This year the Drama Club was restricted to lower school only, due to the new split lunch. Myrna Smyer, club sponsor had 85 students sign up for the club. Unfortunately, there was not A D T enough space for all those interested and the club had to be cut to forty. Eighth graders were m G I C given first priority, then seventh and so on. The club was divided into five groups, each l containing students of all grade levels. Directing, and the more authoritative positions were A given to older students in the group. Other jobs, such as stage crew, technical crew, and the G I r various acting positions were distributed among all club members. The club was unlike a drama class, in that Ms. Smyer acted more as a consultant than an r h O O I instructor. She took a somewhat passive position in the club by waiting for the students to ask her advice, allowing them to make their own decisions yet enabling her to aid them if D Q I b necessary. I I U The year was a successful one, with five exciting plays being presented. Congratulations to all X X R I I I involved!

T Cut and Paste The art club this year was not the same as in years past. This year it was only open to lower school because of the split lunch. The club was made up primarily of eighth graders because art was not offered to them as a class. There were some upper schoolers who took time to help the art club. They met sixth period every Thursdayp there the students were given time to work independently on their own art interests. Silk screening was an all time favorite among the members. V Y X l 5-Q 'I-PREPARING THE INGREDIENTS, 8th grader Amina Quargnali- Linsley and Mr. Haddaway mix a paper mache batch to complete a dinosaur sculpture. 2-SMOOTH AS SILK, 7th grader Becky Daub puts the finishing touches on a silkscreen design that can then be transferred to a t- shirt or other surface. 3-GOOD HANDS, the potters wheel affords students an opportu- nity for hands-on experience in learning how to throw a pot or other ceramic piece. 4-ART CLUB AFICIONADOS, Nancy Johnson, Annetta Popodo- polous, Mr. Haddaway, Amina Quargnali-Linsley, Becky Daub, Heather Garback.
