A group of over thirty Juniors and Seniors interested in the study of dramatics in the fall of 1957 organized into the Thespians. The Club met twice a month during the school year. The meetings were entertaining as well as educational. Studies of the Club included the history of the stage, biographies of famous actors and actresses, plays, the funda- mentals of lighting, stage-settings, and make-up. A make-up contest ftheatrical of coursej proved interesting as well as instructive. The Club presented two short skits for a Thanksgiving assembly pro- granu They hope to do more of this work in the future as our new auditorium with its splendid stage and excellent acoustics is an ideal place for dramatic productions. The Dramatic Club is closely connected with the Speech course which was introduced into our curriculum this year. Miss Smythe, who teaches Speech, also sponsors the Thespians. With an urn that rolls, And a curtain that won't, The Thespians nge to town.n They nspeak the speechn And try to reach The heights of an actor's'sto1es.'

Consequently this year the librarians with the aid of Miss Northrup, their sponsor, organized the Library Club. The Club meets once a month to become better acquainted with our library and library systems in general. The educational program consists of learning the decimal classification of the library, how to use the card files and catalogs, and a study of the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. Part of the meetings are concerned with exchanging and discussing problems of librarianship. Book reviews also have their place. Of course the social side of the Club is not neglected. As a result of these activities the library runs more smoothly. The members of the Club profit personally, for they gain some idea of what to expect should they care to continue library work after leaving school. Miss Horthrup's experience and able direction have helped make the initial year of Ure Library Club a successful one. 22
