Note
The Dramatic Club almost certainly existed in some form before its first appearance in the Star in 1925. Since the very beginning, Henderson has had Elocution, Expression, and Drama classes that have produced plays and other theatrical events for the College.
According to the 1925 yearbook, "The Expression Department of Henderson-Brown, in addition to private work and well-organized classes, maintains a dramatic club of real worth. Invaluable training is received through the efficient work of this club. It meets weekly, and interesting programs, which tends to lessen self-consciousness and improve stage personality, are given at each meeting. The dramatic club also carries on the voice culture of the class and private lessons. A number of interesting one-act plays have been produced by the organization this year. Especially worthy of mention are: Wrong Numbers, Spark Divine, Mr. and Mrs. P. Roe, A Flower of Yeddo, The Travelling Man, and The Awakening. Foremost of the dramatic club achievements this year, however, is the four-act play by Josephine Preston Peabody--The Piper. This production afforded remarkable opportunity for acting, training in costuming, scenic effect, and business management, for in all these details experince is required for a well-rounded course."
The Dramatic Club became the Masquers around 1926.
