WEST GEORGIA DRAMATIC CLUB The West Georgia Dramatic Club ended a most successful first year by celebrating its success with a banquet given at the Cilfton hotel Thursday night, May 17. All the members of the club were present, except three, to gether with many of the club’ friends 1 Everyone enjoyed the occasion great ly, and a spirit of joy and pride was felt by all the members. In view of the fact that the Dramatic Club, with no previous reputation or experience anid with only a very small amount of financial aid from the school, has at the end of its first year made a good name and a fine record for itself, this celebration was very much deserved and also most appropriate. At the banquet the club in a meager effort to iji some way repay and thank its beloved director for his tireless work for the club presented Professor Strozier with a book. The president and vice-president of the Dramatic Club for next year were elected at the banquet. Frances Brock was unanimously re-elected for presi dent of the club- Billy Thomas was elected to succeed Bill Brown as vice president. Business managers will be appointed for next year by the direct or, Professor Strozier. The present business managers are Hugh House worth and Grady Reaves The Dramatic Club has recently end ed a series of successful performances of its second presentation, “She Stoops to Conquer.’ ’ The play* an old English comedy, was written by Oliver Goldsmith and was first shown in America in 1773. The club presented the play at Douglsaville April 20 at a matinee and evening performance- The matinee was given for the convenience of the high school students. The fol lowing Tuesday night, April 24, the comedy was given at Bremen. The fourth and last presentation of the play was presented Friday night, April 27, at the College street auditorium in Carrollton. Although each perform ance of the play was very successful and enjoyed by each audience, it was at Carrollton that the cast, without doubt, reached its peak of acting per fection- Here, before a full house and a most appreciative audience the actors lived up to expectations and gave a performance of truly great merit and one of polish and finish. From all reports the comedy went over in a “Bwell elegant” way. The cast consisted of: Kermit Wood, who gave a good portrayal of the gar rulous old Squire Hardcastle; Earle Newman, who as the bashful and bold Marlow, gave a fine showing of the two natures of that character; Lanier Spence, as Marlow’s friend, George Hastings, produced by his grace ful and easy manner a striking con trast to his friend’s more bashful mo ments; Billy Thomas, who played the role of Tony Lumpkin, did much to carry the play and acted well. The part of 'Sir Charles Marlow was ably played by Hugh Houseworth. Alma Folsom, as the conqueror, Kae Hard castle, was a most pleasing heroine and acted both parts of her role with mueh merit. Sadie M’orrow, as the talkative old Mrs. Hardcastle, doubtless por trayed the character as Goldsmitji him self conceived it. Margie Lee Robin son played the part of Constance Ne ville admirably. The ale-house scene was well acted by Paul Astin, M. L. Fisher, Fred Williams, Tom Harding, Bill Brown and Frances Brock. This scene gave much color to the play. The parts of the servants were also well acted and done with that neces sary finish by Leeman Simonton, Hor ace Cook, Paul Asin, Fred Williams, Macy Murphy. Prof. Gordon Watson is also to be complimented for his one showing of Jeremy, the drunk servant. He made a hit with the audience, al though he was on the stage only a ew seconds. It would be hard to say who of the cast deserves most praise. Acting throughout the entire catft was i\ell balanced. The first play presented by the DEBATING CLUB At the suggestion of Edgar Kelly all studonts interested in debating held a meeting. Plans were discussed for the formation of a debating club. The following officers were elected: Pres dent, Edgar Kelly; vice-president, Gaines Camp; secretary and treasurer, Lyman M’oore; parliamentarian. Field ing Towns. The president appointed a committee to work with Mr. Roberts on a constitution for he club. The consitutioa provided that those present at this first meeting should be char ter members. They were: David Walker, Harvey Glazier, Paul Astiu, Gaines Camp, Fielding Towns, Edgar Kelly, Taft Collett, Henry Kitchens, Leeman 'Simonton, Fred Williams, and Lyman Moore. One debate was held the first quar ter. The subject was: “Resolved, that the United Statos should recog nize the government of Russia.” As was called for in the constitution, new officers were elected at the be ginning of the next quarter. They were: President, David Walker; vice president, Harvey Glazier; secretary and treasurer, Paul Astin; parliamen tarian, Lyman Moore. Because of lack of material in the library, the club held no debates this quarter, but with the help of Mr. In gram it obtained several books on pres ent-day topics. At a call meeting after Christmas the officers for the remainder of the year were elected. They were as follows: President, Leeman Simonton; vice president, Doris Wiggins; secretary and treasurer, Pat Gober; parliamenta rian, Fred Williams.

The club was put on the student ac tivities program and given the second and fourth Wednesday nights for meet' ings- The debate in May ended the yfear. The topic was: “Resolved, that the president’s powers should be substanti ally increased as a settled policy.” Dramatic Club was “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde. The play was presented November 24th in the college auditorium and again at Villa Rica December 7. Both performances were a success and were greatly enjoyed by both audi ences- A detailed account of the play and actors has appeared in a former issue of this paper. The Dramatie Club also has the dis tinction of being the first organiation at West Georgia to entertain the stu dents and faculty at a social. This so cial was given jointly with the Men’s Glee Club Friday night, January 12- The success of both plays and of the Dramatie Club itself is due to the ex pert coaching of its Talented director, Professor Robert M. Strozier. Pro fessor Strozier has had several years of experience in coaching college dra matics- He also takes a real interest in his work. Professor Gordon Watson is also to be thanked in the capacity he serves the club as make-up man.
