'HIL jim, Lclmlalb, Q Stagg A new organization at Bethel High School this fall was the Drama Club under the leadership of Miss Colden. After spending some time preparing and delivering pantomimes and mono- logues, the group advanced to a new duty of selecting and producing one-act plays for assemblies under student direction. To give training in dramatic expression, each girl was asked to take the part of Katherine and each boy the part of Petruchio in the quarrel scene of 'Taming of the Shrewv by XVilliam Shakespeare. The study of the technical side of acting Was also included through the con- sideration of the arrangement of stage settings and the application of make-up. Qfzama, Klub Beacon - 29
