31 YEAR BOOK Page Seventeen The Dramatic Society One of the best supported student activities has been the Dramatic Club of this year. Due to the experienced advice and untiring devotion of Miss Dyde and Miss Fisher, the Club has covered a fairly representative group of modern plays. Starting in England with Eden Philpotts’ “The Farmer’s Wife,” the reading has gone to Ireland with Yeats’ “Land of Heart’s Desire” and “Riders to the Sea” by Synge and then “You Never Can Tell” by G. B. Shaw. Because of many interruptions, the meetings have been irregular but from Easter to June promises to be a period of definite achievement for the dramatic devotees. The major undertaking of the Club, however, was the pres¬ entation of “A Doll’s House,” by Ibsen, on March 25th. Here again we must express our gratitude to Miss Fisher and Miss Dyde for the generous giving of their time and ability in coach¬ ing the players and supervising the presentation. The cast was as follows: Torvald Helmer.Harold Russell Nora Helmer.Mary Clifford Dr. Rank.Frecl Glover Mrs. Linden...Jane Stockton Nils Krogstad . Melville Davidson Anna.Leta Roe Ellen.Ethel Burns Although Ibsen is always difficult to present, each of the cast gave an excellent interpretation of his part. The character of Nora, undoubtedly the most exacting in its requirements, was well taken by Miss Clifford, who showed how thoroughly she knew the capricious and fitful Nora. Torvald Helmer was re¬ vealed in all his excessive affection and blindness to reality by Mr. Russell. Mr. Glover portrayed Dr. Rank very effectively, especially in the intimate scenes between him and Nora. The part of the stolid and capable Mrs. Linden was sympathetically interpreted by Miss Stockton and Krogstaad was made to ap¬ pear a calculating and menacing villain by Mr. Davidson. The success of the players in maintaining the atmosphere of im¬ pending disaster was entirely commendable. M. McC. Second Term Social On March 13, following two basketball games, the Normal students held their second term social. The guests were received by Miss Dyde, Mr. and Mrs. Hay, Miss Ellis and Mr. Mac- Pherson. In the Assembly Hall, fittingly decorated with green and white streamers and colored balloons, the Tech, orchestra sup¬ plied the music for those who wished to dance. Tables were arranged upstairs and in the rotunda for those students who preferred to play cards. Members of the visiting basketball team were the guests of the students and the evening was pronounced to be a decided success.
