HIDDEN TALENT 73 PART FOUR CHAPTER ONE DRAMATICS The first dramatic attempt of the year was a hilarious one-act rhythm play coached by Mrs. Stephens and acted largely by members of the drama class. Jackie Binns in a long black com- mencement robe swaying back and forth in time to her sing-song lines, Barbara Ludberg as the Court Clerk never missing a beat as she ushered in the witnesses and prisoner, Beanie Black as the glamour girl managing to swagger. weep, flirt with the judge and still keep perfect time, were all something to remember. The Thanksgiving play given by the soph- mores was a departure from the traditional tab- leau representing the Spirits of Giving, Receiving, and Thanksgiving. This year a modern family was represented on the stage complete with a young Marine borrowed from the University. A typical American family sharing our harvest with the world! The Junior performance at Christmas was an impressive adaptation of The Juggler of Our Lady with Jackie Binns as the Juggler and ' Joan Southwick as the lovely statute of Our MARGRETTA RAMSEY Lady.

The mere mention of the name is required to remind the seniors of the good times they had in producing this successful play. It brings back memories of long hours after school in which Margretta Ramsey, their talented director, took the seniors over their lines again and again, showed their intricate footing patterns and gave them instruction in the art of make up and general backstage conduct. Never will they forget the times they ap- plied too much rouge here and the wrong-colored eyelashs there, when getting ready for those panicky dress rehersals which always spell a wonderful real performance, which it was.
