Here a great number of talented students are given a chance to exhibit their dra- matic ability. Not all deserving students can participate in the major productions-the all-school plays-but they have many chances to perform in minor productions such as Parent-Teacher Association programs, class room projects, plays presented to the English classes, and other programs which the dramatics classes are asked to present. This year two very interesting all-school plays have been presented. The plays were Dulcy by Sidney Howard and UThe Queens Husband by Robert E. Sherwood. Under the direction of Miss Helen Johnson, the players turned out superb performances. Student actors in Dulcy were Doris Day, Juanita Latimer, Jacklyn Blair, ,lack Reed, joe Bob Moffett, Frederic St. Aubyn, Delbert Smalley, Bill Malette, Bill Stevicl-1, john Reps, and Kenneth Dennis. Those participating in uThe Queen's Husbancll' were Dorothy .lean Fay, joan Shock- ley, Donnealia Thompson, Eloise Smith, Jack Reed, Joe Bob Moffett, Frederic St. Aubyn, Isabelle Mcclung, Delbert Smalley, Edward Malmgren, james Reeves, Bill Nlalette, John Reps, Paul Jezzard, and Kenneth Dennis. 119
