Since this is a fairly new organization in the college, it is still in the developing period. This year there were many improvements made in the Y. W. room where the Club's meetings have been held. Through the cooperation of the college and Noah Sharpe, the society was able to pur- chase a stage, a row of footlights, and two flood-lights along with a rheostat. With this equipment as a start the society will be better able to improve in the future: The first semester the club had a meeting every two weeks. At every other meeting either one or two one-act plays were presented. The program of the meetings when the plays were not being given consisted of either a speech or the reading of a play. The idea of having a talk on drama or reading some examples of good drama was originated this year. During the year, talks on different aspects of the drama were given by Rev. Bowers and Justin Hartman. Miss Basore gave a series of readings. The plays that were read by members of the society included: scenes from Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln; The Bishop's Candlesticks by Hugo; and Wurzel-Flummery by A. A. Milne. The plays presented by the society included: The Pink Geranium; scenes from Romeo and Juliet; A Sign Unto You; Dust of the Road; Roses and Haircuts; Overtones; The Whirligig of Life; How the Story Grew; and The Valiant. The last three plays were given as a public performance in the gymnasium in April. Several plays were given before women's clubs, and the society sponsored a program at Carlisle. As the closing performance the Dramatic Club sponsored a commencement play. NEIL HARTMAN President. Page Thirty-Seven
