On October 8, 1928, a group of students assembled to form the first Stagecraft club of Boardman High School. Fred Mastriani was elected President, Cal Wood, Vice President and Hazel Marshall, Secretary and Treasurer. ,Miss Ewing was chosen advisor of the club. The club Was asked to give two short plays for the Boardman Par- ent-Teachers Association mid-winter meeting, and We consented to do this as we wished to see how we would act on the stage, after studying about stage properties, makeup, voice inflections and other principles. Two plays were prepared, Sauce for the Goslings and Pity . Both casts received many compliments and felt very much elated. Some unexpected emergencies arose, but We managed to overcome these with little diificulty. On February 12, we made arrangements with Mr. Jack Elliot to Visit the Keith-Albee Theater, of which he is manager. We were guid- ed through the theater by Mr. Peters and discovered many interesting things about back-stage life. As yet our club is very small. but we are hoping that it will grow larger and more talented until it becomes an established institution of Bgaydlylglg High, -Elizabeth Stilson, '29. 28

Earl Garver The Student Council of Boardman High School has for the past school year, been very successful. The committee is made up of several members of the Junior and Senior classes. This committee was organ- ized seven years ago for the purpose of helping the faculty in the disci- pline of the students and also to give the students a part in governing themselves. Co-operation is needed if the committee is to do good work and for the most part the whole student body has given it. The com- mittee and the faculty co-operate to govern the students and to improve the general appearance of the school. -Louise Reynolds. 27

With great difficulty the judges chose the contestants. Each contest was represented by a member of each school in Mahoning County. There were four contests and thirteen schools represented. The reading contest was held at Sebring, oration at Springlield, short story at Canfield and essay at Lowellville. Beulah Charles represented the school in the reading with, The Gift of the Magi, a pathetic and dramatic reading containing some humor. Lester Dressel gave a convincing oration at Springfield en- titled, The Great American Experiment . This work concerned the foreigner and problems which directly influence them. Marjorie Simp- kins stepped forth with a thrilling short story, Found-An Ideal, dealing with a strong leading character and the romance of ideals up in the picturesque mountains of New York. Hazel Marshall wrote an essay Ancient Landmarks, dealing with higher ideals and observ- ance and preservation of our landmarks. Boardman scored only a total of three points which were won in the essay contest, held at Lowellville. -Hazel Marshall. 29
