' Curtain Call Players Dramatics Club Dear Pete: The Dramatic Club is a new activity in our school this year. lt was thru the efforts of Miss Allison, our able advisor, that this club was created. I Our club chose for its name the Curtain Call Players. To fill the offices of our club we chose for president, Natalie Chapmang secretary, Leo Neumang and treasurer, Gwendolyn Schaller. The Dramatic Club is composed of twenty- one members, seven boys and fourteen girls. The dues are twenty-five cents a year. The ambition of our club was to study the use of theatrical make-up, correct stage technique, one act plays and monologues. The club purchased a make-up kit to be used by the school. Our first performance was a short one-act play given at the Christmas-party held in the High School Assembly, December 22nd. It was written by one of our capable mem- bers, Eloise Mear. For the Junior Play, the members of the club helped with make-up and stage properties, etc. The next big event was when we gave an assembly program at Amboy. We also gave this performance before our assembly and the Civic Club. The last thing on the list was the Senior Play in which we helped with the make-up, stage properties and lights in much the same manner as we did the Junior Play. The members of the club have really enjoyed the in- struction which we have received. This being our first year, we are very proud of the progress we have made. As . to the success of our club we owe the credit to Miss Allison. Wishing you the same, The Dramatic Club.

A com ittee was appointed by the Home Ec. Club to make the arrangements for the annual Assembly Christmas Program. The program opened with the sing- ing of several Christmas Carols by the entire student body, after which everyone enjoyed a quiz program by the faculty and a group of students, a fortune teller, an interesting skit by the Iwamatic Club, and last but not least Santa Claus and his grab bag. Everyone I agreed that this was one of the best entertainments ever given in the high school. The Home Ec. Club had several dances after school. It seems everybody likes to dance. Even some of the teachers. , The outstanding nhighlightsn of the club this year were: the Christmas Party, serving the Parent- Son F. F. A. Banquet and the Mother-Daughter Home Ec. Banquet. Our sponsor, Miss Ensign, has done a great deal for the Home Economic girls in training them to be better Hhousekeepersh and more competent workers. Your friends, HThe Home Ee. Kidsu

With school just started and everything, you know how busy a person can be. Even at that, we aren't to busy that we can't visit the Siren Staff. , This year instead of picking individuals from the Senior Class as a whole, the Typing II Class took full charge and all responsibilities. There being only five in the class, namely, Donna Maude Sunday, Margaret Greenfield, Betty Wilhelm, Eugene Steder and Wayne Ness, they had to work extra hard to write up their editions and then type them besides. The Siren job and was written up period. After the this year was taken as a class project every Monday morning during the class work was read and reread and all cor- rections madc, it was handed over to the publisher. Though sometimes late, our Siren Staff never failed us. Maybe when you were in high school, you were on the staff to write up the weekly school paper. If so, you know what a job it can be at times. Under the able directions of Mr. Obourn, our Siren Staff did O.K. Here's hoping you read it every week. Good Luck, The Siren Staff T Y
