First Nighters Suit the Actions to Fit Words As One Big Happy Family ot Actors, Thespians Ot Samuel Fetters Bring Broadway Here -klsightsl Action! Curtain! How ia- miliar these commands have become in the minds of the dramatics students. Cooperation stands as the masthead in this organization, for many are re- sponsible in the production's success even though they are never seen by the audience. Each member ot the class belongs to one oi the committees composed ot actors, make-up artists, property and stage crews, and student directors. Their work is not all in producing skits and plays tor the school assem- blies, tor the dramatists also study the techniques ot stage presentation, thes- pianism, and the interpretation ot po- etry. Under the direction ot Samuel Fetters, dramatics instructor, the out- standinggplays oi the time are studied and produced. Class members gain valuable ex- perience by taking charge ot all the oft-stage work required tor the junior and senior class plays. Some are at the switchboard, some stand behind scenery ready to prompt actors who forget their lines, and others are busily employed shitting scenery. Dramatics is a favorite among the students because it enables them to speak fluently before an audience and lends the faculties ot stage poise and self assurance. Light, a one act play, enacted by Isabella Wilder, Iacqueline Frank, Iohn Dale, Victor Deeb, and Stewart Poul- son, received an excellent rating. Iohn Dale was proclaimed the best actor ot the evening, Marthella Holcomb was rated excel- lent in dramatic reading and both Bessilee Ganzel and Betty Ieanne Hol- comb were classed as superior in humorous reading and original oratory respectively. 21 ALL FOR THE SAKE OF DRAMATICS . . . Running close competition with Zasu Pitts, Bcssilee Ganzel goes into facial contortions to mimic students on The Last Day of School. GAZING . . . Prior to a ccrpuscle-curdling scream, Marthella Holcomb assumes the character of a crazed maniac in search of The Button. CURTAINS . . . Jean Edwards reaches for the moon before a skeptical audience, Helen Moore, Phyllis Erickson, Robert Eldred, Victor Deeb, Evelyn Richards, Doris Carver, Betty Dickson, Elaine During, Betty Fern, Bette Jeanne Scheeler, Mignon Marsteller, Dorothy Dickson, Velma Turner, Marian Beard, Olive Munn, Iona Daehnke. and Nanette Noyes. BLOOMING BERNHARDTS . . . Doris Carver, jean Edwards, Isabella Wilder, Irene Kienlen, Neva jane Harris. and Margaret Jordan go into huddle and plan to get in the swim of humorous and dramatic readings. Q A,. 1. ln 4

Latin influence on i'ntellectual refinement broadens the vocabulary and engenders a consciousness of the many assets the World has acquired from the early Romans.
