Mrs. Howard Mims The Black Masquers of Greenville hij;h school arc the honor students in dramatics. This year early grad- uation left the club with only six members to carry on. Installed in Greenville hifth school in 1939 by the Rocky Mount chapter, the local Black Masquers organizti- tion has continuously been an active one. During the year the group sponsored Brother Goose, a three-act comedy. The play proved to be very successful but without the able assistance of ten outstanding drama- teers, who were chosen as Junior Black Masquers, the production would have been impossible. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Howard Mims, advisor. During the past year the dramatics class has pre- sented several public performances. They are as follows: Elmer, a paid performance, We Hold These Truths, contribution to Education Week, and The Creed, u free-will play to further the sale of Easter Seals. Ten Dramateers were chosen by the Black Masquers to be Junior Black Masquers and it was those students who assisted in the production of Brother Goose. Those students were chosen because of their outstanding work in dramatics. The Dramateers assisted the AAUW in bringiiig The Sleeping Beauty to Greenville by Vieing host to the players.
