DRAMA Drama reached a peak at Morningside High this year. There were more presentations this year than ever before. First off the line was a comedy, My Three Angels, followed by a second comedy, The Curious Savage. The music and drama depart- ments combined to bring a musical extravaganza, Finian's Rain- bow, and the drama department produced All My Sons, con- sidered by most to be the finest drama ever given at MHS. The final play was the hilarious production sponsored by the CIGSS of '60, Mr. Roberts. These plays were sprinkled with one-acts put on by the beginning drama classes. The successful year was a tribute to a man who has put the MHS drama department on the map, Kenneth L. Ton. Dmma, cmd ri fu! One of the funniest plays ever given at Morningside was My Three Angels, a tropical farce involving a snake and a chicken. Starring as the three angels who were in reality convicts were John Mus- grave, Paul Wood, and Tony DiFraia. ln supporting roles were Tom Nobles, Peg Stewart, Rory Gerstle, Martyn Agens, Judy Berry, and Eileen Seltzer. The story concerned the problems of 'v a family and the solution of them on the part of the convicts by using the snake which was named Adolph. The ending is a happy one with Martyn and Judy in each other's arms, the convicts back in iail, and Adolph wound around Tom's neck. The dates for the performances were December 4 and 5. fi' R -E -44 Ange s
