DRAMATIC CLUB The first big project of the fall season was the very successful production of Pride and Prejudice. After the excitement of the play died down, the Dramatic Club turned to other phases of the theater. Club periods were devoted to learning more about scenery, costuming, and make-up. The club mem- bers also worked on pantomimes and the Common Room often rang with laughter during the presenta- tion of the Silent skits. A tape recorder, along with extracts from plays, also provided many amus- ing moments for the club, Mrs. Maurice Starky, Ir. gave an informative lecture on drama in the college curriculum. The interest of the members of the Dramatic Club has made the 'organization a very profitable and popular one. Seated on floor: S. Lillyg L. Walkerg J. Veltmang C. Daley. Seated: N. Meeksg D.

This committee is organized in a pyramid fashion, with the vice- president of the School Government presiding over the group which is composed of six elected repre- sentatives from the Upper Main. The committee in turn appoints forty-five proctors, whose duties in- clude taking attendance, supplying information, and maintaining an atmosphere conducive to studying. As a result of the tireless efforts of Florrie Roy and Miss Feeley, this newly formed organization was moulded into an effective branch of the School Government. The committee assisted in the clarifi- cation and revision of basic Study Hall rules and procedures, and sponsored a poster contest to pro- vide the Study Hall with clever reminders of these innovations. The group has made great strides toward the ultimate aim of the Study Hall Committee-to make each girl responsible to herself for maintain- ing honorably and using wisely study halls which are pleasant and profitable. .32.

PRIDE A D Many Roland Parkers worked for weeks to give us enjoyable performances of Pride and Prejudice on the fourteenth and fifteenth of November. The unique posters, which enticed such a large audience on both nights, were the contribution of the Art Club, while Public Relations were handled by the Contemporary Club. The beautifully decorated eighteenth century drawing room was the master- piece of the Stage Technician, Mr. Ioseph Cushing. Cassie Daley and her committee, with the assistance of Miss Feeley, designed the colorful flats and fur- nishings, and the very effective lighting was pro- I PREJUDICE vided by Donnie Smith and her stage crew. Ann Vollmer, with the help of Miss Love and Miss Kelley, rounded up all the incidentals that are so necessary for the play, but sometimes so hard to Find. The cast was decked out by Gail Gardner, Mrs. T. Bradford, and the rest of the busy costume committee, and made up by Betsy Cellurale and her committee with the aid of Mme. Barrabini. Against this realistic background the actresses, after the patient coaching of Miss Bohmfalk and Dra- matic Club President Zilla Anne Iohnson, presented a highly delightful play. 4- 2 W? 1 -p f 13: 2' f i X 'l K J .
