The Parents’ Guild is made up of two other branches. The Mothers’ Club includes all of the mothers of students at Darlington Academy. The Booster Club includes all of the fathers of our students. There are two money-making events that are held annually: the Bazaar, which is primarily set up by the Mothers’ Club is usually held at the end of November; and the Barbecue is put on primarily by the Booster Club in the late winter. The profit earned from these efforts is used for the building funds, school repairs, and fixing the athletic fields. The Booster Club raises much of its money from this wagon. They sell refreshments from inside at various places, like the County Fair and auctions. Parents’ Guild Has Brisk Year.

The first project of the Drama Club this year was the sponsorship of the Robin Hood Players, who presented the play Little Lord Fauntleroy. The group, from Arizona, performed before the entire student body who enjoyed the acting and the entertainment of the play. The Drama Club successfully presented a comedy, The Nutt Family. The play was centered around Crestdale which was a large summer home. Crestdale had been used by Dr. See as a sanitarium, but he had closed the place and put it up for sale. Finally, the house was let to the Nutt family who were unaware of its previous use. The laughter really began when Dr. See’s patients started re- turning to Crestdale and the people began thinking the Nutts really were nuts. The cast consisted of Donna Sansbury as Bea Wise, Emily Aimar as Sylvia Gaylord, Cindy Hill as Cerise, Christine Shake as Mrs. Metta Nutt, Sandra James as Ima Nutt, Spring Kirven as Lila, Melissa Severance as Vivian Topper, Angela Tyner as Charlotte Neal, Martha Willis as Helen Shelton, Joey Math- ews as Orestus, Jerry Kirven as Larry Smart, Joey Abate as Phineus Nutt, and Bobby Bryant as Wall Nutt. Sandra James watches Mrs. Whittum apply last minute make-up to Melinda Rolfe. Angela Tyner waits her turn while Sandra James gets her make-up applied for the play. 21
