1933 -'I' HE CAHPANILE-1933 DRAMATTC CLUB ONGRATULATIONS, Actors! We the Senior Class of 'thirty-three are proud of such a Club. Throughout the year they have proved themselves true sons of the footlights. Notable talent has been exhibited by the members. Under the expert direction of Brother George Siegwarth, the guild has produced praiseworthy plays and gained much knowl- edge of literature as well as a true appreciation for the drama. Organized in November, the club entertained the Student Body in January. They chose a farce entitled, Our First Performancef' as their initial production. A hilarious comedy, The Yellow Robef' was presented in February. These offerings merited much favorable criticism. FRANCIS WURTSMITH President The dramatic guild has proved to be a club of great activity. Every member' has been as active as the group itself. Besides carrying them into fields of liter- ature and drama, their work has secured for them invaluable experience in platform speaking as well as in the art of make-up. By steady, untiring efforts and perseverance the group attained its ultimate end-success. The organization, whose membership was restricted to twenty, held their meetings one evening a week in the school library. These gatherings were very business-like and produc- tive of fine results. During the course of the meeting, future plays were chosen, parts assigned, business discussed, scenes practised, and scripts read and corrected. Attendance was always up to par because of the great interest in the work. Francis Wurtsmith had the honor of presiding over these assemblies as President. He was ably assisted by J. Hurley, Vice-President, R. Coatsworth, Secretary, and De Groot, Treasurer. Top Row: F. O'Connell, J. Easterby, E. Pamper. R. Glemet, F. Pumper, H. Kehoe, L. Zak. Middle Row: C. Piggott, R.

1953 -'I' HE CAMDANILE-1955 QUILL CLUB BIT of pep and spirit that no other club possesses seems im- bued in this infant organization. It has achieved distinction through its original work, and is already one of the most popular and help- ful clubs of the Senior year. Sincerity and a touch of light cwhimsicality were showrnin the first original production of the year, a mock trial entitled Miss Careless Student. In this playler, the girls showed how cleverly one can mingle a little tragedy, a bit of humor, a true moral, and still make the product a rare bit of entertainment. The gay spirit of the holidays was portrayed in the Quill Clubls most ingenious manner. In their endeavor to bring to the P,-Mille-1115 audience the spirit of the holiday season, as celebrated in each country, the girls produced a miniature masterpiece. Then there were the little-in-between-acts such as writing poetry, weekly notes, and editing an Annual- work that kept the girls busy and happy throughout the year. DOROTHHA JOHNSTON The Class of 1933 now lay down their quills, advance to the next step in life, and leave it to you, the Class of 1934-our school friends and successors-to write life's little dramas with the Quill Club's sharpest quills.

l'uiguNinL'I1 was -'I' I-IE CAHPANILE-1933 VTRGTL CLUB RGANIZED live years ago, the Virgil Club has grown into one of our major organizations, this year's club claiming the largest registration since its inception. Membership is restricted to the Latin students-to those who have shown so intense an interest as to study it for four years-two years longer than the compulsory time. Vincit qui l:1l701'a1'! Well does our motto explain the suc- cess of the Latin students. Labor, earnest and sincere, was required to conquer the difficult passages and puzzling constructions. But all was not labor. Variety, in the form of short plays, was pro- vided by the club. Playlets depicting important scenes and events in the life of Virgil, were presented at frequent intervals. A keener insight into the character of this lofty poet was our desire, and we know that we have attained it, at least to some small degree. MARGARET Tucxisn Prc'xirfc11I The Latin Contest, sponsored by the University of Detroit, was eagerly prepared for by the club members and eager competition resulted. Finally Margaret Tucker, Mary Winifred Kerwin, and Josephine Bruce, were chosen to participate, while Virginia Bonkowski, Catharine W'allace and Mary Agnes Burke were named as substitutes. The members of the class of nineteen thirty-three are reluctant to relinquish their membership in this absorbing club, but they are consoled by the thought that they have an excellent knowl- edge of that never-changing and noble Latin language.
