Under the direction of Alden Allbaugh, those inter- ested in the dramatic side of life, as an avocation or, who knows, maybe a vocation, are given a chance to learn by experience. Classroom work consists of study of the drama, radio, motion pic- tures, theatrical makeup, reading of plays and putting on one-act plays. The plays which are prepared by the students are often loaned out for programs here in town or many times in the country schools. Mr. Allbaugh also takes care of selecting casts and directing the class plays. Under his direction, this year's Senior group presented Pride and Prejudice adapted from the novel of Jane Austen. Last year, as Juniors, they enacted t'Mother ls a Freshman. The Junior class this year presented the comedy, 'tMen Are Like Street Cars. Left, SCENE FROM MOTHER IS A FRESHMANI' seated: F. L.
