Novice actors present plays The Central High Masque and Gavel changed its usual winter production from the One Acts to a Mini Series. Because all of the plays were from the same time period, and used the same props and style of costume, the directors concentrated on the actors. Mrs. Annette Lewis, drama instructor, stated that the change benefited the student directors. Mrs. Lewis chose who would direct each play, but left the auditioning up to the students. The production allowed club members with little or no experience in acting or directing to gain that experience. The stories were picked from Aesop's Fables, Grimm's Fairytales, and the Tales of the Arabian Nights and used pan- tomime, sound effects, and exaggerations. The rehearsals paid off with an excellent and well attended performance on February 25 and 26.
