' I ANNE HACKETT President ; dag, I u MARGARET HUDSON, Vice-President DOROTHEA FREED Secretary ANNE HACKETT Librarian THE THALIA Dramatic Club has as its object to promote friendly interest in dramatics and to further the work of the Speech Department by the presentation of plays. Early in October a tea was held in Metzger Hall for the new students interested in dramatics. The presidents of both the Thalia Club and Alpha Psi Omega gave short talks on the aims and ambitions of both clubs, as well as short sketchings of the programs for the year. Membership is obtained by earning a certain number of points for crew work, acting, backstage work, publicity, directing or any type of work connected with the stage. Thalia's greatest dramatic year was ushered in by Isabel Mackay's three act comedy, Goblin Gold. We had a theatre party at Ford's, seeing Maurice Evans in ttKing Richard the Second. A new undertaking tor the club was the holding of monthly meetings, at which modern plays and the theatre to today were discussed. At the end of the year many new members had been initiated into our ranks and as we close the 1938 season, we have a great feeling of enthusiasm for the drama and know that this has been a most successful year in our so short history.

We have striven this year to make the Gamma Sigma Cast worthy of Alpha Psi Omega. We have had two initia- tions, each bringing into our group excellent material. For our major production we decided to aim high and present something entirely different. We did, in giving The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. It proved to be not only highly successful financially, but it delighted its audience, which after all was our purpose. We sincerely wish to thank Miss Rigg for her time, her efforts, and the inspiration she has given us. We ended our perfect year with a luncheon at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. We feel we can point with pride to the successes of our Gamma Sigma Cast. First Row:-S.- Freed, A. Hackett, D. Hoecker, M. Rigg. Second RowseP. Reinhardt, l. Hackett, L. Tolson, D. Frazier, P.
