Maybe this group was not familiar for a while to the Freshmen, but only for a while, and only to the Freshmen! When tryouts for the Fall Play rolled around, Sopho- mores, Juniors, and Seniors were assigned roles. The Queen Bess Players worked diligently. Rehearsal after rehearsal, week after week—lines were learned, props were set up and the cast was ready for the big night! Curtains opened, play began, and “Respectfully Yours” was a roaring success! All new Queen Bess Players were initiated into the Drama Club in the late winter. Silly performances by individuals and the group contributed to the fun and humor of this informal initiation. New members of Alpha Psi Omega, Drama Club’s highest at- tainment, were initiated in early spring. One major role in a play, 3 minor roles, or the equivalent in helping in the production of any play, was the requirement for membership in this national fraternity. The initiation? Don’t ask how anyone could learn the Greek alphabet! Not Alpha and Omega—but Alpha through Omega! Just think of having to give an impromptu speech too! A banquet climaxed the initiation and each new member felt honored and proud to belong, and determined to live up to her accomplishment. The time for spring tryouts soon came and Freshmen were added to the cast of Queen Bess Players, Hours of practicing by the students and directing by Dr. Haynes contributed to a suc- cessful outcome of “Moor Born,’ a story of the Bronté sisters. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all and had quite a good effect on our High School visitors that weekend!
