Improving those watelfyas, doiftchas. Freshmen Dramatics Une of the chief aims of this club is to give boys and girls self-confidence when speaking to a group. The members of the club have had experience in record- ing their voices. The purpose of record- ing was to find their errors in speaking and to correct them. The club members wrote and acted out. skits of their own. Several people worked together in each of the skits. Mrs. Itufe, the adviser, supplied the group with booklets containing one- act plays. These were performed in class in preparation for the assembly program which was given by the club members. It's hard to be another Barrymore Advanced Dramatics Again this year there were two drama- tic clubs, one a Freshmen club, and the other for upperclassmen. Both these clubs participated in using the recorder to record their voices and the plays which they performed during club per- iods. The members were instructed by their adviser, htrs. ltufe, on how to use make-up for different characters which they portrayed. The advanced club presented an annual assembly program which consisted of a one-act play. The representatives of the club were: Pres- ident, Robert Spanningerg Vice Pres- ident, Nelson Floyd. A club such as this provides the student with the op- portunity of gaining invaluable exper- ience in drama. Okay, next time without the scripts. 129 Boy, is this ever fun!
