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.' With a lot of paint, and a prop or two Each Bernhardt and Barrymore Goes after his cue. 25 Xsxx-,,ff

The heading was changed to a modernistic version of the new school building, and several members were added to the staff. The quality of the paper was im- proved by more art work and a three instead of two-column page. Students and teachers showed their approval of the changes by staunchly supporting the drive for subscriptions. The Cherry and White aims to entertain as well as to inform, and its purpose has been fulfilled through the able and enthusiastic work of the staff. Members of the student body who have done cub reporting in preparation for next year's staff' are Lionel Bouchard, Eleanor DuFrsin, Frances Walliser, Dorothy Raising, and William Therion. -xX0 M' 'm 9l-4 ef , 'bo A ll 'fm' Asiavwo 25 if X X
