Mr. Mahan, faculty coach of the soccer team, built up an invincible eleven to commence the 1940 season. Injury to players, and Mathewson's withdrawal from school smashed the front line defense, resulting in three wins against seven losses for Newington. Of the twenty points put under the bar, the senionsbooted sixteen of them: Casey, seven, Simkus, six, and Stamm, three. Better luck to the team of forty-one. N.

GOLIPCLI B ,H v dr f A I f slr W' Mr. Mahan ladvisery, E. Kornak, H. Smolak, C. Levinski, G. Keleher, J. Rapacki, J. Mazilaus- kas, R. Keleher The golf team for 1941, with three state championships behind it, has much to live up to, yet, only one veteran player remains to provide the backbone of the team. WKy' Levinski ably supported by Gordon Keleher, blasts his way through many tight sports to bring Newing- ton closer to this season's tournament. It is hard to forecast the team's chances for this year, since the new players are, as yet, rather unstable. Mr. Mahan, faculty adviser to the state champions of the past two years, may, by skillful manipulation, lead this year's team to victory. It can be said, however, that regardless of final results, the members of the 1941 Golf team will give a good account of themselves.

Myers The High School Dramatic Club, organized in October, 1955, is the oldest organization in the Senior High School. Formed as an aid to better speech, skill in dramatics, and a more complete understanding of stagecraft, the club has grown rapidly under the direction of Mrs. Evelyn Sorrow Root, faculty adviser. With local entertainment its principal aim, the Drama- tic Club has gained increasing popularity with special arrangements of 'Arizona Dude Ranch,' fAdults Almost,' and nPeck's Bad Boy.W The latter, skillfully publicized, with a preview filmed by Mr. Root, proved worthy of a repeat performance. Proceeds of these many well-received performances have been used for the welfare of the school. Furniture has been purchased for the Teachers' Room and a set has been constructed, which is used by the Parent Teachers' Associations and Junior High Dramatic Club. A spot- light for advanced lighting effects, and slip covers for a change in color harmony complete the list of offerings. An ever-increasing demand for film projection has led the adviser to write two scenarios a comedy, and a short subject based on school spirit. These are to be filmed using club tal- ent and presented as an evening's entertainment in the near future. It Seems fitting that MTS- Root should install this modernistic trend in stagecraft as she leaves the organization, since it was she who originated the Dramatic Club and brought Newington its first local entertainment. The Dramatic Club has grown with the town and every endeavor shall be made to keep this organization the first to adopt scientific advancements on the stage and screen.
