Plays Personified By Dramatic Classes Dramatic classes presented their fall play, “Dark of the Moon November 13, and 14. Tragedy struck at Witch-boy John, when he fell in love with a human girl, Barbara Allen. Folk songs and ballads of the moun- tain people were included in the play. Witch-boy John was portrayed by Ralph Sisco. Barbara Allen the girl he loves, was played by Barbara Dingee. “Strange Borders” was chosen as the Dramatics classes spring play. Mystery and comedy were combined as Boston Benny and his gang retired to Cordelia ' s boarding house after robbing a Boston bank. Cordelia was portrayed by Donna Wood. Tom Walden played Boston Benny. Dramatics classes have limited stage facilities with which to work, yet they present at least two plays every year. Students learn not only acting methods and how to portray a character, but also the basic functions of the stage, light- ing, and the relation of the actor to the audience.
