DRAMATicS CLASS GETS
coLoRFuL EXPERIENCE

BY Sandy Grey
II has often been said that lit
tie children are like wild Indians
and that everything should be done
to change this situation. Well,
when man bites dog it's news; and
when parents and teachers WANT
small children to act like Indians,
it must also be news. Mr.. Ertzman
and his dramatics class found
themselves helping to make $50
wiggling small boys into Indians
for the Poinciana Pageant last
week.
Confronted with this problem,
they lined the boys up, had them
remove their clothing down to the
bareSt necessities, and stood them
on a table so that makeup could
be applied all over their shivering
bodies.
AS 1t was a cold night. there
many objections to the strip-tease
act, and the dramatics class had
many a complaining client The
whole affair looked like the
monthly meeting of the Polar Bear
Club.
AS the boys stepped off the table
and were able to resume more
clothes so that they felt more re-

lambs to the slaughter. to the hall
where the dramatics class girls
awaited to apply war paint.
Many a blushing face greeted
Mr.. Ertzman and Hoke Holcomb,
who applied most of the grease
paint, for the little fellows were
embarrassed at the prospect of
barring themselves. But time heals
all wounds and soon most of them
were running around like true
wild Indians. finding lest toma-
hawks and scalping each other.
Many of the yelping braves lost
their weapons and had everyone
running wild trying to find them.
All in all, the dramaticS class
seems none the worse for the wear
(except for grease paint on cloth
