RliNO.J Well, here comes Cal Wood, the president of the Stage Craft Club. I wonder what he has to say. Oh, Cal, tell us about your clubf, My Club? Hardly that, I'm just one of the officers. The real credit should go to Miss Ewing, the faculty advisor, for her efficient instruc- tion given to the members of the club. It has proved to be a very successful organization this year both in capability to entertain others and to instruct its members in the art of dramatization. Several plays were given in chapel, one of these entitled Rosalie being repeated at the fall meeting of the Parent-Teachers meeting. Every other Friday we hold a meeting and some phase of drama- tization is taken up. The art of make upi' and the technique of stage position and other subjects are discussed. The club was augmented by the acquisition of several new mem- bers who have proven their worth and should carry on the success of this year's club into the next. 31 Q49 X

QAbsent from ,mum-cs. HAYi:s, D. cnoizcm One may find record of several interesting happenings by looking through the minutes of the Boardman Hi-Y club. The mysterious back stage of Keith's Palace theater was visited and the boys discovered the presentation of vaudeville acts very interesting. An invitation to appear on the stage and be chased off by a comedy team was declined-with thanks. Other visits included a trip to the stock exchange and the Bell tele- phone building both of which proved instructive as well as entertaining. The club room, a miniature house of fun, was used many times with increasing enjoyment. The Boardman Hi-Y, although one of the smallest in the valley, is noted for its activity and is looked upon as a model Hi-Y. jared Dugan, president, is also president of the Mahoning Valley Hi-Y Council. The Hi-Y basketball team, as the Crier goes to press, was leading the Hi-Y basketball league. Mr. Hershberger was again the advisor and his work in this capacity Was appreciated. 30

-- A c - , V 1, fix i Q V 4949 QD LITERARY TEAM lst Row Cleft to rightj-MARY T. CRONAN, VIRGINIA HUNTER, LUCILLE CARLSON. Back Row-WALTER MQKAIN. The scene is laid in the auditorium of Boardman School. It is the night of the Mahoning County Literary Contest and the hall is well filled. The judges are announcing the winners of the reading contest. Mary Teresa Cronan, the Boardman entry, giving as her selection, A Plantation Sketch in negro dialect, failed to place, although her efforts were lauded by the audience. Then Mr. Henderson brought word of the otiher contest. Although Virginia Hunter had a carefully prepared and pertinent oration, she lost out in the oration contest held at Poland. Her talk concerned a vital problem, Cooperative Law Enforcement. Lucille Carlson journeyed to Austintown where she participated in the essay contest. Her composition entitled A Precious jewel con- cerned friend-ship and was handled in a very pleasing manner. But once more Mr. Henderson had only poor news to give us. The news from Goshen was last to arrive. Walter McKain wlent down to defeat in the short story contest. The Flavian Principle with a setting in old Rome ably portrayed his originality and resourcefulness. The competition in the literary contest was unusually strong and the audiences everywhere acclaimed 1930 as a banner year. 32
