The Dramatic Club The East Detroit High School Dramatic Club was first organized in September, 1937. It was formed for the purpose of giving students practical experience in the interpreting and producing of onefact plays, to promote interest in the dramatic activities of the school, and to en- courage enthusiasm for the drama in all its phases. All senior high students who are interested in the theatre in any Way are encouraged to join the club. The club has been very active this year. In No' veinber the members produced a onefact play, Anyway to Get the Votes , for the annual School Fair. For the Christmas program they entertained the entire student body with a onefact comedy, entitled Pop Reads the Christmas Carol . In January the club gave four onefaet comedies to raise funds for some much needed stage furniture. The members are now working on a night program to be given to inf crease the fund, so that the furniture may be obtained before the an' nual Senior play. Many students in the club have the final honor of acting in their class play.

l Shamrock Club Proud of its six years' standing, the Shamrock Club is one of the oldf est and most stable clubs in the school. It was organized in 1934 with Mr. C. Bratt as sponsor. Later the sponsorship was transferred to Mr. Jason Day and finally to Mr. Donald Dake, who now has charge of it. The club has grown from three people putting out a paper for pure enjoyment, to a large, well organized group, who this year has sucf ceeded in converting it into one which more nearly resembles a prof fessional newspaper. Its aims are, as they have always been, firstly, to promote interest in journalism and to give those pupils who are inf terested a chance to develop their writing ability through actual experf ience. Secondly, it attempts to give to the students the news of activf ities going on within their school and in this way to draw them closer to their school. The Shamrock Staff consists of the following officers: Gladys Van Fleet, EditorfinfChief, Dorothy Nowack, Society Editor, Ruth Rehahn, Exchange Editor, Ruth Schlott, Feature Editor, Mildred Wunderlich, Art Editor, Murray Heath, Sport Editor.
