Not only does the dramatic art department present ploys, but during the sophomore and jun- Greasepaints, dusty flats, footlights, hours of ior years it also teaches students aids to public prcctlce, the glamour and excitement of opening speaking and expression. The poise and self night-all these ore written indelibly in the minds of the group known as the College Players. Man, from the beginning of time, has found pleasure and satisfaction in acting; it is the aim of this or- ganization to forward the art of the theatre. Miss Esther Smith returned to W. M. C. this year after a leave of absence to aid her sister in the production of Strange Fruit. She has been a con- stant source of inspiration to all her students, a fact which was substantiated by the presentation of Janie on Thanksgiving Day. None of us will ever forget the problems and antics of the Colburn family as portrayed by Shirley Snyder as Janie, Jack Neville as her boyfriend Scocper, Frances Bartley as kid sister Elspeth, and Anno Lee Butler and George Wilson as Mr. and Mrs. Colburn. Other memories of the year include the beauti- ful Christmas program and Playgoers, If the Shoe Pinches, and The Devil and Daniel Webster, which were presented by the junior class in February. 104
