Clmue, vf?.,a,.J With this yearbook the Chatter completes its eleventh successful year. Several changes in print- ing and publication have been made which have added materially to the organizationis success. The first of these was the switch from regular printing to reproduction by the photostat process, which has enabled us to include art and photography to a much greater extent, and has brought about a considerable financial saving. Another innovation was the spreading of the first three issues at wider intervals over the school year, thus utilizing more of the good writing produced by the students. This method of photostating has greatly increased the work of the staff, especially that of the typists. It has been their duty to type perfectly and within definite dimensions all of the copy just as it was reproduced in the magazine, and this took many hours of genuine hard work. These girls, Beth Hansen, Adeline Broadley, Naomi Weeks, and Cor- rine Brancheau, and any others who helped out at times, deserve great credit for their work. Credit is due also to the artists, Connie Budlong and Don Bender, who did the advertisements, covers, page headings, and many of the illustrations, and who helped so much in the layout.

Last fall the club began its activities under the capable leadership of Allan Trimpi, our president. The other officers of the club this past year were as follows: Leonard D'Ooge, vice-president, Nancy Ireland, secretary, Whlifred Jackson, treasurer, Don Spiller, business manager, and Miss Edith Miles, director and faculty adviser. The committee chairmen were Marguerite Burton, properties, -Charles Drake, electrician, Rodman Heu, carpen- ters, Clara Gehring, painters, Lorraine Kemble, make-up, and Ellenore Gabriel, news reporter. Our first production this year was an adapted version of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, which we presented on December 7, 1939, to the parents and several of the leading organizations of Chatham. The cast was as follows: Nancy Ireland, Katherine, Leonard D'0oge, Petruchio, W'inifred Jackson, Bianca, Lee Pettingill, Lucentio, Don Spiller, Grumio, Allan Trimpi, Senor Baptista, Marjorie Mealey, Senora Minola, and Linda Bette Whitfield, Curtis. Almost immediately after the presentation of the Taming of the Shrew, we started working on our spring play, What A Life, starring the popular radio, stage, and screen character, Henry Aldrich. Juvenile leads and nine other bit parts were played by members of the new Junior High Dramatics Club. The parts requiring older students were dra- matized by members of the Senior High Club. The cast from the Senior High was as follows: Mr. Bradley, principal, Thomas Murphy, Mr. Nelson, assistant principal, Charles Drake, Miss Shea, sec- retary, Ellenore Gabriel, Mr. Patterson, history teacher, Lloyd Starck, Miss Eggleston, teacher, Lor- raine Kemble, Mr. Vecchitto, Henry Westewelt, Miss Wheeler, music teacher, Linda Bette Whit- field, George Biggelow, student, George Norden- holt, Mrs. Aldrich, Nancy Ireland, Mr. Ferguson, detective, Rodman Heu, and Bill Green, Don Spill- er. The Junior High players were Henry Aldrich, Richard Newell, Barbara Pearson, Marion Arnold, Miss Pike, teacher, Elizabeth Maze, Gertie, student, Arlene Segal, and Cynthia Pettingill. Other stud- ents in the play were Herrick Drake, Alice Reed, and Virginia Brougham. Both plays were huge successes. and our box of- fice showed receipts of nearly 3300. The splendid publicity this year was largely t,he work of the pre- sident. We of the Dramatic are all sorry to see Allan T1'impi leave us although we are certain that our next year's officers will be as competent as this year,s staff has been. I 25
