DRAIVIATIC CLUB The Stage Door Stars , was directed by Miss Snyder and Mr. Swiger. This year the club has been divided into three separate sections. Besides the Acting Sec- tion, there was the Make-Up and Costuming sections open to those people who were interested in the behind-the-scenes work. The Make-up Section of the club studied the general use of make-up and how to apply it. Much time was spent on the different ways of aging people on the stage. Members of this section had charge of the make-up for the senior class play this year. The Costuming section offered to the members an oppor- tunity to show their talents on making elaborate costumes for the play UEvery Man given by the members of the dramatic section. A one-act comedy mlihe Flattering Word was entered in the Little Ten Contest and then went to the League Contest in Milwaukee and received a HB rating. Not only did this section of the club receive an opportunity to act on the stage but Mr. Swiger also taught the members the fundamentals of acting.
