CUTS - OU'I2 HOU In chanacten A one act play directed by a Drama Club member is the opening scene for each monthly meeting of the organization. Some of the outstanding plays of this year were Don't Darken My Door, written and directed by Larry Heagle, Shooting of Dan Mc- Grew, by Gene Radtke, and Ladies of the Mop by Gerry Rassbach and Tom Buckley. Highlighting the November meeting was the Drama Club initiation which was held at East School. Twenty-nine new members were accepted. The ambition of every member is to become a Thespian. In order to do this one must accumulate ten points by acting or working in the production of a play. As part of the initiation procedure for the nine new Thespians a bang-up party was held at the Anchor Cafe. Each year some outstanding Thespian or Thespians receive what is called the Best Thespian Award. Last year they were received by Gene Radtke for his lead in Emperor Jones and Bill Vasey for his role in Dino, DRAMA CLUB OFFICERS: Faylene Christiansen, Secretaryg Larry Heagle, Vice-Presidentg Gene Radtke Presidentg I ay Wagner, Treasurerg Ruth Ann Jacobson, Clerk.
