The MAY FETE The Dramatics department at Dakota Wesleyfan represents one of the strongest extra-curricular interests of the school. Every year the department presents to the public in the lVIetropolitan Theatre three full length plays. Dakota Wesleyanboasts of the best equipped Dramatics laboratory in South Dakota. A roomy stage with special electric lighting equipment, scenery, and elevated seats for an audience of sixty people offer ample facilities for actual work in play production. Every Winter the Dramatics classes give a series of one act plays, each play being directed by some member of the class. The students are given thorough training in direction, stage management, make-up Work, and costurning. This spring Dakota Wesleyfan is sponsor- ing a one act play contest among a number of South Dakota high schools. Prizes con- sisting of valuable scholarships are offered. Dakota Wesleyan's high standing in Dramatics is widely recognized. Theta Alpha Phi, the national honorary society of Dramatics, has granted a chapter to our school. One Hundred Fifty-six

Terine Kron Kathryn Ahern Howard Reedy VARSITY DEBATERS Dakota Wesleyfan opened the 1930 debate season with prospects that were none too bright. Out of the nine students finally chosen on the varsity squad, five were sopho- mores and one a freshman. However, these inexperienced debaters worked hard and completed a long schedule of debates with a very creditable showing. The question debated by all teams was the regular Pi Kappa Delta question: Re- solved that the nations should adopt a plan of complete disarmament except such forces as are needed for police purposes.
