Members of the expression department met last Tuesday evening for the purpose of organizing a drama club. Mr. Leon Willliams was appointed chairman by Miss Scully. The following officers were then elected for the ensuing year: Miss Mary Lee Williams, President; Miss Gwyndolyn Patton, vice president; Mr. Fredinando (Ferdinando??) Bello, secretary; and Miss Mary Price, Maroon and Gold reporter.
After the officers were elected, the instructor, Miss Mary E. Scully, outlined a part of the work for the ensuing year. The members were all enthusiastic and a promising year is expected.
Several splendid readings were given. Miss Alma Smith read “Friends,” Miss Marie Nobles read “White-washing the Fence,” followed by Miss Mary Lee Williams reading “Papa and the Boy.” All these were given in a most pleasing and attractive manner.
Refreshments were then served by Miss Scully, assisted by Miss Lillie Horne.
