People love to act. They can act dumb, obnoxious, or crazy. However, the drama students at DBHS sure could act well. Greasepaint, DBHS's improvisa- tion troupe, is run by nine drama students. They performed once a month and practiced six hours a month. This comedy group's shows were all improvisation. Lines weren't rehearsed. The group is stronger than last year. We're able to work together, and weire never over confident before a show, said Greasepaint member Mike Ornelas, junior. Thespians, the international honor society, was an organization designed to raise funds for the . 5 E theatre. To become a Thespian, drama students must put in 225 hours of work in the threatre. The Thespian troupe is a lot more active this year. We spent more time meeting and have more activities, said Chris Obert, senior. Drama also experienced a major change. The directors were changed from Bruce Dunbridge to Mack Gilliland. Gilliland formerly taught at Walnut High School. Dunbridge stayed at DBHS to teach psychology. I'm sorry to see Dunbridge leave, but I'd like to see a new teacher's techniques and ideas, said senior N4 Heidi Ianz. 1 Q ' 1 l I 3 Holloway. ii zu- Acting Out GREASEPAINT TROUPE - Front row: Iennifer Gavaldon, Wendy Ruth, Dave Betts, Mike Ornelas, R an Oxford, Iovita Tayllor, Christy OH NO!! - cries Jennifer Gavaldon along with Ryan Oxford, Mike Ornelas, and Christy Holloway at a Greasepaint erformance.

To some people it's a bull, to others it is an astrological sign, but to students at Diamond Bar High School it was the yearbook. As a staff member, you're under a lot of pressure to create a perfect yearbook. You want to make everybody happy, said Valerie Foote, senior. Pressure and stress are two words yearbook staff members related to. During deadlines people were runn- ing around trying to fix all the little details they forgot to do two weeks ago when they thought they had nothing to do. There's a lot of stress around deadlines. We have to spend time before school, after school, and dur- ing lunch to finish our assignments, said junior David Goldenberg. Yearbook isn't all work. After deadlines we're able to relax a while,', said junior Sapna Kumar. After deadlines, staff members celebrated with joke and serious awards, parties, and pizza. They also played a tag football game with Bull's Eye, the newspaper staff. Get- ting rid of their stress, Taurus won 38-0. pf fat sd' if'as :me .r'1 QP S--..
