6. H. S. The EMERALD 1 9 3 3 CLARENCE Clarence is a comedy in four acts presented by the Senior Class in the High School Auditorium on April 8 and 10. Clarence has no medals, no shoulder bars, no great accomplishments. One of the five million , he served where he was sent - though it was no farther than Texas. As an entomologist he found on this side of the ocean -no field for his specialty in the Great War, so they set him to driving mules. Now, reduced to civil life, he finds a position in the home of one Wheeler, a. wealthy Englewood man, with a family. And because he'd been in the army , he becomes guide, philosopher, and friend to the members of that same agitated and distracted family group. Clarence's position is an anonomous one. He mends the bathroom plumbing, he tunes the piano. he plays the trombone. Around him revolves a group of characters such as could be offered only by Booth Tarkington.

e. I-4. S. The EMERALD 1933 DEBATE A great interest was shown in debating this year, and it was not until the season was Well under way that the group was cut to one negative and one affirmative team with one alternate each. The members of the affirm- ative team were: Charles Callis, Walter Gipe, Chester Perkins, and Earl Holloway alternate. The members of the negative team were: Wilbur Kelley, Wilfred Sheppard, Marguerite Zugelder, and Howard Parsons alter- nate. Both teams debated in two district debates one to Frankfort, at Frankfort, and won from Lebanon, at Flora. The negative team lost both of its debates. Although their record is not so good the debaters are aware that the value of their experience is unmeasurable. ' THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club was organized the second week of January 1933 The charter members are Ruth Johnson, Madge Griffin, Charles Callis, Marguerite Zugelder, Leon Clingenpeel, Vernelle Zirkle, Wilfred Sheppard, Chester Perkins, and Rebecca Fawcett. Milberne Mast, Russell Kaufman, and Wilbur Kelley have been voted into the club. Miss Parson is the club's sponsor and honorary member. . p The first public appearance was a Washington program. The program consisted of several interesting talks about Washington's life and work. The purpose of this club is that all people interested in dramatics, who have had a semester of Public Speaking, may carry on this work through the club. Since new members must be voted into the club, a.t the close of the term a group of -J uniors were voted in so that the club might have a start next year. It is hoped that enough interest is displayed toward this sort of work next year to further the development of such an organization. Page twenty-four
