“I Write The Songs” The magic of the arts showed itself at BSHS this year in the Drama Club. In November they put on a play called The Wonder Hat and received a Certi¬ ficate of Appreciation for their partic- pation in the District Drama Festival. Some members of the Drama Club also participated in the prestigious Vir¬ ginia High School Dance company at Nottoway and placed 3rd out of twelve schools. Mrs. Ruby Short, Drama Club Spon¬ sor, would retire at the end of the ’84 school year, creating a vacumn that any new drama coach will find difficult to fill. In the past few yeras alone she has led the club to several victories around the state. The Drama Club created several un¬ forgettable charters and scenes for us this year. And though not everything that was performed contained music, in effort, they did ‘‘Write The Songs.” Allison Fletcher sits perfectly still as Mrs. Ruby Short applies make-up for the play The Wonder Hat; performed at Nottoway in March. Milton Tyler checks slides for clarity and depth that he and other drama students made for Fan¬ tasia.
