wealthy socialite, found her valuables disap- pearing. Patty Emery, as the staunch police- woman, suspected Edythe Rowe, the maid. Edythe provided a highly emotional scene, but the tension was broken when Elizabeth Osborne struggled. in under a load of borrowed articles to confess. Susan Bell, however, turned out to be the culprit! The climax of the evening was the enactment of Lot's Wife. Lee Willoughby gave a convincing character sketch of the vain Mrs. Lot. Dick Vosburg came from the outside to pile up honors as Mr. Lot. His daughters were portrayed by jean Hamilton and Sara Raffetto, who gave their usual fine performances. March brought more entertaining one-acts from the drama department. The unusual back- ground for Skin Deep was a beauty salon. Elizabeth played the upright proprietress, Cora Lee. The cast included Gwen, Edythe, Margaret Ruffin, Nancy Lee, Susan, and Mary Hurley, all adding individual skill and flavor to the per- formance. The second of the plays was set in Ireland. Joan Burke, who sings as well as she acts, and Dorothy jane, assuming appropriate accents, gave us a feeling for the intrigue of the Irish Revolution. Bunny and Gay Maupin were well cast as Irish policemen. The first act of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay with Anne Mearns as Cornelia Otis Skinner, Betty Browder as Emily Kimbrough, Lee, Ann Klepinger, the Maupins, Nancy Gibson, and Peggy Smith, gave us the side-splitting adventures of two girls taking their first trip to Europe. At this writing, the commencement play has not been chosen, but we know it will be as enjoyable as ever. All in all, the Dramatic Club, under the patient direction of Mrs. Rice, Judy Zook as president, and Sara Raifetto as secre- tary, has enjoyed another year of fun and enter- tainment. 53 at 5 F l M XTX A is 7 'I ,jf lk it-llsri Plnllt It 'I 61 lr

HE Dramatic Club started off another fun- packed season with the addition of sev- eral talented new members. Before school had been long under way, the Little Theatre was buzzing with activity launching the Christ- mas plays. After much casting, rehearsing, and polishing came the memorable Friday and Sat- fl 60 urday nights. The house was packed, and the program began with a comedy, The Ring and the Look. Dot Osborne, as Tom Tuttle, found herself involved in a romantic mix-up in which Sally Fly and Nancy Gibson vied for the honor of wearing her ring. Anne Piggot stepped in just in time to capture the heart of the hero. They were ably assisted by Dorothyjane Miller, as Tom's sophisticated sister, Joan Burke, as his best friend, Bunny Maupin, as Mrs. Tuttle, and Nancy Lee in blackface. The second play was a mystery story in which Gwen Fairlamb, lr

ANY glee clubs are fortunate to have a few good solo voices, but the Glee Club this year outclid itself in both volume and tone. However, the many lovely voices of the club were not idle, and several fine programs were given. In the Thanksgiving Program, the club sang the traditional Tlmnkr Be To God, and the beauti- ful solo voice of Mary Jane Abdill was heard in a new song called Light. Our violinist, Paula Fahrney, played Adoration and was accompanied by the talented president of the Glee Club, Dorothy Simmons. Early in December the girls were honored by an invitation from the National Society of Arts and Letters, of which Mrs. Plum is a member. The Cantata Cloilde femr was sung with inciden- i62l
