DeeDee Slade presents proof of the owners previous visit to the house Drama Makes the Plays Imaginative, looney. and radical 1 That was the reputation the Drama Club had on campus. During the October production of Wait Until Dark, students were seen ' killing one another and dying on stage to give a dramatic effect to the play. Off stage, they wore terrifying masks to entertain the rest of the cast as they ran wild in the auditorium and on campus. Wait Until Dark, The Music Man, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds, The Miracle Worker, and The Mouse that Roared, were the five major produc- tions of the season. A highlight of the year was the trip to the Southern California Educational Theater Association. High School The- ater hestival X at Occidental College in Pasadena.

When the staff was under the pressure of those dead- lines, things didn ' t always operate quite as smoothly as on a normal day. Managing Editor Laurie Dietrich helped hold things together. The stu- dents often had a hard time getting interviews on time, thus adding de- layed copywriting. Nate Rauba de- scribed the scene as one when ...everybody ' s crazy and running around. The room was buzzing with ac- tivity. Jeano Cales, advisor, who de- scribed herself as . . .an average, bril- liant teacher, can be remembered for quoting, There are no dull stories, just dull writers. Although the staff usu- ally maintained a relaxed and informal atmosphere, Mrs. Cales ' famous say- ing, A story is better never than late, haunted them daily. She had a weird way of getting her point across, com- mented Charles Brodhead. By working on all aspects of the newspaper, each staff member had an important job. Writing copy played an essential part of the operation, as did photography and layout design. First year staffer LeeAnne Reynolds wasn ' t too sure about conducting in- terviews and getting people to talk, she found, Blabbermouths are a bless- ing to journalism. 4 When hectic deadlines come around.
