The dramatics club was organized this year with the following officers: Neil Hartman, president; Clayton Wiseman, vice-president; and Norman Linton, secretary-treasurer. The Dramatics Club met at least once a month during the year. The following plays were presented at the regular meetings by members of the society: "Honor", For the Love of Kitty", scenes from ''Abraham Lincoln in Illinois", ''Auf Weidersehen", The Valiant'', a skit satirizing futuristic painting, a radio play and "On Account of the Lobster." The faculty presented a play, which was entitled, "The Pot Boiler", at one of the regular meetings. The members of the club gave two plays in the Methodist Church during the year. The first one was "The Topaz of Sthiopia", a Christmas play and the second one was "His Cross" an Easter play. The society also presented programs at South Solon and Jamestown. At these meetings the play "Roses and Haircuts" and a skit were given. Miss Basore had chargeof several of the meetings. She re- viewed the plays in New York; gave a demonstrated lecture on stage rules; and she conducted a group of pantomimes. At one meeting Mr. Kilpatrick reviewed the plays and operas that he saw in Europe. The climax of the year was the commencement play, "Nothing But the Truth" which was sponsored by the Dramatics Club.
