THE WORKSHOP THE Workshop started off this year with a terrific show; combining talents with the Senior Music Club, it went back a few years to present a Gay Nineties Review. This show included singing and dancing by the Bathing Beauties and the Flora Dora Sextette, a few solo numbers, and a tap dancing routine. It also included a barber shop trio, a ride on the bicycle built for two, and a visit to the ball game. The short skit Way Down West was hilariously received, and the show came to an end with a sensational dance by four lovely Can Can girls. Of course we can ' t forget the delicious refreshments which followed the show. In March, the members of the Workshop arranged an original skit about a day at Packer, characterizing students and teachers. This was presented to the high school and college students and the faculty. The officers of the club are: Thelma Aschenbach, President; Marjorie King, Vice- President: Ann Besthoff, Treasurer; Lois Johnson, Secretary. 89

THE LITTLE THEATRE THIS year the Little Theatre has been very active. A play was given by each class with the officers of the Little Theatre acting as directors. Several original skits were pre- sented. The Little Theatre also held a contest for the best original play written by a stu- dent in the Academic or Collegiate School. A prize was awarded to the winner of the contest, and her play was presented by the members of the organization. Meetings were made even more enjoyable by the refreshments which the members furnished. Those not acting in the plays donated their time to scenery, properties and costumes. The officers of the club are: Betty-Lou Norris, President; Louise Dieckmann, Vice- Pres dei! : Kate Trynin, Treasurer: Valerie Bohm, Secretary.

OUT-OF-TOWNERS THE Out-of-Towners ' Club is composed of students who have been hvuig in areas outside of Brooklyn. The purpose of the club is to see as much as possible of the cosmopolitan New York City: its museums, theatres, and various national restaurants. The members arc from such far away places as Japan, Iran, Hawaii, India, and Greece. At the traditional tea held at the end of the year these girls entertained the club with .■•ongs and dances of their countries.
