As the curtain went up on the Dramatics Club for the year, they were preparing to enter various oratorical and speech contests. Stone Ridge was well represented by this group for they captured second place in the citywide :om- petion. Their success was inspired by the able direction of Mrs. Mary Kelly, the dramatics coach. The high point of the year was the present- ation in early May of several exerpts from Alice in Wonderland' The scenes given were Wflie Caterpillern, The Duchess and the Cook The Teapartyn, The Croquet Came , The Mock 'lurtle', and The Trial . The production rendered a clever adaptation of l,ewisClarroll's nonsensical fairytale to the enjoyment of all, And so the curtain was rung down amidst great applause after a year of successful dramatics.

UHlMlTHlfLlH Resolved: that the federal government should sustain the prices of basic farm com- modities at not less than 9042, of parity. Stone Ridge participated in four debates on this topic during the year. They debated with the other schools in the area who belong to the Washing- ton Catholic Forensic League. The record of the debating squad was excellent. For the first time, this year there were both a junior and a senior team in the debating squad. There were twojunior teams: one affirm- ative, one negative: and three senior teams: two affirmative, one negative. In addition to having a fine record for the year, the girls on the squad have learned much about the plight of the farmer and they all have definite ideas on agricultural aid. Those who like a friendly argument' cer- tainly put their aptitude to a practical purpose.

There was always stick work tobe mastered, dribbling, passing, attacking, flicking, all found their places in the 'skill tests , an added chal- lenge and incentive to the squad practices. 'When you feel you can't go any further, go a minute more,' was the daily cry. Daily practice brought its reward. The first games of the season for the Varsity were in Philadelphia, The team came home with stories of their fabulous weekend, although the one defeat by Overbrook balanced the victory over Eden Hall. Then, backed by the school, led by the cheer- leaders, the Varsity and J.V. strove for Victory with good-sportsmanship, spirit, and Fight Team Fight.
