Drama Club
This year the Drama Club presented "The Evening of One Act Plays" early in February. Rehearsals began in the fall and the problem soon arose as to which play should represent the school at the Georgian Bay Drama Festival. Mrs. D. A. Millsap from Stayner solved the problem by adjudicating the plays and by deciding that "Romance is a Racket" had the best potential for competition.
The first of the plays presented was "The Lovely Miracle" (Philip Johnson) which was directed by Mr. Winter. This was a serious play involving a young daughter (Deena-Kay Irwin) who came to grips with marriage and life. Three people were involved with her education: the mother (Carol Stewart), a neighbour (Sandra Pictrow), and a strange visitor (Greg Sproule).
Miss Varty, in her first attempt at direction, presented John M. Synge's "Riders to the Sea." Sandra Radermacher, Marg Newby, Teena VanderNeut, Roger Piotrow, and a large supporting cast made this a skillful production.
Mrs. Russell directed the only comedy of the evening, the farcical, "Romance is a Racket" (John Kirkpl).trick). The action took place in Rod "Luigi" Robinson's Italian inn where such veteran members of the Drama Club as Cathy Smith, Cynthia Hacking, Grace Warwick, Doug Webb, and Wayne Sproule were visitors. This play unfortunately did not win any awards at the Drama Festival in Midland, but was en- thusiastically received by audiences everywhere.
The club has no definite plans for the rest of the year; however, it will be safe to assume that many of its members will appear in Assemblies, Variety Night, and other functions dependent upon entertainers.
