WJe ncoufa e the lZ)n With a most promising group of neophytes and a well-seasoned group of stand-bys, the Dramatic Club has made four extraordinary contributions to the school ' s dramatic life. In addition to The Wonder Hat and The Pot Boiler, the club took over the respon¬ sibility of the Thanksgiving program which may soon equal the Christmas Pageant as a traditional Horace Mann event. The contest play, What Men Live By, was one of the most effective productions of the year. As a part of the study of technique the club made trips to Chicago to see Victoria Regina and various other plays. In the capacity of make-up slingers for all major productions, the members have become indispensable to the Auditorium department. The social events of the club were a trip to Hobart, where the contest play was pre¬ sented, a mid-year initiation, and the annual toboggan-chili party, at which as usual, the snow failed to put in an appearance.

A roller skating party given in February was so successful that the members have decided to make it an annual event. At the candle lighting ceremony held in May, twenty-five students were inducted into the Horace Mann Chapter of the National Society. The annual Spring Party, which is always celebrated with great hilarity by old members as well as new, swung itself in and swung the year out.

It was the Friday before Christmas in the Chemistry room. With President Jean Thatcher in the lead, and all the rest of her cohorts following, the Chemistry Club came out of seclusion at Christmas time long enough to distribute a supply of baskets to needy Gary families. The sponsor, Mr. Whiteman, reported that the members visited eight homes and left a large basket full of food and clothing at each. Each month the members of the Chemistry Club met in room 310 to di.scuss prob¬ lems of interest in science. Following a precedent set last spring, Mr. Whiteman ar¬ ranged for the Juniors and Seniors to go on a tour of the Steel mill. Then the Chemistry Club adjourned — till ne.xt Christmas. , , Biology Club, 1933-1938
