To say that the club has succeeded in its aim is to say that water 'is damp because to apply the term successful to the Student Players Club is absurdly mild. Early in the fall semester two eighteenth century plays written by Con- stance D'Arey Mackay were given. ln the Prince of Court Painters , James Page One Hundred Six ii-filf-miai-wb E IHTIEQE'f-4-1-strsfrf-one To WiWcmr-'-

Lipkey, Dorothy Mossman and Millicent Gebhart cleverly played their respect- ive roles. ln the other, Ashes of Roses , Regine Minske. Betty Bowerind. Robert Baral, and Marjorie Ashley composed the cast. These plays firmly established the club's ability. The fact that 'iAshes of Roses was presented four times augments the force of the true meaning of the club to the school. One presentation was made for the College Club-this alone shouts for itself. Later in the year Booth Tarkington's play. The Ghost Story, was put on. This play was quite popular with the student body: in fact it seemed to have the warmest reception of any play thus far given. Helen Bittler and Bob Keegan took the leading parts while Mary Katherine Geake, Rachel Baird, Eliz- abeth Goebel, and Stew McMillen completed the cast, This play was also given four times. One of the performances was given at the lrene Byron Sani- tarium. lf laughing would have made the patients well, they would probably now be making their own living. Next came Cherry Blossom , under the direction of Mr. Schafer of the music department. and Miss Suter of the dramatic department. In this our Regine Minske took the leading part of girls, and other student players who were in the production were Millicent Gebhart, Harold Koerber. Robert Dries- hach, Calvin Hill and Gaylord Huffman. The last plays to be given were Teeth of the Gift Horse and Never- theless . ln the former Robert Driesbach, Hazel Schele, Josephine Beebe. Suzanne Meyers, Gaylord Huffman, and Helen Evans showed their ability to be quite up to the standard of the club. The cast of the latter was made up by Florence Stirling, Poynter McEvoy, and Perry Thomas. To this play there was a prologue and this was given by Eleanor and Dorothy Pierce. our famous One of the best things about the club is its meetings. The thing that quite distinguishes this club from others is its pep, its will and its gaiety. These three things are invariably freely demonstrated at the monthly meetings. Our best meeting was in the form of a picnic and was held at Keegans' cottage at Winona Lake. This being our farewell meeting, we made merry and had one of our typically good times. The honor roll for this year is written and recorded proof that being a member of the StudentiPlayers Club does not detract from your grades to any noticeable extent because eight people out of fourteen or fifty-seven percent of the honor roll were members of this club. To this is added the fact that eighteen people out of twenty-six of the cast and those having to do with other things pertaining to the senior play are Student Players.
