Williams Men’s Wear Tech’s Drama Club got off to a flying start this year with sixty enthusiastic Gables and Garbos out for some real action. The first big undertaking was the “Drama Night” on November 28, in Tech. Auditorium. The three one-act plays presented were a great success. “Consolation”, with an all girl cast is a comedy show ' ing the inside story of hospital life, played by Ruth Boers, Joan Slager, Pat Browm, Joyce Schuck and Evelyn Wight. Direction was by Vivian Bruce and Edna Grobrowski. “Sparkin’ ” is a hillbilly comedy straight from the Ozarks, with a little romance which develops under family obstacles. Joanne Seed and June Rumpel had a very co-operative cast made up of Anne Burns, Rose Volhoffer, Doug Smith, and Betty Hutchison. “The Ghost of Jerry Bundler” is a tragedy filled with suspense, enacted by Glenn Sage, Bob Gooding, Bob Widdup, Dave Whitford, Jimmy Millius, Alfred Vogt, and Leonard Korchinski. With this group of “comedians,” Miss O’Conor turned out a really good production. Mr. Quarry supplied very eerie lighting effects which created the desired atmosphere. The financial results were very gratify¬ ing, as a total of $170.00 has been turned in to the Students’ Council. On January 9, this troupe presented these same plays at McLean. About Hallow ' e’en time a small program w ' as put on for the boys in the D.V.A. Drama Club gave their support with two humorous skits done by Glenn Sage, Anne Burns and Joanne Seed. These skits appeared again at the Christmas program at Tech. Congratulations go to Eva Stann and Adeline Scheske for managing the prop¬ erties and to Ethelyne Hastings, Lucille Wright, Ella Heck, Loretta Fisher, Lorene Bosch and Florence Music for a fine job of make-up. Mr. McDonald looked after the sets and Miss Messer the advertising. The romantic American comedy, “Sparkin’ ” is being entered in the Drama League Festival to be held in Darke Hall, March 4 and 5. The male lead in this cast will be played by Dave Whitford of Jerry Bundler fame. A drama party will be held in the Spring to end a busy but enjoyable year.

Newspaper work in Balfour is a big- scale activity. The staff under the capable editorship of Ilaria Francis receive assignments, and at once are on the job of covering the school. They visit hockey, basketball, and rugby games, interview celebrities, dig up gossip, take pictures, draw cartoons, get form news and generally garner the happenings of the school. When all the material is turned in, a dummy is made of the paper and it is Time: Seven-thirty. Place: The Alpha Tau Room of the Balfour Technical School. It is in these comfortable surroundings that Balfour’s industrious Cercle Francais Balfour meets every first and third Tuesday. Yes-—Le Cercle Francais Balfour, with twenty members, convinced that French is fun and out to prove it! This group represents various forms from Third and Fourth year and Special classes and is sponsored by Miss Clermont. Each meeting finds the members enjoying an evening of conversational French and making use of their increasing knowledge of that language. After the formal opening of the meeting by the president, Allan Gomez, they continue with an interesting program. French skits are acted out, French songs are sung, and Electrical Appliances for The Home ELfCTRIC then ready for the printers. Taken to the printer, a proof is made and returned to the Editor who proofreads it and makes any changes necessary. Back to the printer again for the final stage— publishing. Distribution is then taken care of by the Business Manager. The “Balforum” has reached all corners of the earth, as far as Hawaii, and in return we have received many papers from these places. Five issues of Tech’s paper have been published which have pleased students and at the same time maintained the standard that is worthy of Balfour. games are played. Their understanding of French is deepened through reading the French paper La Presse, listening to different selections from the French record library, and for the more ambitious members by writing short plays. These evenings alternate with programs of a more social nature where a lunch, pre¬ pared by the social committee, Bernice Zosiak and Kelly Krammer, is enjoyed. The executive of Le Cercle Francais Balfour elected at the first meeting, September 22, was as follows: Honorary President—Miss Clermont. President—Allan Gomez. Secretary—Trudy Woldrich. Treasurer—David Bing-Wo. Social Committee—Kelly Krammer, Bernice Zosiak. ZIPPER BRIEF CASE Made to Order Our Own Make of A-l Grain Leather. Zippers sewn into Baggage and Gar¬ ments.
