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

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
