DRAMA CLUB THE Drama Club of Alma College was founded in l925 for the purpose of stimulating interest in student dramatics. Last year the club was an all-college organization, which was changed this year to a club of limited membership. With only nine players from last year, the Drama Club easily filled their quota of members, with waiting rolls also filled. As a result the Club has been one of the most active on the campus, presenting several Chapel productions and presenting their annual fall and spring plays, both outstand- ing successes. Prof. Carney Smith, new member of the faculty, has given outstanding help to the club, aiding in directing and giving general advice Where needed. The Alma College Drama Club is affiliated with Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic society, member- ship to which is offered to players of outstanding ability. 85 Top Row, left to right: Dane Smith, Dean Fink, Sheldon Hastings, Wil- liam Prescott, Charles Weiss, Al- fred Ienkins, Joseph Blata, Louis Ohliger, Prof. Carney Smith.
