This year's dramatic classes have combined to put forth some entertainment which will not soon be forgotten at MHS. A busy year included three 3-act plays and a number of oneeocts. Starting off the year was Arsenic and Old Lace which was sponsored by the Period 5 Drama Class. It was not the first time that this play had been put on at Morningside, but it was enioyed as much this time as it was before. An entirely new play to MHS students was Cloud Seven. lt was a comedy which had a short run on Broadway but which was a rolicking hit with the Monarchs. This play did a two-night stand and was blessed with a large attendance, Directing plays for his 6th year at Morningside was Kenneth Ton. For the last 3-act play Mr. Ton attempted a serious performance. Many plays were thought about but the production which finally came up with the most potential was Hasty Heart. lt was sponsored by the Senior Class and considered by most to be one of the best plays to have been presented at Morningside. This play, about a Scot, contained one of the finest combination of actors in' the thespian group. It was presented for the Monroe students and also for Monarchs and others for two nights and a matinee in the MHS auditorium. The senior play, as last year, was nearly an all-boy cast. This has been an extremely productive year at Morningside, said Mr. Ton. Some of the best entertainment to have ever been seen by Monarchs were pre- sented, but next year will be an even better year, he concluded. N r Q04-2 ' 7' C 'YN Xi 3 1.9 fs--f gil fd
