Page 56 Gluts and N ews 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.
