20 THE TRIDENT qw W! -0 y Il f ,, WA 2 0 Q.. 014 Dramatics Club The Dramatics Club was organized in the spring of 1934 with Miss Arlene Wray as adviser. The mem- bership consists of the Junior Speakers and a chosen few. The aim of this club is to present one-act plays for assembly programs, and to handle all dramatic activities of the school. The officers for this year are: president, Spofford Avery, vice president, Asa Blanchard, secretary- treasurer, Julia Moore. The plays presented during the year 1936 are as follows: Household Hints, a one-act play, was given on October 30, 1935. Those participating were: Charles Barry, Robert Goodwin, Lucille Maddocks, and Mil-- dred Robertson. Thanks Awfully, a one-act play, with a large cast of characters, was presented in November. Listen in on the Campus, a three-act play, was presented at the football social held on December 12, 1935. Radio plays were regularly presented each month at WLBZ. A contest play was presented March 25, 1936, which was in competition with N. H. Fay High School, Ellsworth High, Bar Harbor High, and Orono High. Brewer presented the play, The Blue Tea- pot. The students participating in this contest were: Spofford Avery, Stuart Gerry, Lucille Matthews, and Patricia Smith. Cheer Leaders Our football team made a fine showing this year. Much credit goes to the group that cheered very faithfully and incited the spectators to cheer harder for the Orange and Black. This group also aroused the interest of the students by their work in our rallies. These cheer leaders were: Thelma Chute, Gladys Ivers, Gramp McLaughlin, Lucille Mad- docks, Barbara Winslow, and Margaret Witham. The alternates were: Pat1'icia Smith, Louise Osgood, and Katherine Hyson. The color effect of their costumes was very striking. They wore white with Orange and Black sweaters. Pk bk ls Pk ik School Dances The Senior class of the previous year introduced to the student body a very new, but enjoyable fea- ture. They advocated more social gatherings and dances at Brewer High School. This year few Fri- day nights have passed when there has not been a school social which has been attended by a large majority of the students. The dances have been very successful and should continue. Chaperons have always been present at the activities, being received graciously by the students.

THE TRIDENT 19 basketball teams, for two of its members, Clinton Cosseboom and Shirley Corey, made the squad in their Freshman year. Clinton Cosseboom starred in several games. When the Penobscot Fish and Game Association conducted an essay contest on The Preservation of Fish and Game, four out of the live essays chosen from Brewer High were written by members of the class of 1939. The upperclassmen will have to admit that we can write themes. The winning Freshmen were: Frederick Champion, Shirley Corey, John Houston, and Hughene Phillips. Shirley Corey was fortunate enough to capture one of the five dollar prizes. It is the aim of almost every pupil to make the cherished Honor Roll. However, not all of us can attain this distinction, for if we did the upperclass- men would have to take our share of low marks. Far be it from us not to shoulder our own loads, Those students who did receive all A's and B's were as follows: Zelda Baker, Nina Bates, Katherine Bearce, Corinne Campbell, Edward Connor, Shirley Corey, Clinton Cosseboom, Lucille Dougherty, Imo- gene Getchell, Willard Hall, Eleanor Hanson, Dorothy Mitchell, Eileen Hatch, Beverly Leonard, Virginia Moran, Lillian Nelson, Irene O'Connor, Lucille Pooler, Dolores Sherman, Lydia Verrow, Beulah Patten, Hughene Phillips, Marion Rand, Virginia Roberts, Margaret Stairs, Reginald Strout, Lorraine Watters, Velma VVeart, and Florence Young. Our class is also well represented by some promis- ing young musicians. The following members of the class play in the band: lVlalton Baudanza, Robert Carrigan, Clinton Cosseboom, Wellington Hamel, and John Houston. The Freshman members of the orchestra are Zelda Baker, Clinton Cosseboom, Thais Downs, and John Houston. The Freshmen also have some prospective de- baters in Katherine Bearce and Paul Howard, both of whom made the debating squad. Great oaks from little aeorns growf' Last Sep- tember we were acorns, but now we have progressed far as we near the end of the first quarter of our growth. Before we join the giant forests of sturdy oaks, we intend to make a showing of which our principal. teachers, parents, and school will be proud. Shirley Corey, '39. TRIDENT BOARD
