1942 Cedrus Yearbook

=•••=•••.- The SEeitj Aiwiee .S4caotatfe.4. The Dramatic Club of 1941-42, consisting of about twenty members, was organized under the supervision of Miss Basore. The follow- ing officers were elected in the second meet- ing: President, Laurel Diltz; Vice President, Dor- othy Bogenrife; Secretary, Beatrice O'Bryant, and Treasurer, Clayton Wiseman. At one meeting a quiz program was en- joyed by all who participated. Two one-act comedies and one skit were presented this year by members of the club. They revealed dramatic ability in the society and much of their success was due to the director, Miss Basore. A one-act comedy,"Who Gets the Car To- night?" was presented at the College and upon request was given later at the High School at Carlisle, Ohio. Members of the cast were: Clayton Wiseman, Helen O'Bryant, Dean Babb, Wanda Hughes, and Robert Allen. The next presentation was a skit, "Meet the Duke." The parts were played by Alton Earnhart, Maxine Heinz, Dorothy Clark, and Betty Irvine. "Mushroom's Comin' Up" was a high-light of the year. Its success was proven by the request to be performed three times, two times at the College and once at Geyer's Restaurant in Xenia for the Cedarville College Alumni Association. The cast included, Mary Alice O'Bryant, Laurel Diltz, Beatrice O'Bryant, Vel- ma Henderson, Dorothy Bogenrife, and Beatrice Collier. The year was ended by the class play "The Family Upstairs" with the all-star cast: Laurel Diltz, John Reinhard, Orsadee Stewart, Clayton Wiseman, Rachel Neal, Keith Wright, Beatrice O'Bryant, and Beatrice Collier. The choir this year was under the able leadership of Oscar Haupt. Several very good performances were given,including abroadcast at Columbus under the auspices of the Alumni Association of Cedarville College. This per- formance was highly commended, and. all the members enjoyed the trip immensely. The choir also sang at the Men's Bible Reading Con- test, at Committal Service, and at Chapel. An- other of its outstanding performances was the Christmas Candle-light Service, very well done and much enjoyed by everyone. The second semester the mixed choir was organized into a girls' choir. This performed several times, including a performance at Bac- calaureate. Credit must be given to the sextette which sang at the Teachers' Reception and at chapel, and to several individuals, Doris Williams, Orsadee Stewart, and Harold Guthrie for solos and duets. Characteristic of Miss Williams is, that she is always there with a song. An orchestra was organized under the lead- ership of Mr. Baas of Cedarville High School. This gave excellent performances at the Teach- ers' Reception and at the Home-coming. This was Mr. Haupt's first year at Cedar- ville, and he can be commended for the ex- cellent work he produced. Other music enjoyed was the carolling done at Christmas time by all interested members, singing at the dorm at open-house, music at noon in the chapel, and other informal music times. All in all life at Cedarville has been in- spired and cheered by the performances of the musical organizations and of the dramatic club. 1.
