i ramatics HE Grossmont Dramatics De- partment has maintained its reputation as one of the most active and interesting parts of the school. It has participated in two three-act productions and innumerable one-act plays, played important roles in the annual Christmas Pageant, and its members have built no less than five effective sets for various stage pres- entations. Following are the three-act plays produced during the year: LAFF THAT OFF A. S. B. play, produced in Nov- ember. A comedy of war time in which three pals adopt as a sister a pretty girl who, after giving them some cause for worry, justifies their confidence in her. The cast included Scott Piazzoni, Wesley Kelley, and Bill Westbrook as the pals, Grace Jamison as the girl g Mary Anne Bliss as the Mop- The sets appearing above are for LaH That Off, uP'uSi .lean Brady and RHY Fellows A.

FLY AWAY HOME The senior play, cast barely in time to make the Annual deadline, was entertainingly original treatment of the theme in which modern youth realizes that its elders may know something after all. It was written by Dorothy Bennett and Irving White. The cast follows: Marston Westbrook and Dianthe Brown as james and Nan Masters, Beverly Brott, Dorothy Beidleman, Clark Harris, and Harold Colby as the four Masters children, Elsie Reid as Penny, the housekeeper, Scott Piazzoni and Twenty-.fix
