Problems with site selection, band selection, theme selection, decorations and souvenirs pla- gued the junior class officers. The Costa Mesa Country Club was finally selected as the site, the band 88 performed, Always and Foreverv was named the theme and glass fountain glasses were dispensed as souvenirs.

Shakespeare presented by fools, lovers and tyrants Faced with major casting problems after the spring play Such Stuff as Dreams are Made Onf' went into rehearsal, the drama department presented Shake- speare to its audience. Three weeks prior to the opening night senior Don Padgett transferred from classes here and this necessitated major casting changes to cover his parts. Freshman Chris Volk assumed the role of Lysander in Lover's Quartet in addition to his rolls in Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer Nightis Dream. The production was so well received that it was presented at the Agoura Renaissance Faire on May 15. Such Stuff as Dreams are Made On, a set of loosely compiled Shakespearean vignettes dealing with fools and lovers, tyrants and kings was written by Anne Sandoe-Donadio. This production was directed by drama teacher Susan Payer- Stauter and Associate Director Steven Peter Callaway. Senior Amy Davis was stage manager and she was assisted by Kim Maytch. A wide variety of different theatrical sound techniques were used for this production, most notably in the Macbeth scene where thunder was simulated and in Cyndi Wright's mono- logue from Hamlet where the cast called to Wright's Ophelia in other worldly voices. 1. Stage Manager Amy Davis reviews script changes with senior Jodi Spiker. Davis, was also stage manager for the fall presentation of Our Town. 2.
