1938 Cedrus Yearbook

DRAMATIC CLUB To start the year with a bang (—and what a bang!) the club sponsored a hay ride. With a truck packed with pleasure seekers we drove from Xenia to Yellow Springs, then on to Springfield where Benny McNeal (trying to drive with one hand—so they say) nearly landed us all in the police station. Some weeks later Benny received an itemized bill of $112.50 for lamp post fixtures. This year we have tried to create more interest in the meetings by presenting a series of one act plays, among which were: The Wedding Present, The Florist Shop, The Tale of a Shirt, Girls Will Be Girls, Lovely Lady, the court scene from The Merchant of Venice, and You Can Never Tell What a Woman Will Do. These plays were directed and acted by members of the club under the supervision of Miss Basore and Miss Santmyer. The Club has also staged some three act plays sponsored by various organizations. The climax of the Dramatic Club's efforts was The Late Christopher Bean, a popular Broadway hit and screenplay. .;• First Row: Junia Creswell, Neil Hartman, Geneva Clemens, John Gillespie, Elizabeth Anderson, Roy Linton, Merieum Foulk, Ray Sisson, Clara Belle Ankeney, John Peterson, Rachel Creswell, William Lott.
