Millsaps College - Bobashela Yearbook (Jackson, MS)

Dramatics at Millsaps have blossomed forth this year as never before. Under the direction of Dr, M. C. White the club has presented a variety of one act plays and one full length play, Death Takes A Holiday. The Players have acquired this year a good deal of much-needed backstage equipment which, along with a large amount of new talent, has done much to make this year's presentations far superior to those of the past. Death Takes A Holiday marks a new high in Millsaps pro- ductions. In this play, Dr, White, through the cast and scenery, managed to achieve a tremendous effect which made the audience forget it was watching amateurs. Death was enthusiastically received by the student body and outsiders alike and has done much to focus the attention of Jackson play-goers on the Millsaps Players. Among the one act plays given this year were Pink and Patches, The Sound and the Fury, The Man in the Bowler Hat, His First Date, The Black Valise, and The Valiant. Making-up Dress Rehearsal Cie lllllllllll The Dramatic Club in part, The Dramatic Club was carefully reorganized this year, and as a result the membership com- prises almost one-fifth of the student body. This year Joe Brooks served as president, with Betty Larsen and Bob Nichols as vice president arid secretary, respectively. ln the fall the club spon- sored a lecture on the art of make-up.

White Moore, Musgrave, Dr. White. l ll ll af l Alpha Psi Omega is the pow- er behind Millsaps' program of dramatics. Membership is composed of those who have shown their ability in acting, makeup, stage or business man- aging, property collecting, and the like. Considering the num- ber of students who participate in dramatics, its membership of eighteen is rather conservative. Officers this year were Mary Stone, presidentg Joe Brooks, vice-president, and Nelson Nail, secretary. The members meet, when there is a quorum, to dis- cuss the problems facing the club and to initiate newcomers. I lllmflll 1.31. Scenes from DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY l..
