Drama Class Invited To Attend A glimpse of the fascinating world of the theater was shown to an eager audience when the Drama Department presented The Ugly Duckling and A Cup of Tea in February. The actors had such a good time that they decided to attempt Our Town in the spring. Besides acting, dramatists learned the art of make-up, staging, management, and scenic de¬ sign. Each member was responsible for a project during the year, and many fine exhibits were turned in. Field trips included Chapel Hill for the fall workshop and Wake Forest College for partici¬ pation in the Speech Festival. Kerry Campbell is instructed by Sara Larson on the fine points of covering a prop for a production. A warm sun and some soft grass set the scene for reading lines. 78
