splitting perform- ance of Nothing But the Truth. More laurels were added to the alreadv filled trophy shelf of the class through its superb interpretation of the much-postponed, long- looked-for farce, Pigs. The first presentation of the June Class of 1951, Pbillipa Gets There, bore out the fine promise the class had shown in its try-outs and rivaled all the plays of the past for delicacy in portrayal; but even that fine showing was over- shadowed by the second presentation of the June class, a humorous western drama. Going Some. Although the student body is smaller than it was last vear, the success of the newly formed Dramatic Club gives promise of still greater achievement in the drama of the future. This truly successful year is worthy of our understanding teacher and friend, Miss Katherine Burns. 75
