Highlighting the productions of Fall 1953 was the presen- tation of the 3-act play, Our Town. This play, put on with no scenery or props, was the first dramatic presentation in Lincoln's new auditorium. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Wendell Lathrop, the fall public speaking students succeeded in bringing to Lincoln cups and certihcates from three public speaking tournaments, held at Stanford University, Ripon, and Oakland. Although public speaking is still something new at Lincoln, more interest is being shown every term hy the students of both Public Speaking I and Public Speaking II classes. Public speaking has a great future at Lincoln. DRAMA CLUB Fwml row: D. Plov, P. johnson, C. Bristow, D. Von Bremen, D. MacDonald. 2nd row: R. Dixon, I., Tibbetts, N. Hawkins. KI. Harrington. H.
