This play was very effective because it also included the dance and the characters wore costumes of the colonial period. The other two plays given were The Ghost of a Freshman , and The Valiant . The club this year has thirty-three members and has had an active year. At Christmas time the club gave the assembly program and pre- sented a dramatization of Dickens' Christ- mas Carol. The study of the theater is now being made which will include a trip to the theater. The club activities will close this year with a dinner given in honor of the characters who presented The Valiant. This play was awarded the first place in the contest of the three plays. Alice Lasher received the award for the best girl character and Frank Cieslak the award for the best boy character. This is the third year that the Dramatic Club has been organized and it is under the direction of Helene Prichard. The members have enjoyed the work and have gained some dramatic experience. p1j,c hfteen

History oif the Freshman Cllass Wli, being formerly called grade children , entered into high school in September, 1938, and changed our title to the more dignified one of Freshmen . We are not following the newly made paths in high school education, but those which are worn from the footsteps of those who have trodden them before us. Our goal, like those other freshmen of the past, is to graduate from this institution of learning and go on to the higher levels of education. ln our hrst year of high school we have tried to become serious, and have also en- deavored to settle down to four years of hard study and show those who are Sophomores, Juniors, or Seniors, that our title does not Ht us at all. During the hrst semester we organized and elected the following members of the class as officers: President, Lois Reader, Vice-presi- p lge fourteen dent, Douglas Bartlett, Secretary, Esther Terns, Treasurer, Anne Weigel. Our social activities have been rather lim- ited. The only social event of the year was a Halloween party with the Sophomore class in October, which turned out to be a big suc- cess, despite the rivalry between the two classes. The girls representing us in sports were Gertrude Kimball and Mary Yarozg the boys were Ernest Donovan, David Clough, David Stoddard, Lee Brown, August Bozzone, Doug- las Bartlett, and Robert Schafer. There are forty-nine members in our class. At the beginning of the term there were only forty-six, but during the second semester three more were added. Our class advisor, Miss Helen Evans, has been a true friend and guide to us throughout the year.

Faculty Play Tlili members of the faculty of Sauquoit Valley Central School presented the play Jane Eyre this year. This play was a departure from the former plays presented and seemed highly acceptable to the audience. The costumes were of the period 1846 and were the costumes which were worn when the original production was staged in the New York Theater Guild. The leading characters were taken by Ellen Burke and George Wforrell. The supporting cast included Miss Helen Evans, Miss Irene Cassidy, Miss Lela Glen- denning, Mrs. Helene Prichard, George Norton, and Fay Axtell. Mrs. Harvey Skinner directed the players. Other members of the faculty assisted in staging, costuming, ushering. and advertising. K page sixteen or on -f Lv-13 an L44
