One meeting has been held each month and better plays have been presented to the girls and their guests. The membership remained at forty members. There were several vacancies to be filled besides taking in six new freshmen. The new members were taken in by tryouts which were held at the beginning of the year. The first play given was The Kelly Kid, of one act, in November. December brought our Christmas play, Bethlehem',, which was presented in the evening to a very large and attentive audience. 'Practically the whole club took part in this play and we feel that it has been one of our largest successes. Then came Bargains in Cathayv, of one act. It was given before the members of the club and their guests and also before the Rotary Club. Our big play, Skeet , was very successfully presented on March 4. The scene for this comedy-mystery was on a ranch in the cliff-dwellers district in Arizona. The ranch had been leased by a wealthy Eastern lady and was run by the foreman, Skeet. There were many good laughs as well as several mystifying incidents, The cast was as follows: Henry Sanders fSkeetj, henpecked husband ...... ...........,, D orothy Kemper.

At the April meeting, there will be talks given by members as to helping make our club a better one for the coming year, and a round-table discussion will be held. Through the Dramatic Club, the Aurora High School is joining a National Dramatic Order, the National Thespians. Membership will be awarded considering dramatic work done as well as scholarship, The members taken in for the remainder of this year will consist of about ten Senior and Junior girls. New members from other classes will be admitted at the beginning of the year. The year will close when the girls entertain their Mothers at a Spring Tea, April 26. We are planning this to end the work in our club, as having made a most enjoyable and successful year. P ge Fzfly-five if ' ,mmf '1-'ff 5
