DRAMATILS We must not forget our amateur actors and actresses. It was they who put over our Junior Play of ?38 and Senior Play of '39. The Junior Play was a 3-act comedy with Morris Washington and Margaret Brown having the leads. They were supported by Earnestine Bush, Anna Byers, Margaret Graves, Wilma Nard, Hildred Tollett, Julia Hicks, Wilburt Hill, Lester Frederick and Leroy Baskerville. We had at last reached our first step in acting which was to give a play which would be well attended. We left school with a feeling that after all we still had a chance to try out our acting ability the next year. We entered into our second year of dramatics looking forward to the Senior Play. In order to be ready for the Senior Play we were given exercises in bodily and vocal expression, monologues and speeches for practice. For the charity drive there were five speakers: Wilburt Hill, Wilma Nard, Doris Trotter, Morris Wash- ington and Julia Hicks. For Negro History week we had a skit which was given over radio station WDAF, Blue Park Methodist Church, and in the school auditorium. The players were Marcella Hogan, Morris Washington, Wilburt Hill, Doris Trotter and Julia Hicks. On our journey we had covered our second step which was to broadcast over the radio. Then the time arrived for the Senior Play. “Wings of the Morning,” a strong 3-act drama of purpose, was chosen for presentation. Parts were given to Morris Washington, Wilburt Hill, Lester Frederick, Basil Moore, Karl Fletcher, John Fletcher, Marcella Hogan, Rhoda Everett, Margaret Graves, Hildred Tollett, Wilma Nard, Margaret Brown, Anna Byers, Doris Trotter, and Julia Hicks. Mor- ris Washington, who was cast in the leading role, met with an unfortunate accident the week before the production. This part was ably taken by Reuben H. Brown, Jr., of the Morrison Players, as guest actor. The performance was a success and we are about to end two most enjoyable years of expression. Jutta Hicks. SENIOR CLASS PLAY “WINGS OF THE MORNING”
