DRAMATIC CLUB OULDS'T thou be a somber Hamlet, or perhaps a tongue-lashing Kate, or morose Lady Macbeth? Full expression may be given to these wishes by joining the Dramatic Club. This club was or- ganized many years ago. One of the purposes is to teach stu- dents to express themselves clearly an-d artistically, and another is to encourage interest in one ot the greatest forms ot art in the world. Tryouts are held once every fall, and most oi the players in the dramatic assemblies are chosen from this group. This year's assemblies will be remem- bered for The Prince of Domdomitor and Why the Chimes Rang. The latter Was given at Christmas and was beautiful in its color and pageantry. Every second year this organization produces a long play to be given for the public, and this year The Artist's Dilemma, a play written by Miss Austin, met with huge success. The adviser is Miss Helen Austin, and the officers are Howard Robinson, president, Betty Engle, vice-president, Dorothy lean Anderson, secretary: and Donald Levin, The Artist's Dilemma business manager.

Can it be magic? No-it is our ever ready, depend- able stage force which works with such silent speed and accuracy ' behind the scenes in all of our productions. This force is chosen by the dramatic director, Miss Helen Austin, who instructs the boys as to the operation of the lighting effects, staging, and gives them all necessary training. As usual they have been very efficient in their work this year, contributing much to the success of the various elaborate assemblies, the Times Revue, style shows, and the play, The Artist's Dilemma, Written by Miss Austin.
