THE 1931 SPI-IINX The Playmakers The Playmakers is composed of members of the three upper classes and those members of the Freshman Class who have taken part in dramatic club activities. During the past year the club had complete charge of the Christmas Program, at which time it presented a very amusing comedy, Susan Gregg's Orphans. It also contributed a sketch to the Book Week assembly program. At present the members are concentrating their efforts on Come Out of the Kitchen, which is to be given in May. A portion of the proceeds of this production will be used to purchase equipment for the club and the balance will go toward the expenses of a theatre party for the members. The purpose of The Playmakers is to make a study of the construction and inter- pretation of the modern play. To accomplish this, criticisms and reports of plays and motion picture productions are given at the semi-monthly meetings. The advisers of the club are Miss Albach and Miss Morgan. 73

THE 1931 SPHINX The Debate Club C This year the Rutgers Interscholastic Debating League was disbanded, so a new league has been organized. Roselle has joined the group consisting of Cranford, Roselle Park and Scotch Plains. The winner of this group meets the winner of the other group of Union County schools to determine the champion of the league. The question decided on for debate was, Resolved: That chain stores aredetrimental to the best interests of the American people. On March 6th, at Roselle, the varsity team consisting of Saul Buc, Carolyn Chance, Winifred Masterson and Helen Desmarais, defeated Scotch Plains in their first league debate by a 3-O vote. The next league debate with Roselle Park was won by the same team by a 2-1 vote on March 23rd, at Roselle. On Monday, March 30th, the team went to Cranford for its last league debate to determine the champion of our half of the league. Roselle lost this debate in a very close contest by a 2-1 vote. Other debates also were scheduled with teams which are not in the league to give more experience to the members of the squad. This year the team has been fortunate in having the services of Miss Sterling, who has been of great assistance to Mr. Peeling in coaching the teams. .75
