WORI HARD Setting out to entertain students and families was a job that the drama department took very seriously. Holding many shows during the school year, including ‘’Anything Goes, the drama depart- ment had to work extremely hard. Tryouts for students was one of the top priorities. Karen Stark, Rick Berry, Sherry Adams, and Jason McGraw were some of the stars in the produc- tion of Anything Goes.” Once the selection for the cast had been made, students began rehearsing. To insure that the show would prove to be suc- cessful, students devoted their class hours, weekends, and evenings to prac- ticing their lines and routines. Throughout the school year, the drama department worked hard to provide en- joyable shows to students and their families. As the show progresses.

The faculty of Subschool 1 did foresee the difficult ad- justments for the seventh graders and worked very hard to make the seventh graders’ first year in junior high a fun and productive one. Organizing study time, getting used to having six teachers, staying after school, finding buses, and managing lockers were some of the things the faculty helped the students with. We also try to get them acclimated to being in such a large school...It’s very scary for the students at first, commented Mrs. Oliver, Subschool 1 counselor . We’re here to help them and to give them some identity as a group.” At the end of the year, every seventh grader felt more at home in Lake Braddock as a result of the faculty’s efforts.
