Immediately following this, Sports Review went on the air to keep fans in the know on Olympia high's athletic program and favorite athletes. This program was taken over entirely by Nathan Clifford, Bob Fonts, Ed Metcalf, Ivan Budd and Neil Farler. Miss Mlilliams l1ad trained them to write the scripts, direct and produce the broadcasts. The first, sec- ond and fourth period classes rotated in turn to go on the air. Those students who turned out for the plays did not in- clude all drama students. In the course of the year, drama classes did short skits on poetic themes, abstract articles and enacted the habits and personalities of animals. In the second semester, they started work on make-up and then used their training when they did monologues. Graduating from mono- logues to Shakespearean scenes, they again made use of their training in diction and phonetics. As their final work for the year, the amateur actors wrote their 10-minute monogues and gave them for the class. An Irish play minus the dialect was picked as the Junior- Senior play. May 19 and 20 Far Off Hills by Lennox Robin- son was presented successfully with Miss Wlilliams assisted by Patty McNamara and Darlene l.eMay directing. The plot of the three-act comedy revolves around two teen- aged girls who think that one of their family's friends would he a dote if she would marry their blind father. 'l'hey are not so concerned with their father's desires but would like to get out of the clutches of their domineering sister who wants to be a nun but feels responsible for her father.

XVith the close of 0lympia's first 100 years, the O.H.S. drama and broadcasting students have given their city even more to be proud of. They are learning to carry on in the next century with modernized methods of connnunication and entertainment patterned after those of the past. Twen ty- five
