Now in 38, Miss Kohankee, a new teach- er at M.M.H.S., is the supervisor of it s 45 members—the largest membership the Dramatic club has known. The purpose and aim of the club is to recognize and aid in developing any talent in those pupils interested in dramatic art. With the above in view we accomplished the study of early drama in Eng- land and America; skits, monologues and the development of the one-act play. For poise and stage etiquette, the presentation of monologues and dialogues, to the group only, were encouraged. To further the latter an assembly program was sponsored by the club on April 1, consisting of readings and skits with several musical selections to fill in. Mrs. Robert Soules, an interesting speaker on drama, was sponsored by the dramatic group on April 29, for the pleasure of the entire student body. A one-act play given May 13 concluded the yearly performances of the organization. The officers are: President, Norma Bond; Secretary-treasurer. Jack Jones; Program Chairman, Gertrude Kubach.
