Reynolds, head of the Department of Expression and Dramatic Art, with Miss Verda Cline as president, Evelyn Hill, secretary, and Virgil Keithley as treasurer. Try-outs for membership in the Dramatic Club, to fill vacancies from last year, were held during the Hrst few weeks of school, and a number of our most talented students were received as members. Those registered for work in the drama class were admitted into the Club as members without try-outs. Miss Reynolds, with the assistance of a committee chosen by the President. di- vided the members of the club into groups. Each group presented a play sometime during the year and the characters were wisely chosen by our Director. The first play, a comedietta, Make-Believe, was given in Burnside Chapel, Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 21, 1920. The success of the play was due to the splendid representation of characters by each one of the four players. On Feb. 17, 1921, the Dramatic Club successfully presented four one-act plays, in Burnside Chapel. The first play, Laughter in Court, by Captain John Kendall, certainly justified its name by causing much merriment. The second play was The Price of Coal, by Harold Brighouse, and was the heaviest of the four. This play was so appealing and was so well given that it is to be repeated during Commencement week. The third play, 'iNever-the-less,', was a clever little interlude written by Stuart lValker. and was presented by the actors before the curtain in a very realistic fashion. The last play was a domestic episode, The Play-goers, by Arthur YV. Pinero. It presented in a very interesting and amusing manner the servant problem which faces so many housewives of to-day. The characters were very well chosen. Burnside Chapel held one of the largest and most appreciative audiences that night in its history. The proceeds were given to the Junior Class to help in the pub- lication of the Orange '22, The work of the Dramatic Club, which has been very beneficial to every one of its members, was almost completed at the end of the first semester by the resignation of Miss Reynolds-our talented and most efficient leader. It was through her patient efforts that each member of the Club was given an opportunity to appear on the stage with so much ease and self-confidence. Very little has been done along dramatic lines the second semester. The time has been devoted to debating and public speak- ing, but plans are being made whereby Hedding Dramatic Club will still hold its ,place among the many other activities of Hedding College. The members of the Club are: Alvin Clark Verda Cline Albert Copeland Harlan Darling Martha Davis Dorothy Gallup Claire Graham lllary Hardin Glen Hartman Evelyn Hill Ruth Hooker Virgil Keithley Carl Lendgren Annie Marry .
