Rowley The Dramatic Club was organized by the sophomore class in 1935. At that time all members of the class were members of the club. Officers were elected as follows: President, Vice-president, Secretary, Treasurer, and Faculty adviser. Soon after the organization of the club a constitution was drawn up and approved. We chose for our faculty adviser and coach, Evelyn E. Sorrow. The purpose of this club is to develop an interest and appreciation of plays through study and dramatization. The Dramatic Club has gone far since 1935 and has taken In new members through try-outs each year. The club has given presentations of several royalty plays such as: Hero Comes Patricia, Presenting Polly, The Howling Dog, and just recently three one-act plays, Mary Comes Home From College, The Deceivers, and The Invisible Clue. It has also given Ransom of the Red Chief in connection with National Education Week. A play, Hanging Uncle Henry, was presented for the Alumni Association. We also have given plays merely for the entertainment of the student body. Just What She Wanted, one of our Christmas plays, was well received. The club has earned an excellent reputation and we are all sure it will continue to gain friends through maintaining its fine standard of performances. Success to the future members of the Newington Senior High Dramatic Club. Officers: 1935-1936 1936-1937 1937-1938 President.......Conrad Charbonneau President••.C. Charbonneau President...C.
