To be in the club a per- son must have ten points which are obtained through the Dra- matics Club work. Thespians work hand in hand with the club and help with their plays. Mr. David Gover ' s five new debaters had a very unsuccess- ful year. With little experience, they met Tawas Area, Big Rapids, Ionia, and Gladwin. The team debated eight times and lost them all. They also participated in the State League. No Room in the Inn was the one-act play pre- sented by the Y- Teens at the Christmas assembly just before vacation. In to the story of a woman and her daughter who had no place to spend Christmas Eve were woven carols and the Christmas spirit.
