White The Buskin Club, one of the oldest organizations in the school, has again lived up to its reputation, and has led the school in its activities of the year. Success has been the keynote of the happen- ings of the club during the past year. Tryouts for Buskin member- ship during the past year evidenced the fact that there are many people who are desirous of becoming members of the only dramatic organization of the school. However, the club finds that it can accomplish a great deal more in dramatic activities with a member- ship of thirty-five, so they confine themselves to that number. The meetings of the club have been unusually interesting, and one act plays that have been ably coached by the sponsors have been given at nearly every meeting The first play presented was French VVithout a Masterf' which included the following cast: Carrol Wleigel, Val Schmohl, Delores Cramer, Gladys Lewis, Faye Jewell, Howard Tempte, and John Boylan. Another fantastical play, A Fan and Two Candlesticks, was presented by Betsy Iden, Matt Prijanovich, and Edward Haddad. Jean-Marieu was the name of another clever one act play that was presented. Those appearing in this cast were Avis Horton, Chester Vifangerin, and Fred Heitman. Fred Dickeman, Faye Jewell, Lois Byers, Alice Johnson, Doro- thea Fox. Gladys Lewis, Lillian Jadock, and Carrol VVeigel partici- pated in the comedy, The Play-goersf' Two Crooks and a Lady was the title of a stirring one act drama. Participating in this were Edward Haddad, Anne Rodecap, Margaret Bennett, Pearl Frieberg, John Boylan, and Joe Murphy. The big three act comedy, Cousin Kate, was presented by the club on February 27 and was a decided success. The cast was ably coached under the direction of Mr. Coate, and the performance was equal to that of professionals. The cast included the following members who were selected by tryouts: Jessie Mulder, Alice John- son, Lois Byers, Irene Bjerklien, Matt Prijanovich, Howard Tempte and Val Schmohl. Last, but not least, we will mention the Buskin formal, which was given on the evening of February 22 in the large gymnasium of the school. It was the big pre-lenten function of the school year. It was a successful party held in a pretty setting with good music, and everyone had a wonderful time. Much of the success of the past year has been clue to the combined efforts of the Sponsors and ofhcers. E -H
