TROPAEUM 19 3 7 Alan C. Miller A. B. Indiana University English Clifford L. Parker A. B. Indiana Central English Play production has become one of the most fruitful and interesting ac- tivities in Butler High School. Participation in dramatics has come to mean much more than merely an additional extra-curricular honor; it is now recog- nized as an essential factor in character development, both personal and social. Play-acting is a real-life activity, involving real-life situations, and that edu- cation is best which most nearly approximates life itself. The Seniors of 1937 presented “Sis Perkins” very successfully. “Mama’s Baby Boy,” Ihe Junior presentation, was also well-received by the public. The department of English offers courses in formal and business English, Public Speaking and Literature. At least three units are required for gradua- tion. Page Twenty-one
