DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club of 104 is under the direction of Miss Clancy. There has been a splendid growth in the club, and after try-outs, thirty members were selected. The first semester, 3 two-act play, iiA Perplexing Situation? and a one-act play, iiIn Spring a Young Maifs Fancy? were given by the club as evening entertainments. Those who took part in the first play were: Leo Wolk, Rachele Zieve, Mary Min Clancy Page Twenty-eigbt Deikel, Gershon Weinberg, Israel Noodelman, Ruth Davis, Sewell Gordon, Joe Blindman, and Phyllis Crotty. The cast of itIn Spring a Young Man,s Fancy, was: Bernice Glotter, Betty Peterson, Leo Wolk, Isabel Cohen, Hilda Miller, Bernice Cowl, and Ruth Feller. . Much of the work the second semester was devoted to a four-act play, iiRivalryf, which was also given in the evening. Every club member had some part in this produc- tion. The purpose of the club is to give every member an opportunity to take part in some dramatic work, and to fur- nish entertainment for the Lincoln junior high school pupils.

DRAMATIC CLUB The glare of the footlights, the taste of lipstick, the thrill of a hrst night, stage fright, and nervousness, all are parts of the lure that makes the Dramatic Club of 325 one of the feature clubs of Lincoln. These, however, represent but a small part of the activity carried on in the club, and the notebooks and outlines testify to other real work accomplished during the year. Our collection of pictures and information of present- -. .. , . day celebrities testify to our interest in the modern stage. Some of the problems we have been working on are: technique of speech, vocal exercise, interpretative reading, gestures, origin of the drama, divisions of modern drama, and play production and construction. The Dramatic Club offers opportunity for expression of the talents of its forty members. Mr. Klaffke directs the work. The attendance and appreciation shown at the various plays presented, testify to the school,s enjoyment of this ., activity. Mr. K1451 Page Twenty-seven

DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club of 227 is such a busy club, as busy as one would wish to see! The club started its year,s work by drilling on character dramatizations, voice, gesture, and stage work. They received considerable help from radio voices and familiar radio announcers whom they studied. A program of work was agreed upon: to work for self-control, to enter a room or to appear on the stage in a fitting manner, and to face an audience with poise and dignity. Other points kept in mind were: to co-operate in all ways for best results when giving a play, and to develop dramatic ability. The first public appearance of this group was in a one-act play, iiGrandma Pulls the String? given for an auditorium period on May 7. The student as- sembly appreciated this very much. Mrs. Johnson,s coaching and drilling has brought out dramatic ability and talent in many of her pupils. Page Twenly-nine
