h THE HISTORY OF THE GIRLS DRAMATIC CLUB $ um- HE Girls' Dramatic Club was organized in the Winter of 1912, under the leadership of Miss Stoehr. During that Winter, the girls dramatized Little Women, which was to be their first play. Many rehearsals followed and, on May 31, 1912, the Club made its debut. The play was a great success. In the Fall, the Club was ready for work again, and, though many of the old members were gone, there were many new ones coming in. Everyone was anxious to get a play started. After reading many plays, the Club decided finally to give Ye Little Salem Maide. When the Club had dramatized the book, they set faithfully to work rehearsing it, and, in the afternoon of November 28, 1912, the play was given and the Dramatic Club scored another triumph. There were no more plays, then, until April 19, 1913, when The Girls of 1776 was given. This was the first play open to the public, and a large audience enjoyed it. In June, there had to be an enter- tainment for the Alumnae, so the Dramatic Club was called on to give a play, and, on June 1, 1913, the Club gave A Box of Monkeys and Little Sister Snow. The performance was repeated on June 2 for the public, and, from the proceeds, a beautiful silk national hag was bought and given to the school. 52 The next play which the Club gave was A Midsummer- Night's Dream. This was given on December 12, 1913, and the Club made a big hit. From the prbeeeds the Club bought the Christmas dolls. It soon came time to consider another play to be given in the Spring, so the Club, after much deliberation, decided on Creatures of Impulse and Castle Comedy? The girls set to work and dramatized Castle Comedy ; then rehearsals fol- lowed. The plays were presented on May 1, 1914, and a fine crowd enjoyed them; the proceeds went to help the Uneedmefl In the Fall of 1915, the Club met andvelected their ohicers for the coming year. Elizabeth Dunham was elected President and Helen Knight, Treasurer. The Club began to work on the play they had chosen and con- tinued until December 10, 1915, when the play, Fanny and the Servant Problemlt' was presented. The play was well received and appreciated by all who saw it, and the iinancial gain went toward Christmas charity. The last play given by the Dramatic Club was a two- act comedy adapted from the French and known as the Bluffers. The Club gave it on February 16, 1916, to entertain the fathers on Fathersl Night, and all who saw it enjoyed it thoroughly. FLORIENE ROBERTS.
