6cF0llow Me, Pleasc-29' The Usher Squad, under the leadership of Miss Simon, has be- come one of the most useful and active units at Brandywine. lt has grown quickly from the original seven girls to its present size of twelve members. As a service organization, the Usher Squad performs a number of very important duties at P.T.A. meetings, movies, and dances. The members usher in the auditorium, collect tickets, and work in the cloakroom. Their polite assistance is a valuable contribution to the smooth functioning of many Brandywine activities.

Resolved: There is a Santa Claus! The six members of the Debating Club, who meet every Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Tarkenton, proved this in the annual Christmas assembly. This club proceeds according to the phiolosophy of the free exchange of ideas and a logical planned approach to intellectual understanding. They are planning debates with other high schools in this area. Left to right-Mrs. Tarkenton, M. Ullman, J. Walker, F. Bower, B, Wandell, B. Campbell. NOT SHOWN-Diane Willis.

Composed of thirteen mem- bers, it is a group formed to stimulate interest in science and to give students the opportunity to do experimental work. The two officers of the club are: Dick Vroman, the president, and Doak Conn, the secre- tary-treasurer. The activities of the Science Club include going on field trips and spon- soring programs of interest to science stu- dents. The forty members of the Dramatics Club, under the direction of Mr. Gumpert and Mr. Dennison, are divided into these committees: publicity, acting, business, props, scenery, and prompting. Their com- bined efforts resulted in the production of a three-act play, June Graduate. CSee p. 1323. Last year the club presented three one- act plays, of these, Sunday Costs Five Pesos returned from the University of Dela- ware Play Festival with several honors. Besides providing entertainment and enioyment, the Club uses its proceeds for props, scenery, make-up, and costumes for future productions, to gain experience, and to enhance their knowledge of the dramatic arts.

Photo F iencls Left to right-D. Potter, K. Richards, V Barrowclough, S. Morrow. The Photography Club sponsored by Mr. Krebs consists of six members. Their president is David Potter, and their secretary Virginia Barrowclough. Photography for the Azurean, other than that done by the professional, is the club's chief function. Their other responsibilities include supplying pictures used by the newspaper, and photographing out of school activities, sports events, and dances. Any student wishing to purchase pictures will find the Photography Club ready, willing, and able. Behind the cenes A large masonite backdrop was the basis for the scenery for June Graduate, and will probably be used in future years for similar purposes. Its construction was the work of the Stage Crew, whose 17 members spent hours in building it. They worked in the wood shop to complete the structure, which was unusual in its durability.
