SPEECH DRAMA The highlight of the year for the speech and drama class was the May production of Desperate Ambrose. The cast of 13 included 5 members who were not actually in the class. Although there were many problems in the beginning, and the play was postponed twice, the cast felt satisfied with the final performance. During the rest of the year, teacher Linda Smith focused on oral presentations and a history of drama. AA fr Left: Beth tTeresa Rileyj gets ready to propose to Sherriff Crandall tDonovan Schmidtl.
