Dramatics Although there is no regular dramatic department in the college, there has been some excellent work done in this field. Miss Austin directed and pre- sented a one act play Suppressed Desires , and the annual college play, Smil- in' Thru . Suppressed Desires is a comic satire on Freud. With Tessiana Blakeslee as Mrs. Brewster, Bernice Shile as her sister, and Dick Peck aS Stephen Brewster, it was greatly appreciated. 'tSmilin' Thru , presented March 23, was enthusiastically received. The action of the play took place in England during the time of the war. The plot is a combination of two love stories, that of Kathleen and Kenneth Wayne at the present time, and of John Cartaret and Moonyean Clare fifty years before. Outstanding among the characters was Richard Sturges,who made a lov- able and pathetic John Carteret. His blustering was highly contrasted with the Quiet dignity of Fred Goodwin as Dr. Owen. Sylvie Knothe showed real talent in her change from the dainty little Kathleen in the first act, to the matured and saddened woman in the third. Tessiana Blakeslee took the difficult role of Moonyean. George Crane and Floyd Colburn, in their portrayal of John Carteret and Dr. Owen fifty years before, showed great ability. Dick Peck took a double role, that of Jeremiah Wayne and of Kenneth Wayne. Much ofthe success of the play was due to the superior coaching of Miss Austin, and to the students who built the scenery and the costumes and flowers.

At the beginning of the fall semester a course, g Principals of Argumentationn was announced, open to all students interested in inter-collegiate debate. This course was conducted by Mr. Kirby, and the prospective debaters were taught the rudiments of argumentation and debate. g From this class the following teams were chosen: the negative, Ida Miller and ' Frank Clampiltg and the ahirmative, Carol Mason and Loren Salisbury. ' I Q 7 The question was the one chosen by the colleges in the Kansas con- ference: Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect by armed force, capital invested in foreign lands except after formal declaration of war. . The debaters first met the Pittsburg Teachers College in a practice 5 debate, and came home somewhat encouraged. After this followed much hard I work and drill on delivery under the supervision of Coach Kirby. g The process of elimination, this year, was also an experiment, in the ' form of a debate tournament. Our debaters had the misfortune of drawing I Kansas City Junior College, one of the strongest teams in the conference, and lost their first debate, thus eliminating them from further competition. This i is not Said as an alibi, however, because the grades for these debates were i among the closest of any in the tournament, and the debaters were content to Q know that they had done their best. I The outlook for next year is very bright, with two of the regular debaters Q back and several good ones coming to us from the high school. O U I 3 Page 16 l I I E .Q - ii' 'if':'U' if !

Students who desired to become members were admitted, and Ida Miller was chosen president. Through the efforts of Miss Miller, a representative float was entered in the Neewollah parade. The society, however, was very loosely organized and its real work was not definitely arranged until the latter part of January. At this time twenty-five girls met with their sponsor, Mr. A. H. Klassen, and formally organized. They selected as their official uniforms blue and gold caps, black skirts, and bright blue sweaters, adorned with gold felt pirates, The Pirate being the symbol of the Independence Junior college. The young women faithfully supported the various activities of the college, especially basketball and track. At the termination of the basketball season, the Pep Club treated the team to a banquet, in recognition of the service rendered to the college. For the purpose of raising funds for the Inkanquil, the Pep Club. aided by the Y. M. C. A., held a carnival in Nees Hall, on March 9. Here, appro- priate decorations and booths were arranged for the entertainment of a large attendance. In addition to the carnival, a superb cast of both old and new favorites presented eleven acts of vaudeville. The event was so successful that the Pirate pepsters plan to make it an annual affair.
