4 'l'IIl'I ORACLIC Q ITOHIAL THE. POSTER CONTEST Last year through the efforts of Nliss lfloylan we had our tirst lloster Contest. and the plan proved so successful that it was repeated again this year. Iiach student in linglish Three and Iinglish lfour was re- quired to submit a poster. 'lhese contests give the students a chance ability. and al- to exhibit their artistic though the ehfort may be exacting and tir- ing. we all get a certain amount of pleas- ure from it. In the 19727 contest there was the one of 1028. less hand work than in We, by Colonel Lindbergh. proved the most popular book. One of the posters il- lustrating this volume---an original sketch of Lindbergh was unusually striking, Leonore Gritiis was awarded the prize for her very beautiful representation in colors of The Bright Shawl, Honorable men- tion was awarded to lilizabeth lfelt. whose clever poster 'tl'eter l'an. in silhouette. won much praise. and to Dorothy Goodwin. whose illustration for The ,Xrabian Nights was very attractive. The students whose works have been chosen for the library exhibit are to be congratulated indeed. M, '28 A DRAIVIATIC SOCIETY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL .Xlthough as we graduate from our school and look back upon the good times it has given us. we think of it as the best in the world. yet we must admit that other schools surpass it in one way. IYe have no dramatic association, It seems almost a shame that in a school of our reputation. in a school which has ex- celled in athletics and scholarship. no pro- vision for amateur acting has been made. Pick up any school paper from our ex- change. liven the one representing the smallest school will boast of its latest dra- matic productions. This fall Miss XYorn- ham tried to interest a group from 'l'het.1 in something of this sort. but we lacked either ambition or eontitlence, and despite our sponsor's attempts. the plan failed. If a dramatic group was organized thor- oughly independent of any other society. with membership open to both the boys and girls of the school who were willing to work, don't you think it would meet with better success? Such a club should be able to produce at least one short play a month -one possibility might be a sketch from Shakespeare. played upon the day com- memorating the great dramatist's birthday. Thus would be awakened a deeper interest in the worth-while drama. Perhaps the plan would not succeed. but we are at loss to think of any reason for its failure. XYhy not try it. Class of 1029? ln good looks I am not a star. There are others more lovely by far. But my face I don't mind it, Because I'm behind it. It's the people in front that I jar. The ditference between learning to drive a motor and learning to play golf is when you learn to play golf you don't hit any- thing. lfred Appleton- How come you call your car 'Abie's Irish Rose ?' lim Lowerree- XN'ell. it isn't any good, and yet it's still running. XVhere're you going. little Hea? l'm going to the dogs.
