Photo by R. 1 Antigone Wins Alternate to State Thirty Drama Club members started off with a new theatre arts teacher, Carolyn Boone. With her help and support, in November the Drama Club performed their winter play Grease, followed by a cast party at Sophomore Chris Lundquist's house. Grease was the kind of show people wanted to see, because it related directly to the audience, Chris Lundquist explains. Then they had another presentation in the spring, Antigone. Senior Brian Rives exclaims, Antigone brought us all closer together. Vice Pres- ident Susie Gatien said, I believe it has made everyone in the cast appreciate the moments of humanity. General after school meetings were held to discuss produ- ctions, upcoming events, and fund raising for scholarships and the banquet. Drama allows me to understand people and their emotions that I would not otherwise be able to relate to, revealed Junior Chris Everett. With lots of hard work drama students went on to regionals in the One-Act Play contest at San Jacinto Junior College for U.I.L. competition. Their efforts were rewarded by winning fourth place, alternate to state. Five thespians were honored by lettering in drama also.

Main Events Enjoys Mame, Sherlock Holmes, and More Without the Main Events Club 1 would not attend any type of plays ' said Main Events President Shawn Knight. Main Events Club exposes high school students to the fine arts of music, theater, ballet and opera in the Houston area. Without Main Events Club many students would spend their time watching T.V. and listening to the radio instead of attending a live performance every now and then, explained sponsor, Mrs. Beryl Hogshead. Main Events started their activities off with Enter Laughing at Theater Southwest, The 1940 Radio Hour at The University of Houston- Whortham Theater, A Little Night Music and Mame at The Theater Under the Stars. Also, they attended The Adventures of the Speckled Band . . . Sherlock Holmes at The Chocolate Bayou Theater. Next year Main Events will be limited to one field trip per semester. It is to be held in the Houston area on weekends or other times when there is no school. This rule was made because the Board of Education feels that many school students are in too many extra-curricular activities. In my view, it seems that the administrators are putting any athletic sport above something as educational as Main Events, said Mrs. Hogshead. Club member, Lora Holsopple comments, It's a shame Main Events is allowed only two trips a year because the majority of the students here don't have the chance to see any type of plays and in Main Events one gets to visit a majority of the dramas that come to the Houston area.
