MARGIE LOWN President Dranlatics It has been an annual affair at Downer to walk into the audi- torium and see the upcoming stars of the Senior Dramatics Club put on a play under the skillful direction of Mrs. Fritz. There is, however, much more complexity in the play presentation than may meet the eye. Into every play go months of weary practicing, a well organized stage crew, carefully created scenery and costuming, and many, many hours of contemplation and planning on the part of Mrs. Fritz. The result of all this hard work is not, however, without its reward as was revealed on May 14th when the Senior Dramatics Club received a prodigous ovation from their presentation of A Boy with az Cart and other short comedies.

Semaphore CAROLYN DINEEN Editor Under veiled secrecy and Miss Foeller's watchful eye, the Semaphore staff labored tirelessly this year to put out the monthly edition of the paper. Ambitious reporters could been seen hurrying around school in search of a story or interviewing some lucky person. Carolyn dashed to the printers at least three or four times a day, while Hannah and Sandee ran the stall ragged. At the end of the month, however, the paper rolled calmly oil the press, and was soon in the hands of excited Downer girls. The exhausted staff breathed a sigh of relief, and then settled down to work on the next issue. SEMAPHORE STAFF Stamiing-P. King, K. Dineen, K. Kessler, F. O'Neill, D. Anderson, M.

Spring Sports After Easter Vacation, when Milwaukee be- gins to show its first signs of spring, Downer girls brave the mud, and turn to the outdoors once again. Both the baseball diamonds and tennis courts are crowded with enthusiastic girls trying desperately to get back into shape. After several weeks of hard work, Mrs. Weisel chooses the A teams for baseball. Tense games with plenty of excitement follow. At the same time the tennis tournaments are started. At first the tournaments move along slowly, but as the end of the year draws near, final matches are played with keen excitement as each girl puts forth a final effort for her team.
