PRELIMINARY STEPS IN play presentation are taken as students re¬ hearse lines with Mr. Guy Andersen for the Junior Class Play. The initial activity of the Drama Club was the spon¬ sorship of four one-act plays. Presented in the High School auditorium on Oct. 21, these plays included Sorry, Wrong Number, a tense mystery-drama, Curse You, Jack Dalton, a melodrama. Miss Personality Plus, and If Men Played Cards as Women Do, a satire. As a Christmas service project. Drama Club mem¬ bers collected canned goods, toys and clothing for needy families. Drama Club members also travelled to many area colleges and high schools to view other productions. In November Thieves ' Carnival, a fantasy by French author Jean Anhoul, was presented. A unique aspect of this production was the fact that almost all of the costumes were made expressly for the play. Drama Club was under the sponsorship of speech instructor Guy Andersen. Meetings of the club were held in the Little Theater, on the second Wednesday of every month. Mr. Andersen also spent many hours coaching and advising aspiring actors and actresses, as well as direct¬ ing the plays. FOR THE FIRST time this year all grades were used in the Junior Class Play, Philadelphia, Here I Come! Some of the members shown in rehearsal are Dave Johnston, Connie Peschang, Tom Naob, ond Barry Oden. 161
