1Old lady Gynt, Lisa Kaser, plays Peer Gynt's mother during a scene. 2 I am the Troll King, boasts Eric Gardner during the Troll Scene. CRWEGIA PLAY EXPERTLY STAGED rama at its most sophisticated levels is singularly D fabulous, and difficult to produce. But well done, it is entertaining and enriching. Thus was the result of the OCHS Drama Department's staging of the classic Norwegian folk tale Peer Gynt . With a cast of only 60 spreading itself out to play all the actual 90 plus parts, we are told the story of Peer Gynt. A lowly, lazy, second-class human being, who believes he is the greatest of all mankind, Peer fantasizes about his supreme being, and of the daring and magnificent endeavors on which he journeys. And yet in the end, Peer finds himself still a poor excuse for a man, ridiculed, yet loved. As with Dracula Baby first semester, Gregg Lacy led the stagecraft production of sets for Peer Gynt . The set for Peer Gynt featured an angled or raked, stage, which created a fuller, more dimensional effect. The very simplistic stage also used a visual screening effect whereby a very porous material was used as a backdrop. Props or people were then brought up behind this, and an above-stage light shown down on them, creating a ghostly effect. The cast gave a fine performance, especially Casey Drebin and Eric Gardner, according to director Arlie Holt. was 1 . i . . ' I . ,xi , 'K Tm it X X xii 22 Spring Play

OUTDOOR SCHOOL A NATURAL HIGH utdoor School is a place where all the sixth 0 graders in the Oregon City area get a chance to camp out for a week of environmental study recreation and meeting new people How was Outdoor School this year? Lots of fun replied 95 counselors who went to Camp Arrawanna from April 16 to May 19 lt s a place where you can go crazy says cabin counselor jerry lBearJ Hahn You do things you wouldnt normally do This is what jerry means There s nothing like dress up day where Bear puts on a sweatsuit five sizes too small or when Spunky borrows a garbage sack and stuffs herself to look like Fig Newton and Keek pulls out faded PE shorts glasses, with a hairy wig' Get the picture? Study classes were given where the students instructed by different counselors learned about soil plants water and wildlife. Recreation consisted of archery bait casting ping-pong hiking rifelry and frisbee where one lucky counselor was target for the students After first impressions wore off and the kids became familiar with the counselors Campfires were dramatlzed by skits from water to bananas and rowdy songs joined in the merrlment Awards were given for the quletest cabin and Honor table The counselor meetings at the lodge were another story After the kiddies were in bed we d be serious and sit down to a lecture for a half an hour says jerry Hahn Then we d race for the ping pong table play games and eat One can bet with names like Keek Kokey PeeWee Webfoot Bong Snickers and Kiwi outdoor school hit the target of success again' 1 1 I I 1 1 1 1 1 ll II , . . , H . . . .
