Every year East theatre holds Freshman-Sophomore One Act Plays. The purpose of these short one acts is to give the underclassmen a chance to participate and broaden their horizons in the drama area. This year’s productions were ”Moby Dick” directed by Mr. Brad Schmidt, and ’Caesar and Cleopatra” which Ms. Dawn Mosley directed. Both of these one acts were portrayed as comical spoofs. Some of the lead cast members in ' Moby Dick” were Wade Fields, who played Captain Ahab, Christi Morfick as ishameal. and Joy Ducree as OueeOueg. Some leads in ’’Caesar and Cleopatra” were Ron Carter as Caesar, and Cameron Miller as Cleopatra. Mr. Cohlmeyer was the technical director backstage. Some upperclassmen were allowed to help out as backstage crew. Throughout the years it has seemed that this chance to gain on-stage acting experience has benefited many freshmen and sophomores and has allowed them to go on to do bigger and better theatre productions. Cleopatra (Cameron Miller) is about to be bitten by her asp. The technical crew was an important part in making the One-Acts a success. Lifestyles

Even though no snow was to be found, the annual Christmas As¬ sembly went on as usual on the day we got out for Christmas vacation. It was a very festive occasion. The choirs sang and the bands played those familiar Christmas carols. The Orchestra was helped by some special guests: Mr. Curtis, cymbals; Mr. Schmidt, bells-, Mr. Browning, triangle-, Mrs. Kelley, tambourine; Mr. Zink, bells. The Pom Pon squad was on hand to perform as Santa’s elves. All in all, it put everyone in the true spirit of Christmas. Ho! Ho! Ho! - Santa Claus throws candy to the student body. Patrick Swayze watch out! Secretary Sherry Marks and Business teacher Dale Zink kick up their heels at the Christmas Assembly. X) Lifestyles
