The first two plays are comedies. and the last one is a serious drama. All the actors and actresses in these plays appeared for the lirst tin1e, with the exception of Jack Kuhn and Keith Evans, who are veterans of the stage. The Burlingame Mummers' Club and our Playmakers' Club exchanged programs. One Tuesday, March 17, after school, Playmakers presented the Minuet, by Parker, at the Burlingame Little Theatre. The cast was as followsz: Marquis-.lack Burke, Marchenisse-Jessie Merrilies, Jailer- Domonick Chinelli. The Minuet is written in verse, the story is set at the time of the French revolution. The play portrays the unemotional but loyal side ol' the aristoerats of that period. After this play was given, Burlingame supplied music and refreshments. Everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time. A little later, on the afternoon of Friday, March 27, the Burlingame Mummers' Club came over to San Mateo and presented Ile, by Eugene O'Neill. The play was excellently done, in spite of the fact that they had rather hard luck with one important member of the cast who was taken ill at the last minute, another boy had to fill in. Ile is the story of of the hardships of the whaling ships, portraying.g the pride of the captain of the vessel. After this play was presented, there was dancing in the library. Keith Evans' orchestra supplied the music, and refreshments were served. The club has had a very successful semester, and has enjoyed some interesting programs at the meetings. lTl1e Elm 1

Debating offers a wide field of endeavor for the argumentative student. Our two teams started their first season very successfully. Un XVednes- day, March 3, San Mateo defeated both San Jose's and Palo Alto's debating teams. San Mateo's affirmative team debated at San Mateo with San Jose's negative team. Their negative team debated at Palo Alto with Palo Alto. Members of the affirmative team were: Clement Hall and Jesse Feldman. Frances Young and Bob Elfving composed the negative team. The subject of the debate was: Resolved-That the Thirteen Month Calendar Should Be Adopted Universallyf' San Mateo defeated San .lose by two out of three votes, and defeated Palo Alto by three out of three votes. On April 16, San Mateo's two teams debated Girls' High. Members of the teams were: .Iesse Feldman and Herbert Goldman, affirmative, Frances Young and Hassel Smith, the negative team. The subject of the debate was: Resolved-That Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished in the State of California. The members of the debating team debated the same subject on April 22. San Mateo's affirmative tealn debated Los Gatos at San Mateo, and San Mateo's negative team debated Sequoia at Sequoia. Since the debate with Girls' High was an informal debate, no decision was rendered. After the debate the A. G. S. Hospitality Department served the debaters and teachers with tea in the A. G.
