' ur Town,' ' dd Couple' dresses up fine arts productions on campus Step back and hold on to your hat the next thing you will realize is that you havejust been established in the lead role of a heart throbbing drama. During the year many memories were assured of success as Drama teacher Mrs. Edye Ruoho tried to persuade the stu- dent body into thinking about life on a serious angle with a moral tint. She presented Go Ask Alice and The Lottery. The former being about a young girl who trips out of life and tries to reach back. but for peer pressure she might have. In the end Alice dies: leaving behind her a question of how, and why did it all happen. The Lottery captures society again and again as the community and the towns people stone a young mother to death. Assisting them in their dirty work were her husband and children. . Every year as a part of tradition the Drama Club also spon- sors a carnival, the object of which is to earn enough money to help in producing the plays put on by the school. They aver- age three total school productions a year. Our Town was the first to grace our campus of the three. Director Edye Ruoho said that Our Townn has a point to put across. about life and how we overlook the beauty of life because we are so wrapped up in the petty problems of it. Following directly after 6'Our Town was The Odd Cou- ple involving us in their unmarried life of crazy antics. lb THE DRAMA CLUB sponsor.
