Getting one of the earliest starts of any orga- nization at M. H. S. is our Dramatic Club, a favorite with students and teachers alike. Or- ganized to promote interest in dramatics, it is well supported by a large number of students. Favorite feature of the Club is its monthly meetings, when a portion of the organization entertains with acts, skits, jokes. and even mi- nor programs. As hgood materialn is usually produced, this is greatly enjoyed by all con- cerned. This year the production was i'Peg Ol My Heart, a story involving a poor Irish lass and her stay with relatives in the city. Unknown to her, a large sum of money had been be- queathed to her by her uncle. When her rela- tives, who, although aristocratic, owned next to nothing, hear of this fortune, they change their contemptuous attitude in regard to their Irish cousin. The son of the family, Aleric, even proposes marriage in hope of cashing in on the money. But at the last moment, im- pending tragedy is averted, and Peg marries her true lover. Officers of the Club this year were Walfred Peterson, President, Nancy Hodgson, Vice President, Bill Matthews, Treasurerg and Nancy Hartz, Secretary.
