After much discussion the name of 'The Thespians was agreed! upon as most appropriate. At the beginning of the year varieties of plays were read and dis- cussed, then the actual work of the club was begun. Three plays were chosen: Abraham Lincoln, by John Drinkwater, White Elephants, by Kenyon Nicholson, and The Betty Attitudes, by Maude Barnes Miller. After the casting, those chosen to take part in the plays started in with a will. Abraham Lincoln was the first play to be presented. This was given during the Senior auditorium session, on February 7. After this presentation, many hours of hard Work were devoted to the practicing of White Elephantsf' and The Betty Attitudes, Which were both given in a Senior auditorium session in the latter part of April. At the close of the year, the Thespians purchased pins, which will serve as a reminder of the many hours spent in pleasant Work. In closing, the Thespians wish to thank their sponsor, Miss Slutz, and their officers, Hessie Hoifner, Presidentg Beatrice Pfeister, Vice President, Marjorie Fitzgerald, Secretary, and Ruth Alberts, Treasurer, for their willing cooperation and help. -Hessie Hojfneo' -Miriam O'Ko'e1zt Sophomore Dromczitic Club First Row: Smith, Levine, Hoifnex-, Fitzgerald, Okrcnt, My:rs, Smedlcy.

QllllllllINllllllDllliQ lIDlIRAllMIlQfMllllIll'3 lBlll9lllllllb FFICERS of the Junior Dramatic Club, which is sponsored by Miss Freeman, are: President, Glenna Weishauptg Vice President, Chas. Koppg Secretary, Verna Niemes, Treasurer, Verna Gruelle. This year's work of the club has been in the main preparation and training for the big play which is to be given in the latter part of the year, and for carrying on successfully the dramatic Work which We hope to take next year. The fact that credit is being given for club Work done in dramatics has been an inducement to put forth an eifort. So far this year we have given a one act play entitled, Spreading the News in which the central theme is how much a little gossip gathers as it is told again and again, or how mountains grow from mole hills. We presented this play for an audience composed of Mrs. Watson's Senior Dramatic Club, and Miss Slutz's club. We hope to be able to present this play sometime later for a Senior auditorium session. Other one act plays are claiming our attention at this time. One is a comedy entitled Hot Air,', the other a very interesting play called Uncle J immyf' Each play has enough characters to give each member of the club an opportunity to participate.
