The Thespian Club This year appreciation is «lue the Thespian Oub for its installa- tion of the new stage equipment consisting of a system of pulleys to facilitate the moving of the scenery, and to the licLtcrnicnl Committee for the new draperies. These useful gifts, which have been needed so long on the stage, make it more systematic and give it a more effective appearance. The Thespian Club has also arranged a new plan for tryouts. Those wishing to try out are requested to prepare something original, and are then given time enough to give a total presenta- tion of their material. Formerly the candidate, after reciting only a few lines of a simple characterization, poem, or bit of nonsense, was clapped out. Membership depended to a great extent on the popularity of the candidate. 'Die new plan tends to overcome this injustice by giving the would-be Thespians a fair chance to show their dramatic ability and originality. “The Reel Thing” Dramatics have taken a more prominent place in our high school activities this year than ever before. The dramatic program has been somewhat different than in previous years. The Thespian Club, instead of giving the usual four-act play, decided to present three one-act plays in conjunction with some of the school enter- tainments. In addition to these and the annual Senior Class play, Mr. Nichols staged his comedy, “The Reel Thing.” for the purpose of securing money for the boys’ showers. 11 is happy selection of characters and his careful directing of the play resulted in a laugh- ing and very satisfied audience on the evening of May 6. The program will call to mind the play better than any criticism could. 1231
