41 4 llillll iilli 'umlll:A , 5 xii - 4 A This year, great interest was shown by one of our seniors, Ann Daniel, in starting a Dramatics Club. Under the direction of Ann Daniel, and the sponsorship of Mrs. Hourihan and Miss Lind, the Dramatics Club was born in late July, with Ann elected president, Candace Gibbs, vice-president and Marcia Florio, secretary iibrarian. Mem- bership was confined to juniors and seniors. The major production this year was The Tender Edge, given in an assembly for the student body, and it proved a successful first attempt. The many members have displayed great interest in its activities, and stem- ming from this interest have been associated with activities outside the jurisdiction of the club. Shakespearianna, a group of Shakespearian actors, extended to us an invita- tion to see them perform, but it never materialized. A fund raising campaign is planned by the officers to get next year's club off to a good start. Although still in its infancy, this club has proven a great success, and we hope it will be a permanent fixture in the future years at the American School.

Smiling Reception Committee members await the arrival of new students. Publicity Committee The Publicity Committee was organized at the beginning of the year as a special com- mittee to publicize school activities. The com- mittee turned out many gay posters for the Sock Hop, the Shangri-La dance, Hernando's Hideaway and the many other parties given by the Dance Committee. During the basketball season, members made posters almost weekly to boost student interest in the games. Aside from this type of work, the committee was also asked to plan the redecoration of the canteen. They decided on a green and white decor with menu cards, banners, and pictures. The rear walls of the canteen were reserved for posters, Christmas decorations, and art dis- plays. All agreed it was a job well done. Members: Priscilla Litwin, Chairmang Kaye Fisher, Vice-Chairmang Marsha Frameg Tim Kendallg Dan Callejag Wilma Braatg and Ray Domingo. Reception Committee The work of the Reception Committee got under way at the beginning of the year with Pat Harrington as chairman, and with a com- mittee of seven. Vice-chairman Marie Ander- son, became chairman when Pat departed shortly before the end of the first semester. The committee worked to make all new students welcome. Member greeted new ar- rivals, helped them find their way around, and introduced them to fellow students. They worked hard at a job which, in part, belongs to every student in the American School. Members: Kaye Fisher, Gil Cepeda, Marion Pulver, Fred Burns, and Jim Danisch. Tim, Dan, Kay and Pris cut-up during a poster making SGSSIOII.
