- o-c HILLTOP WORKSHOP The main purpose of the Hilltop Workshop for the last two terms has been not merely to present plays, but to get an appreciation of art and life through the drama. The members were able to get a glimpse into the lives of great characters that they otherwise would js ' ; not have received. The Fall Workshop gave three productions: The Initiation Ceremony; three nne-act plays, and the Christmas Festival. In the Initiation each member gave a speech that he had selected from some well-known play. The three one-act plays presented were: The Re- hearsal, Dust of the Road, The Boy Comes Home, and an interlude, The Rising of the Moon. The Christmas Festival, the most elaborate of the three productions, ended the year officially, but the term was really closed at a party given by Miss Voorhees at her home. The Spring class gave four productions: The Initi- ation Ceremony, Abraham Lincoln, three one-act plays, and The Piper. The first production for the Spring term was two scenes from John Drinkwater ' s Abraham Lincoln. The Initiation was then given, the procedure being practically the same as that of the preceding term. The three one-act plays presented were, The King ' s [{nglish, The Three Lepers, and The CJhost Story. The last production was a four-act play by Josephine Preston Peabody, The Piper. Social activities were well taken care of by a trip to the Chinese Theatre, one to the Legion of Honor Museum, and a party at the home of Miss Marrietta Voorhees. The members of the Hilltop Workshop for the last school term were: Eileen Alldridgc, Ruth Anderson, Zelma Arney, Maurice Barteau, Clyde Beery, Helen Benson, Jean Betts, Irene Bulla, Mildred Brazill, Evalyn Bursik, Ruth Carlson, James Clancy, Evelyn Corr, William Corr, Dorothy Cox, Harold Cummins, Doris Davidson, Jean Davidson, George Dean, Alma Drews, Samuel Ellenburg, Macie Farrell, Henrietta Finley, Gwendolyn Foulkes, Max Glaiberman, Margaret Graham, Marian Greene, Mildred Haslam, James Hechtman, Gladys Hobson, Bruce House, James Johnstone, Don Lovett, Gerda Lundberg, Velda Lux, Anna McDerrmott, Bob McMillan, Margaret Malone, Mary Jane Maloney, Clara Marchus, Jole Merlo, Bernhard Meves, William Muriale, William Norton, Margaret O ' Shaughnessy, Ruth Parker, Harry Peck, Tom Powers, Nan Reeves, Elbert Rhoades, Charles Roberts, Frances Rochon, Mabel Roderick, Lillian Roehrig, Tom Rogers, Harriette Romayne, Kathryn Ruby, Donald Sea, Jeanne Smith, Betty Turner, Marian 1 ' urner, Alfred Wells, Jack Wherry, Nell Wythe, Iris Young.
