Abraham Lincoln High School ' D e s Moines Across the Cjfootlights KiHT ■EARS AGO Sefer Greene 1 J W estrope was introduced as tlie new dramatic instructor to Lincoln High scliool. At that time Lincohi l)oasted of i)ut one dramatic ckil), hut under Sefer Greene V ' estro])e ' s excellent guidance the nnniher was increased to four separate duhs. l ' rom the senior Belasco Cluh grew the Thespian Dramatic Cluh for the 11th grade, Moliere Acteurs for the 10th grade. Dantenian Dramatic Club for the ' th grade, and the Belasco Dramatic Cluh for tlie 12th grade. These clubs studied ])lay ])roduction and at the close of each se- mester a school play was j)resented by the members. In Se])teml)er, 1933, a new course in dramatics for high .school credit was formed and the dramatic clubs were di.scontinued much to the disappointment of tho.se students who were unal)le to carry the cour.se. SkKKR (iRKKNK WkSTKOI ' K The dramatic clubs have proved pojjular and their social activities have stimulated interest in dramatics among Lincoln High .School students. .Sefer Cireene Westrope has directed many successful three-act jjlays including: Seventeen, Mother Cary ' s Chickens, Bab. Capi)y Ricks, Phe Whole Town ' s Talking, (irumpy, fhe Colonel ' s Maid. The Prince Cha]). In- side the Lines. The Lucky Break. I ' enrod, The Queen ' s Husband, Skid- ding, Mignonette, The Family Up- stairs, and The Things That Count, which was presented December 15, 1933. The Alumni Dramatic Club of Lincoln High has presented several plays under the skilled directorship of Sefer (Jreene We.strope. They were: In the Next Room, Out of the Night.

Abraham Lincoln High School Pes Moines Student • f ctivity Tickets Tlie idea of the Student Activity Ticket was sponsored in the Des Moines pu1)lic schools by Keith Donaldson, lunc ' 28, editor of the I ' lailsijlitter. Donaldson did re- search study for a year, writing; to schools for their plans and opinions on Student Activity Tickets. To keep up these hooks, students are required to l)uv one stamj) for each week at the price of 10c a stamj). They may buy one stamp every week, or they liave the ])rivi]ege of buying all eig hteen stamps at one time, which comes to a total of $1.80, for there are eighteen weeks to each semester. By buying one of tiiese activity books, the students are privileged to attend any games played by Lincoln High by merely ])resenting the book, whereupon they are admitted with- out paving, except in out-of-town games, where they may be charged a small fee. Besides this, the books admit the holder to the senior school play and the track meets, they entitle the holder to the bi-weekly school ])a])er. The Kailsplitter. and they admit the student to all ])enny movies. Prin- cipal ' eeks has estimated the value of activity books about $5.75 per .semester. The money taken in from activity books last year totaled $769.12. After the cost of printing is i)aid, the balance is turned over to the treasurer, (ioldie A. Arnold, who adds it to the gen- eral fund of Lincoln High. January Senior Social 4 ctivities .Senior Class ( iet-Together .
