Composed of thirty charter active members, it aims to acquaint them with the traditions and the experiences of the stage. Each member is to have a chance to develop his skills and his dramatic ability. The club presented an assembly program in which was included the play, Sauce for the Goslingsf, On April 23 it sponsored an Open House Program for the entertainment of parents and friends. The program consisted of two one-act plays, declamations, and musical selections. Dramatics have much inHuence on the life of a student, for the values received from the training are abundant and lasting. The ability to help another person shine in the spotlight while the worker remains out of sight is also a most desired reaction. Co-operation is enlarged upon in dramatic training. The students must co-operate in their future lives and, therefore, the teaching of co-operation now is most pertinent. A pleasing personality is developed, and the student gains a working knowledge of the stage from an inside angle. Industry, originality, initiative, and good humor are qualities nourished by experiences before audiences. The Intermediate Dramatic Club meets on Tuesdays at 3:40 P. M. in the Little Theater.

Treasurer The Senior Dramatic Club, with Miss Ames as sponsor, consists of fifty members, and it 1S an organization of several years' standing. The club has several aims. Its foremost aims are to provide the art of self-expression for its members and to furnish enjoyable entertainment for the community. These ends are accomplished by the presentation of plays at school and at public performances. Each student participating in one of these plays receives training in poise, co-operation,and the ability to overcome self-consciousness. In the past year the Dramatic Club has presented several worth- while plays. Three one-act plays were presented in December as an evening entertainment. These dramas were: The Florist Shop,', Submerged,,' and The First Dress-Suit. In May the club presented a three-act comedy entitled, Three Wise Fools. Also included in its year's program were several one-act plays which were presented at the school assemblies. These one-act plays were staged under student direction. To the up-and-coming young man and woman the Senior Dramatic Club imparts a definite educational value. The poise and self- conlidence that is gained through the experience of being in a play is invaluable. Meetings may be called for any Thursday afternoon at 3:30 P. M. I27
