Activities: Members of UNB Drama Society partook in all aspects of theatre: acting, directing, set building, lighting, make-up, costuming, and publicity. Each year the group awarded the Bailey Cup to the best actor in the group, and the Cattley Cup to the greatest contributer to the Dramatic Society.
