THE DRAMATIC CLUB
John Hope, II., ’30
In the last few weeks the Dramatic Club has
been transformed from a dormant organization
of name only to an active club of enthusiastic
Shakspereans.
At the dramatic “try-outs” each candidate read
and interpreted some passage of poetry or drama
from a recognized author. The dramatic talent
was so plentiful and was of such calibre that an
adequate elimination was quite difficult. How
ever, with the copious supply of theatrical aspir
ants, the director, Frof. Blanton, had the oppor
tunity of finding some man who could admirably
fit every character in the cast.
With this well adapted cast they intend to pre
sent Shakspere’s illustrious comedy, “The Temp
est,” as the author would have it played. It had
been the policy of the Dramatic Club to present
annually a Shaksperean play for the benefit of
the MA.ROON TIGER, until two years ago, when
the modern drama was given a trial. However, it
seerns, that the master dramatist has asserted
himself, for it is rather generally conceded that
the Shaksperean play is the most successful in
every way at Morehouse.
Watch for the date of the dramatic treat of
the year! The cast of characters will be published
in the next issue of the MAROON TIGER. Re
hearsal was postponed during the examinations,
but now that they have passed, the cast under
the direction of Prof. Blanton, will concentrate
every effort to get out all of the wrinkles and
prepare for the forth-coming attraction.
THE SPANISH CLUB
With the closing of the first semester the
Spanish speaking population of Morehouse has
increased, so that, now the Spanish Club is ex
pected to start off at full speed. We solicit its
hearty co-operation in helping us to put out an
A1 college paper, not withstanding the fact that
the Spanish Club exerts much of its energy and
talent in the publication of its official paper “La
Hoja.”
We wish to thank the “M” Club for its response
to our request for activity. Lately, it has re-or
ganized and we have the spot light on it. We
are watching the progress of the “M” Club and
entertaining fond hopes of it becoming one of the
most active and illustrious clubs on the campus.
Mere prompt and thorough co-operation of the
clubs with the MAROON TIGER will be greatly
appreciated by the Editor, for the less time we
have to give in room to room collection of articles,
the more time we will have for more profitable
and necessary work. We suggest that all of the
clubs elect reporters and request them to keep
in constant touch with the Editor.
THE ACADEMIC DEBATING SOCIETY
H. D. Robinson, Ac. ’27
The purpose of this society is to train the
younger students to debate effectively. The socie
ty has been organized for several years, but this
year it realizes its responsibility more than ever,
because this year, the college is losing five collegi
ate debaters by graduation. The society is work
ing very hard as that it might be able to take up
the responsibility which will be left to it by its
elder brothers. Much instruction and inspiration
are given to the society by its elder brothers.
The society has an extensive program this year.
The first debate is to take place during that lat
ter part of February. The subject for debate: Re
solved: that “The Monroe Doctrine Should Be
Abandoned.” The next issue of the MAROON TI
GER, will relate the results of this debate.
