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. ITH the closing and opening of a curtain, an audience is trans- A group of artistic girls form a valuable branch of the backstage company. This organization is the Wardrobe committee whose duties are to take care of all costumes, small properties, an-ol to create new ones when called upon. Arthur Bell is the manager, Thomas McDougall is chief electrician, and George Clemans, carpenter. Virginia Becklund is chairman of the wardrobe committee.

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.

PAINT AND PATCHES ILL you be a slant-eyed Chinese, a sleek Frenchman, or a hay- seed farmer? A few minutes with this ingenious group, Paint and Patches, and Central's shyest boy will step forth a deep-dyed villain with long waxed mustache. Likewise the loveliest maid- en might as easily be made to represent Scott's hag, Ulrica. lt is this group that adds character to the stars to Central's stage productions. The Dramatic Club's entertaining play, Prince Ioy, afforded great opportunity for Chinese make-up as did Uncle Tom's Cabin in the Tirnes' Revue for that of the negro. In order to be among the Paint and Patches, one must have had at least one term's Work in an expression class. Tryouts are held early each fall, and immediately after entrance into the club the new Patches are informed about the intricate objects of the make-up box. The meetings are almost entirely devoted to practice in this art. However, the early meetings teach only the correct straight make-up, while later meetings are devoted to the study of char- acter make-up. The Paint and Patches are under the instruction of Miss Marjorie Dornberg. The officers are: president, lane Sorensonp vice-president, Elizabeth Hindererg secretary, Patricia Doyle, treasurer, Louise Adams. 2513 if P xl: Page 82 ff! Yi X ft x.-.. EEN it
