' m ' ' i m mp iV ' V . ' f yff shining sfars The Drama Department works year- round developing stage presence, characterization, and interpretation under the direction of Mrs. Malousis and Mr. Ralston. The students per- formed several productions in the seclusion of their own classrooms, notably, satires on commercials and game shows, improvisations, and pan- tomime. As the year progressed the young Thespians performed various plays using both original scripts and those previously produced by the theatrical world. The highlight of the theatrical year was performing in the Spring Fine Arts Festival. Perhaps some lucky students of Drama 1 and 2 in future years will be able to look back on their days in Drama Class and think of the high school preparation that helped lead to their big break. 1.
