The Dramatic Workshop was organized by Miss Ruth Hatchett in 1944-45. It was from this first group that the Durant chapter of Thespians was organized. Miss Clara Mae Ellis followed Miss Hatchett as sponsor and at her resignation this year Mrs. A. L. Pool became sponsor. Both sponsors were absent when this picture was made. Some of the present members were among those who made the doors, windows, steps and other plugs for the sltage. H877-usa i ig ' T -7 , jf?
