Pi Delta llteta I ' m very happy to present this fine group, whose many activities were highlights of the year, says Gruff y. Pi Delta Theta was organized for the production of plays, development of social relations, encouragement of school spirit, and production of appreciation for dramatic work and literature. The activities of this group included presenting the three-act play Forever Albert, sponsoring the Christmas pageant, being hosts to the state speech festival on April 4 and 5, having a formal Christmas dance, initiating new members into Pi Delta Theta, and conducting the initiation of Delta Psi Omega. The officers this year were : president, Jean Bell ; vice president, Carol Seglem; secretary, Frank Highberger; treasurer-business manager, Jer- ald Darnold ; and student council representative, Charles Brown. Mr. L. W. Nixon is sponsor of Pi Delta Theta. At the State Speech Festival, held in El Dorado April 4, Hutchinson presented the one-act play The Pot Boiler, at a combined assembly for high school and junior college students. Actors in the farce are pictured here, with a section of the aud- ience. HK

D ama I hated to see the curtain come down on these two successful dramatic ' productions, says Gruffy; The director and the players certainly deserve a lot of credit for presenting these two fine plays. On November 15, 1951, Director L. W. Nixon presented a three-act comedy Forever Albert. The one-act play Dust of the Road was El Dorado ' s entry in the one-act play contest of the state speech festival for junior colleges, held April 4 at El Dorado. The director and cast of Dust of the Road : Bill Moore as The Uncle, Director L. W. Nixon, Carol Seglem as Prudence Steele, David Jolliffe as Peter Steele, and Jerald Darnold as the Tramp. 28

Anyway, I surely did enjoy sneaking up- stairs to listen in when the chorus sang, declares Gruffy. The chorus met two evenings a week, Monday and Thursday. The outstanding activity of the chorus this year was participating in an im- pressive Christmas program. The chorus officers were: president, Wesley Pletcher ; vice-president, Dave Ferman ; secretary-treasurer, Judy Lehr; librarian, Bob Burch. 30
