is for Drama The star-studded stage of Austin High filled with student dramatists presented many productions throughout the school year. Under Miss Cecily Spaulding's direction, January Thaw was the fall play offering. This comedy featured a conflict between two families of different backgrounds. The au- dience sympathized with Peg Schulze and Dave Johnson, who sat down to a breakfast of corn flakes, topped with olives and mo- lasses, while the well-fed Rockwood family, Bev Mellem and Bill Louck, looked on. The Dirk and Bauble Club added to the fall drama roster by presenting two assembly plays. One of the plays, Nobody Sleeps, starred Ronnie Hagelund as Spike, the honest burglar, who was trapped in a house with four babbling women. In Heat Lightning Julie LaVine found herself in a lonely bus de-- pot with two men-one a murderer. She mistook the murderer for a-protector and tension mounted as the consequences became apparent. One Word Alone, a Thespian presentation, followed its title exactly. A one word con- versation was carried on between Tucky Neiswanger and Lynda Cook. Roughly Speaking was the other Thespian play. The Greek tragedy, Medea, by Euripides was the challenging spring play. Julie La- Vine played the difficult role of Medea. Torn between jealousy and hatred for her hus- band, portrayed by Jack Warfel, Medea sought revenge for his unfaithfulness, This year the Big Nine Speech Festival was held at Mankato. Divisions in which Austin was represented were one-act play, radio play, extemporaneous speakin g, oratory, and discussion. Drama's unsung heroes Lenny Addlllf.Z't0Il, Jack XVarfeI, Jean Randall.
