Treasurer President Secretary Vice-President ghe flag ,J the Ulzing Students with hlstrionic leanings have the wherewith to lean on here at Holy Names. The Drama- tlcs Department is dramatizlng all year long. This year it has added to an ever increasing list of creditable productions Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland. Together with the orchestra and glee, this department shared the honors of our tremendously successful operetta, A Waltz Dream. Largely responsible for the enthusiasm and capable performance of our budding actresses is their teacher, Miss Laura Miller. Her unflagglng interest and zeal are obviously fruitful, and, we trust, eqaally rewarding. h The dramatics club, gag in-Q gg-Ll, organized only last year, has some members who take part :Ln its plays and skits. A Thanksgiving play, Christmas play, and Shakespearian Festival were its acti- vities this year. We are grateful that the opportunity to develop latent dramatic talent is provi- ed for us by our bountiful Alma Mater.

Handsome Niki, vivacious Kay, lovelorn Princess Helene,King Maximilian, Matilda,Montschi, 1upert,Louisa, Bertram Budget, Counts Sigismund and Lothar, Fifi, Annerl, Gretchen, Elsa, court ladies, soldiers, American tourists, and country lassies come to life again each time we hear the strains of its lovely Strauss melodies. Solos, duets,choruses, orchestral accompaniment still uring through the nightn fo: us. Beautiful gowns, gorgeous uniforms, perky hats, straws, canes, peasant dresses, royal hall, cafe setting,pa1ace garden, col- orful lights loom up in the midst of our reveries. Hours of practice, lengthy rehear- sals, hard work behind the scenes were more than rewarded when perfect evening perform- ances won thunderous approval from capacity audiences and necessitated an extra showing the following afternoon. Activities such as this one call for more! 3-I xxiirl I ln.Hu:'rmws My Wlllllllll
