Dramatic Club The ur ose of the Dramatic Club is to roduce Good la s and to stimulate P P P C P Y in the school an interest in dramatics. Future members must either take part in a play successfully or show exceptional ability in writing plays. The club carried out at least part of its purpose in producing MSeventeen,', thought to be one of the best acted plays ever produced at East Tech. John Edwards, as Willie, was again a lovesick youth and was lcd a merry chase by the fair baby talk ladyw nee Greenbaum. Lola Prentice, as Mrs. Baxter, the stately and dignified matron of the Baxter household and sympathetic mother of Willie, had ample cause for becoming exasperated with the impish Jane tlVlarie Pieriel who insisted on spilling the beansn for Willie. Clare Klopfer, as the portly Mr. Parcher, fur- nished everyone with genuine amusement in his helpless tirade against the baby talk ladyf, He doubtless would have been greatly comforted had he known that the sympathy of the audience lay with him. The club has a meeting once every month and aims to attend a good legitimate play at least once every term. FALL TERM OFFICERS SPRING TERM Richard Hladik ....,i, ,,tt,,,,,....

W .UNE BU? T 'NF I I U if ... The Musical Union u The Musical Union is an organization composed of the Band, the Orchestra, and the Girls' and Boys, Glee Clubs. The Band, most active in the fall, played at all the Football games during the season. It also traveled to Toledo with the team. The ovation they received at the game at Scott Field was the greatest that the Band ever received. A special note of it was made by the Toledo papers. A series of afternoon concerts given by the Musical Union also received praise. The Band concerts seem to have been more popular than those given by the orchestra. The object of the concerts is to give the students of the school a chance to hear good music at a small cost and to enjoy better music without going in for the heavy classical pieces. The Orchestra, combined with one of the Glee Clubs and alternating turns with the Band and the other Glee Club, has shown its worth by producing several of the more dillicult symphonies. It is well to note that the Tech orchestra contains several instruments not used by any other school orchestra in our city. The Girls' and Boys, Glee Clubs were especially well received at the first evening concert of the year, given January 18. The boys sang several selections, the most popular of which was Swing Alongf, The girls appeared in Japanese costumes and sang some Japanese songs. The most important event of the Musical Union year was the operetta given May 24 and 25. Serpolette, the good-for-nothing girl, and her lover, Jean Greni- cheux, portrayed by Hazel Jones and Willard Maltby respectively, were very enter- taining in their pretended dignity. The very noble and brave Henri, Marquis of Cornevilleg Germaine, the adopted niece of old Gaspard, and really the Long Lost Marchionessg and Gaspard, the old miser, were very line. John Edwards seems to have been able to add years to his 6'Seventcen', and be the Marquis, an adven- turer well informed to the ways of the world. Sybell Johnson, as the Lost Marchio- ness, protrayed her part as Germaine with such ease that it was not difficult for the villagers to love her. Adolph Gockel showed fine dramatic ability during the second scene where he went crazy. The chorus did well in spite of the handicap of a small number of members. The scenery was the most elaborate that has ever been used for any musical pro- duction in this school and gave excellent atmosphere to the operetta. For accom- paniment, no other orchestra would have given us the satisfaction our own gave or worked so- long at rehearsals with the chorus in order to bring it out to best advantage. are J ,ull 6 3 Fifteen
