It is also well to remember that
there are probably very few fans

ELON DRAMATICS

On March 19,1936, in Whitley
Auditorium, the Players presented
two one-act plays entitled “Joint
Owners in Spain” and "Finders
Keepers,” which were given fav
orable reviews and described as
characteristic of the fine work of
the group. Miss Floyd Childs was
still directing the Players that
year.
During the school year of 1936-
37, there were few records avail
able, but Dr. Fletcher Collins took
over as director in 1937. One of
the offerings that year was “The
Taming of the Shrew,” given by
the Shakespeare class.
