Dfmmalicc THE DRAMATICS CLUB presented a one-act play for the Thanksgiving assembly program and a three-act major pro- duction for the all-school play. The Boys' Alliance helped with both plays and the Girls' League members added their efforts to the all-school play. The Thanksgiving program very appropriately portrayed a family's dilemma when the man-of-the-house attempted to prepare the Thanksgiving dinner. Although the turkey disappeared, the family had live turkeys before the 'curtain fell. The all-school play was a Mello-Dramal' that was com- plete with hero, heroine, villain, sheriff, grieving oldtimers, sweet daughter, gabby neighbor and Indian servant girl. The portrait of grandad added special interest as it proved to be as alive as any of the other characters. The stage set was prepared by the Carpentry Shop, the painting was done by the Art Shop, and the make-up was the handiwork of the Cosmetology Department. The faculty director, Mr. Vernon Higginbotham, was ably assisted by student Joe Hagan. BELOW: A scene from Curse of an Aching Heart or Trapped in a Spidefs Web.
