excitement in the mushroom-get set for action. Drama Club For a few days, the familiar Mushroom was transformed into a typical Elizabethan theater for the annual all-school play, A Mid-Summer Night's Dream , the school's first attempt to pro- duce a Shakespearian play. Early in the evening, Queen Elizabeth made a dramatic entrance to her royal box. Madrigal singers and peasant dancers provided delightful pre-performance entertainment. The Home Economics classes made chess pies and coffee which were served during intermission, adding to the Elizabethan atmosphere. Elaborate and colorful costumes were beauti- fully sewn by Mrs. Etta Hostvedt. Set building was directed by Mr. Richard Johns and a make-up committee was under the direction of Mrs. Connie Lovejoy. Mr. Caley, the director of the play, was assisted by student director, Marilee Mooney. The Drama Club was under the leader- ship of Mark Terry, president, Pam Carpenter, vice-president, Becky Follmer, secretary, and The clown's play of Pyromus and Thisbe brought down the house.
