DRAMATEERS - The junior Club, known as the Dramateers,', formed after the presentation of the junior play, when the members of the cast requested the chance for a continuation of work under the director of dramatics. They soon established themselves as a well-organized activity for juniors in our school. They began by reading different plays and studying character acting. Later they presented a one-act play in assembly, entitled Sauce for the Goslingsf' which was re- ceived very favorably by the student body. This club will furnish an opportunity for junior students who are interested in the study of dramatics to learn different phases of stage productions. This enthusiastic group has begun an activity which will be carried on next year, doing good work in all fields of drama. Memberr of llae club were: Robert Jones, President, james Swackhamer, Vice- President, Eleanore Jaffe, Secretary-Treasurer, Willard Arentzen, Herbert Beattie, Kathryn Floating, Helen Geary, Alma Guille, Betty Kitchen, Beatrice Potter, Rita Rabe, Mildred Reese, Dorothy Reilley Beryl Schneider, Ruth Shearer, jane Shill, Roberta Walker, Fayetta Evans, Robert Keim, Milton Baker. SCARLET MASQUE - In early October a freshman dramatic club was organized through the efforts of Miss Novak and a few ambitious freshmen.
