Lake Forest students find a wealth ol' experience and fun in evtra-cur- ricular activities. which train them for future responsibilities. Those with journalistic ambitions spend Vtednes- day evenings in the new Stentor office gathering stories from reporters. writ- ing headlines. and making up the dummy. Students with forensic abilities spend tedious hours in the library magazine stacks and then carry off honors at debate tournaments. Covered with paint and dust. and bearing scars from the saw and hammer. is the hard- working stage hand. equally as impor- tant to Lake Forest's renowned speech department as the actors and actresses who this year proved their flare for drama in the hilarious play.. The Klan Who Came to Dinner. We just wanted to show you that extra-curricular activities included everything from pound- ing with hammers and type- writers to making believe that you are The Man Wiho Came To Dinner.
