It was'agreed that the club should hold regular monthly meetings, collect dues, and present a one-act play at each meeting. Try-outs have been held at intervals for those interested in becoming members, and thus a number of talented students have been added to the club. The first play of the year was Hanging Uncle Henry, presented at the November meeting. The Christmas Rose, given at the December meeting, was also presented before the P. T. A., and was enthusiasticafly received. As the January meeting came just before exams, and there was very l3ttle time for rehearsals, we de- cided to make this meeting a skit night. A number of entertaining monologues, dialogues, and other skits were presented. In celebration of George Washi11gton's birthday, we presented at the February meeting a costume play entitled The Lost Letter. The play for the March meeting was a hilarious comedy entitled' The Love Pirate. The biggest dramatic event of the year is the one-act play contest held each year at Farmville State Teachers' College, in which a number of high schools of South- side Virginia participate. The play presented by C. H. Friend High School this year was entitled The Patched Coat, and the cast included Lillian Russell, Jane Taylor, Elizabeth Stover, Elizabeth Lee, Cora Worsley, John Glass, Tom Spencer, W. C. Bal'ou, and Peter Staples. We are indebted to the management of the Halifax Theater for the use of their stage for rehearsals.
