Chatles Bass, Frank Hull. Stuart llrown. The year 1958 can very deservingly be called the year of progress in the Platonic Society. From the first meeting, the society members established their desire to achieve a clearly superior record, and in the apparent interest and enthusiasm of the mem- bers, this has been demonstrated. Programs rang- ing front formal debates, through extemporaneous debates, to dramatic readings on a lighter scale, have been well planned, prepared, and executed. The Society sponsored an intersociety debate, a new-type debate never before executed, other than the mid-term and final debates. The primary pur- poses of this debate, held in early October, was to create more interest in the Society and to help screen talent for the mid-term debate. Two teams were elected to compete with the sister society on the same topic. In late November, three distinguished under- classmen were elected to the posts of mid-term debators. lfrank Hull and Charles Bass were chosen as the debators with Stuart Brown as the alternate. Nleeting the llamilton Opposition early in April, this team was defeated, with dilhculty. 'l'he NlidfI'erm Debate is one ol' the newer of XVebb traditions, having received its start in the early lfl20's. In early spring, Buford Anderson and Murray Summers were elected to the high and extremely important position of Final debators. Stanley Tay- lor was elected alternate. These leaders of the society meet during the commencement week with the opposing society's team and present theirx debate. Foundations have been laid to see tllat the Pla- tonic Literary Sociely will continue to function outstandingly. Page 55

DRAMATIC CLUB ' The presentations of the Drarnatics Club have long been highlights of the school year. In the past years the Club has given such outstanding plays as The Hasty Heart, The Solid Gold Cadillac, The Prisoner, and Criminal at Large. The two productions this year were Arsenic and Old Lace, and St, joan. Arsenic and Old Lace. a long time favorite on Broadway, was a great success in its Webb premier. Henry X'Vhiteside and Pete Blanton as Abbie and Martha Brewster gave creditable performances in their portrayal of the two scheming old ladies. john Brown, as Teddy Brewster, kept the audience in constant laughter, while Tom McKinny was very convincing as the unsuspecting nephew. Murray Summer's portrayal of the wayward nephew and Bill Powers as his accomplice were very convincing and won high acclaim from those who saw the play. Others in the production were Stanley Tay- lor, Chuck Bucke, Charles Bass, Mike Larkan, and Rob- ert Larkan. Page 56 Cd.. ..-M it
