DRAMATIC CLUB WE STARTED the year with a bang up good picnic at College Settlement, complete with hot dogs, baseball and songs around the fire. It proved to be a good beginning and got some of the older members better acquainted with the new Junior members. Later, at a meeting in October we discussed plans for the coming year and enjoyed Dr. Patrick's reading of “Have You Had Your Operation? In January, with winter term in full swing, we were invited to Dr. Patrick's for her justly famous waffle supper. Everything was as good as usual and the fun was heightened by listening to records and playing matsies. February found us busily rehearsing “The Man in the Bowler Hat with Nancy George, Judy Horne, Laurabelle Gross, Scotty Nunn, Lauren Oakford and Mike Beaver as the stars and Sheila Chase as the man in the bowler hat. It was a howling success and fun was had by those both on and off the stage. Everyone cooperated for a lovely May Day festival in honor of the gracious May Queen, and though hard work, we were all glad we had had a part in it when it was over. We closed our year with another wonderful picnic and with many thanks to Dr. Patrick for all her kind help and welcome suggestions. 23

RIDING CLUB HORSES arriving one by one—-the stable's full—the horses prancing and the riders ready for a year of fun. Rides in the fall blazing new trails—rides in the winter, chilly and fast—rides in the spring when our feet don't freeze . . . Hold Nellie back—keep Mae up—make Reka walk—Keep Genie down—give Boo company—start Gypsy racking—and Whippasaw lie down—now everybody's happy! Remember the horse auction at Newtown Square? Fifty fifty, going sixty—sixty sixty, going seventy—who will buy this fine chestnut mare? Gentle as a kitten—seventy—seventy— do I hear any moie? Sold! for seventy dollars. (What a night!) With spring comes the Devon Show, highlight of the riding club activities plus other horsey events. 25
