HIS year one of the most active clubs of DHS, the Speech and Dramatics Club, was organized under the able leadership of Miss LaVerne Shannon and Mr. Harold Petersen. The club elected Janice Hinz, Roxanna jedele, and Dick Kapfer as their president, vice-president, and secretary'- treasurer, respectively. This marks the second year that speech and drama stu- dents have had an organized club. During the year, seventy- five members took an active part in the many functions of the organization. Some of the first club projects of the year were panel discussions using such a topic as, The Purpose of joining' Drama Club. A group of freshman girls had a lot of fun at one meeting presenting charades of popular song titles. A prize was given to the three persons who identified most of the charades correctlyg they were placed on the entertainment committee for the next meeting. Numerous members were active in contest work and proved their abilities by winning many high ratings. The club sponsored a contest here in the high school on March ll and all members took part in some way. The biggest project undertaken by the Dramatists was cleaning the property rooms. After removing excess cos- tumes and furniture, one prop room was transformed into the vocal music office. You probably remember how you enjoyed the various entertainments provided by the Drama Club at assembly programs. Perhaps The Swamp Spirit, a one-act play, or some of the declamations were what you liked best. In cooperation with the music department the club spon- sored a variety show, the proceeds of which helped to buy a new tape recorder to be used in speech and music work. ,64-
