The requirement for admission into the club is satisfactory participation in some dramatic effort of the school curriculum, such as the junior play, the senior play, or operetta, or some public speaking work, such as the Prize Speaking Contest held in lune. The club has grown since its organization until now it has thirty-five members. At the first meeting of the year Miss George took up instruction in stage make-up. Later after the initiation of aspirants who had participated in the senior play, The Rivals, the activities of the Wig and Rouge really commenced. A float, decorated by various club members, represented the society in the local N.R.A. parade. The theme of the float was based on the two characters, Pierrot and Pierrette, who were the French adaptation of The Italian Harlinguinadef' the foundation for dramatic art in the occiclental countries. During the second semester the members worked on a project which was com- pleted in March. The exhibit included a miniature stage setting with complete lighting equipment, curtains, stage setting and puppets, which will be on display in the library. Miss George also took up a thorough study of the one-act play. Before the Wig and Rouge banquet in Tune at Lakeside, Owasco, the club's last activity for the semester, the musical comedy, An Old Spanish Custom, sponsored jointly by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs and the Wig and Rouge, and Prize Speaking were added to the list of the club's achievements for this school year. Wig and Rouge officers for 1933-1934 are Caroline Chalker, president, Carl Irland, secretaryg Anthony Mastroleo, treasurer, and Miss Iean George, adviser. zo ,

Officers for the year were lohn Toomey, president, Aden VanCleef, vice- president, Robert Hamilton, secretary, Donald Knox, treasurer, Florence Finn, publicity managerg Viola Minor, program chairman, Mrs. Rena Steigerwald, faculty adviser. Acanthus has had an active year. Early in the fall, work was begun on the articles for the club's annual gift sale at Christmas time. Card table covers, book marks, book covers, and pillows were made of suede by the members. At the gift sale, there was also held an exhibition and sale of lapanese wood-block prints. ln March, a benefit bridge party held in the art room, was sponsored by the club. Also in this month, something new in the art line was inaugurated in Mynderse. This was the charcoal sketch class organized by Mrs. Steigerwald that met after school once every two weeks. Its purpose was to arouse an active art interest in the school, and judging by the enthusiastic response, this purpose was realized. The classes were well attended, and students from various classes acted as models for the studies in charcoal. Through the art column in the Microphone, Acanthus has kept the school in- formed of its activities and aims. Also, art news and topics ot interest to students of Mynderse have been published in this column. In lune, the annual banquet will be given in honor of the seniors, featured by speeches by members of the club and the presentation of farewell gifts to the members who will be lost to the club through their graduation later in the month. This social event will bring the year to a successful close. 22
