Sponsor EMBERSHIP in the Sages was greatly anticipated by the students of Hughes 1924, and such enthusiasm was shown that the first meeting was held as early as the nineteenth of September. There were many applica- tions, but since our membership was limited to eighty, we have had a constant waiting list. This state of affairs enables us to select the earnest and con- scientious workers of the school, who give their diligent services and co-operation fcr the advancement of the club. The purpose of our organization is to develop our talent and appreciation for good literature and we attempt to promote this understanding in an attrac- tive and interesting fashion. Our work, for the present year has been devoted to the one-act play. In our November meeting reports were made on the child poet, Hilda Conkling, followed by a play by Marie Dix, entitled Allison's Lad. A fantasy, The Maker of Dreams, by Oliphant Downs, was pre- sented at the December meeting. In January The Last of the Lowriesf' one of the North Carolina folk plays, was given and at the next meeting we were entertained by Mrs. Richardson, who gave for us several dramatic readings. Our last and best effort was an Evening of Plays, prepared for our parents and teachers on the twenty-eighth of March. For this occasion two short stories were dramatized: Stevenson's Sire de Maletroit's Door by William Thomas, and O'Brien's The Golden Ingot, by William Schmidt. In addition,Jeannette Newman contributed an original play entitled, Our Son. Such programs and entertainments as we have given would tax the ability and stamina of any organization, but our members have put forth their best efforts, and now, at the end of the year, we feel that we have added our quota to the building up of the ideals and traditions of the Sages. A great deal of credit is due to Miss Kruckemeyer, whose able supervision of our work we very much appreciate. We bequeath to our successors of 1925 this record, with the hope that they may carry on the work with the same spirit that has so success- fully guided us through our too short existence. DAVID E. WESSELMANN, '24, One hundred serenieen
