lf there were such a fabulous volume entitled History of the Rise and Fall of Bensenville Community High School, there would be included a chapter on The Restoration of the Drama in Room 202. A secret reason for this little Renaissance could probably be attributed to the smashing effect of Macbeth upon the seniors, or maybe it was the stunning reaction of the sophomores toward Julius Caesar. At any rate, that little Drama Bug has come out of hiding from somewhere in the woodwork for maybe from under the gym floorl, and has quietly shot us with his little hypodermic needle. Ouchl Quickly recovering, we rallied our forces and formally declared ourselves an independent organization under the leadership of Mr. Van Kirk. We then called a nominating convention, and after fierce and heated nominations from the floor we finally announced the outcome of the race and congratulated the members of our distinguished Executive Department. After the ratification of our Constitution we announced with great pride our fothcoming presentation of a Christmas program, our first dramatic venture under the influence of our patron Drama Bug. Here a blank space is left in our History, for only Time will tell what Macbeth will do to our seniors next year!
