Speech and Dramatics Here we see some students of drama actively engaged in the work of make-up-one of the skills taught in this course. The speech and dramatics class this year has twenty-five students- fifteen of these are seniors and the rest are juniors and sophomores. It is a lively and interesting class, with a great de-al of talent. They have presented a number of assembly programs, one of which was a collection of original readings given by the student himself. Miss Bainbridge thor- oughly enjoys teaching dramatic work, and she has given these students fine training in making public appearances and presenting programs.
