The aim of the Thespians is to create a spirit of active and intelligent interest in dramatics among boys and girls of the secondary schools. The Thespian Troupe of our school, Troupe 119, guided during the past two years by Miss Schielke, is an organization of which we can be proud, On February 24th this chapter presented their annual three-act play, entitled Papa ls All. The oneaact play con- test in which all four classes participated, also was sponsored by this organization. One of the highlights of the activities of the Thespians this year was a beautiful and very impressive formal initiation, held in December, in which thirteen new members were admitted to the Troupe. May the traditions of the Thespians live on in years to come and may all future mem- bers succeed in upholding the Thespian motto-i'Act well your part-,Therein all honor lies.

Thespian Play PAPA IS ALL The play, chosen by Miss Scheilke, the director and troupe sponsor, was one of tre- mendous originality. It was of a type which had never been presented on our stage before, and we must give credit to the cast for the fine job they did with it. There were only six characters in the entire play, thus giving major roles to every member, which they portray- ed with perfection. The play was written entirely in Pennsylvania Dutch dialect. lt was the story of a family which was ruled by the iron-hand of Papa . Kept from modern in- ventions and their own personal freedom, they grew rebellious. Papa is accidently killed . but in the third act mysteriously returns to the dismay of all. The Hpoleece-man , comes to the rescue of the family and takes Papa oil' to jail, so all is well with the Aukamps . Eeninr Class Play 'ANINE GIRLS After weeks of screaching their lungs out, hitting each other with stove-pokers, and opening closet doors concealing dead bodies, the all-girl cast was finally ready. due to the coaching of their director, Miss Thompson, to give their final production of a blood-curdl- ing drama, Nine Girls . The cast was a most unusual one, but one of extreme ability. The story centered around a girl of an unfortunate background and who had been taken camping with some of her sorority sisters of considerable wealth. Murder stalks the cabin and the climax was one very surprising to an audience of nearly 700 people. The cast of characters for Nine Girls is pictured on the next page. Page Twenty-six
