15 Make-Up The curtain is up, the play is on and Murphy High scores another success- ful year in the art of drama and com- position. The senior players, a very important division of the Four Arts Club, being made up entirely of Juniors and Seniors, has endeavored this year to learn through experience the antics of acting and the art of public speak- ing. To obtain their goal the club presented for the entertainment of the students and interested outsiders, three outstanding one-act plays which brought all other attainment to a showdown. posed of Freshmen and Sophomores, has as its purpose to foster the very best in dramatics and to study plays, playwrights, and actors. The members receive excellent training for acting in public and in developing self-confidence in public speaking. The purpose of the Creative Writers Club, under the sponsorship of Miss E. Lura Moore, is to promote interest in Contemporary literature and to encour- age pupils to develop their own powers of speaking and writing interestingly.

Brunson. Kennedy As “literature is a written record of man’s best thought and feeling” the students of Murphy High School asso- ciate daily with kings of thought. As work in fundamentals aims to estab- lish as a habit the use of basic princi- ples, the student body should learn ex- actness through this carefully planned phase of work. As instruction in com- position aids in the writing and the ap- preciation of effective compositions, Murphy High School pupils should be able to write and also to appreciate them. Courses in dramatics, journal- ism, and public speaking give talented pupils a chance to travel the road of their special interest. To promote and regulate their various interests, the Fundnmcntali and the Supplement have been combined. The material in new and more modern textbooks, which holds the interest of pupils, has been placed on a regular schedule and as a result is more beneficial to the pupils through organization, carefully planned. The latest books have been purchased by the English Department so that the course of study for the English Department will be in accord with modern progress.

Kohn Interview Martini What goes on behind the scenes in the Murphy Hi Times press room was made an open secret when the editorial and business staffs of the school newspaper presented a playlet in assembly to herald the subscription campaign. Students hold- ing executive positions on the staff were at home on the stage as they made ready to put the third issue to bed. History was in the making when the Hi Times staff arranged the 1936 debut of the paper for the first day of school. Besides making the first issue a free one, the staff repeat- ed this generous gesture by giving away the third issue. The goal for the year was eighteen editions—an increase of four over last year.
