Theatre South. Once a student withstood and prospered from the rigors of T.S. discipline, he became eligible for membership in Thespians, a non-secretive, non-so- cial honorary dramatic society which aims to recog- nize outstanding achievement in drama. This year 11 juniors and 14 seniors were inducted into the so- ciety under the direction of President Bob hessin and Sponsor Mr. Boressoff. 'i a m .7 THEATRE SOUTH OFFICERS: Left I» right—S.

SPEECH DEPARTMENT MR. BERNARD BORESSOFF —Head THE Speech Department, responsible for speech correction, drama and speech classes, Theatre South, Thespians, and W.G.N.S., has seen a change-over in man- agement this year. Although Mr. Bernard Boresoff remains steadfast and stalwart as ever, Mrs. Rosenblatt, in favor of mother- hood, yielded her position to Miss Clare Feldman. Central administration for the department can be found, with luck, in the small, cozy speech othce, amidst reams of paper and torrents of students eagerly grabbing for service-duty passes and Theatre South as- signments.

THEATRE SOUTH PRODUCTION ' I ' HEAT RE SOUTH boasts of three major dra- -L matic accomplishments this year. The ethereal fairy-romance, Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night's Dream, started off the season. Ray Singer starred as the naive and lovable Bottom, with Donna McCar- thy, Liz Weston, Jon Barnett, and Jon Weisgall as the four bewitched, befuddled, and enchanting lov- ers. Judy Park sprinkled the fantasy aura with fairy- dust as the mischievous sprite Puck, garbling the orders of the fairy king, Oberon (Peter Agree). Connie Zalk and Jim Ledley directed. Donna McCarthy and Peter Agree in Inherit the Wind. Midsummer Sight s Dream — Go straight tuo blocks, then make a right, you can’t miss it! Judy Pack. Lucy Grunther. From the mystical to the nostalgic. Theatre South pre- sented A Child's Christmas in Wales, by Dylan Thomas, as its holiday program. Ray Singer and Herb Marks nar- rated the tender and humorous reminiscences about Christ- mas in Wales. To conclude the repertoire, dynamic courtroom drama exploded on the T.S. stage, with Walter Jaros and Peter Lerner as the leading contenders in Lawrence and Lee’s Inherit the II ’hid. Debating the freedom of a school readier (Peter Agree) to impart knowledge at his discre- tion, a whole town becomes the center of world news, Donna McCarthy and Ray Singer support the theme as the trusting but confused schoolteacher-girl-friend and the cynical city reporter. Emily Miller and Jim Ledley directed. Peter Lerner (Brady) and Walter Jaros (Drummond) debate the validity of evolution. ''Midsummer Sight's Drum” rustics, Mark Gorbuleu, Alex Schub, Alex Forman, Kim Bores soft, and Ray Singer, re- gard their leader. Peter Lerner.
