The Dramatics Club this year was one of the most active clubs in the system. Under the supervision of Mrs. Jo Nell Bradbury, members produced plays by well-known Writers as well as many by themselves. They learned about stage design, make-up, and lighting, on Wednesdays when a quorum was present. The grand climax of the year came when seven mem- bers put on Act III, Scene I of Night Must Fall for Thes- pian Initiation. The amazing thing about the production was that the students, six of whom were initiates or were old members, did it all in three days! It was a smashing success. Members initiated into Thespians were Lonnie Stanford, Cheryl Spencer, presidentg Ruth Peden, secretaryg and Tommy Ryan.
