DRAMATICS CLUB Most of the heavy dramatic artists of Wyandotte belong to the Dramatics club, which meets on alternate Wednes' days for the purpose of keeping the members up to date on important phases in the world of art. Although the primary purpose of this organization is to encourage interest in dramatic art in the high school, a social interest is developed in the dance, which the club sponsors in the fall, and the banquet, which usually takes place somewhere near the end of the school year. The most important activity of this club is the play which is given each year by the members, and, since they specialize in the study of dramatics, it is usually a wellf acted play. Standing: Bob Osborne, vicefpresident: Mr. Virgil Bergman, sponsor: Donald Cosney, scrgeantfatfarms. Seated: Irene Wolff. secretary: Vincent Williams. president: Virginia Lee Green, treasurer.

There are 39 members in all and they have meetf ings about once a month. Their main social activity is a picnic once a year. Standing: Mr. S. R.

After a club had been formed by the male members of the facf ulty, their wives decided to organize and call themselves the HifWives. The HifWives club was organized by Mrs. J. F. Welf lemeyer in 1925 to help the newcomers get acquainted. They are still getting acquainted the fourth Tuesday of each month at a tea room or hotel at a bridge luncheon. Twice a year-either at Halloween or Christmas and in the spring4the wives have parties to which their husbands are invited.
