DOMINO CLUB For The firsT Time in nearly a decade, The Academy's dramaTic sociefy was Truly acTive during The year I949-I95O. Reduced To producing one-acT plays and con- densaTions for The pasT few years, The members resolved in The spring of T949 To sTage a full-lengTh play of currenT inTeresT. Accordingly, early in Sepfember, The club began To rehearse for iTs December producfion, The HasTy HearT. A sTrenuous re- hearsal schedule was esfablished and wiTh The unfiring efforf and encouragemenT offered by our FaculTy Advisor-Direcfor, Mr. Ridgway, The producTion was gradually shaped. As The appoinTed nighT grew near, calamify seemed To sTrike The club. The leading man was confined To his bed seriously ill, consTrucTion of The seT was Tar behind sched- ule. and necessary lighTing equipmenT was delayed boTh in arriving and in being sef up. On The morning of Friday, December The ninTh, a lasT rehearsal of one acT was given before The Upper School and ThaT affernoon, anoTher was given for The Middle: in each a differenf undersTudy Took The imporTanT role of Lachie. Only a few minuTes afTer eighT ThaT evening, however, The curTain wenT up on The firsf acT of The comedy- drama wiTh iTs original casT, including Bill l-liTschler as a mosT-convincing Yank from Georgia, Perry BoThe as a Cockney humorisT, Senior Hal Hamilfon as an ex-pugilisT from Ausfralia, a somewhaT whiTe buT sTill compeTenT Jim Foley as Lachie, a dying Scoffish soldier, and a superb Mrs. Jarvis as The Nurse. OThers in The casT included George Boyd, Jim Reill, William STewardson, and Dick Hoyf. During The spring Term, The club read and considered many plays and definife plans were made for producing Two one-acT dramas, Hope ls The Thing WiTh FeaThers and A Game of Chess. A library plan was insTiTuTed and The club donafed several im- porTanT books To The Benson Library wifh The promise ThaT The Domino Club collecTion would be increased from year To year by The members. The Thanks and homage of The club are exTended To Mrs. Jarvis. who so graciously consenfed To Take The nurse's role, and wiThouT whom our play would have been impossible, and To Mr. Ridgway, our ingenious and indefaTigable advisor whose direc- Tion was absoluTely essenTial To The producfion.
