Original script presented, seniors succeed with class play A murder committed in the halls of BASH? A student detective who knew Who done it? Was it possible? lt was. Working with an original script, A Death Worse Than Fate, the senior class presented its play on December 3, 4, and 5 at junior High East. The play was a comical murder story set in the senior high. Characters represented typical Boyertown students and, occasionally, typical Boyertown teachers. Costuming was easyp cast members simply wore normal school at- tire.

Cast members, working with their director Mrs. Lesley Greenberg, spent five weeks preparing for the per- formance. The play proved to be a very successful money making project. Since two seniors, Gretchen Trout and Tracey Zimmers, wrote the play for their in- dependent study project in English, the class saved the usual royalty fees. Tickets and programs were made in shop classes.

Hours after 3 also very busy During after-school hours, BASH students spent their time doing the things they enjoyed doing, When the dismissal bell rang, several groups hurried to locker rooms to change clothes and gather equipment. Rain or shine, in every season, there were sports to play and practices to en- dure. Most teams practiced every day in gymnasiums, hallways, stairways, and lobbies, or on the playing fields and parking lot. The practice idea held true for other groups besides athletes. Cheerleaders, thespians, and musicians were resigned to several hours of work each week during their after-school time. Hallways echoed with new cheers being practiced, by four different groups, and tryout time added even more bodies to the hallway practice areas. Walking through the halls was impossible after 3 p.m. The dining room was never empty either. If the senior class play or some other dramatic production wasn't in rehearsal on the stage, then choreography lessons for students in the musical were being held in its place. Marching Unit members took over the parking lot for regular drills and the learning of new routines. And music was constantly heard in the music suite. Aspiring journalists discovered that putting out a newspaper, a yearbook, a literary magazine could mean oc- casional after-school sessions, too. The yearbook staff, especially, worked throughout the evening many times. Sometimes students stayed after school to catch up on class work or to test a bit of knowledge. A handful took advantage of the time to use the com- puter. On occasion, auto mechanic students were in the parking lot checking the work they had done in shop. With so many students involved in af- terschool activities, the school often looked and sounded livelier at the end of the day than it had during regular sessions. After School
