When school opened in the fall we found to our sorrow that the only surviving memhers of the Oakwood Dramatic Society were its two officers.
Nothing daunted, we soon held try-outs for membership and increased our number bv six. On account of our small number we decided to devote
all our talent to one play, to be given in the spring. After much discus­ sion “Androcles and the Lion,” by Bernard Shaw, was chosen and April
twenty-eighth set as the date.
The performance was a great success, not only dramatically and
socially, hut financially as well. The proceeds enabled the Society to pay off the last of its debt for the blue velvet curtain, and to make a gift, from
the surplus, toward the expenses of the Annual.
