Festive Spirit In Drama Unselfishness — that was the main message of the Christmas play presented by the Drama Club this year. The play ‘“‘The Gift of the Magi,’ was presented to the student body through the English classes on December 18, the day before Christmas vacation. O Henry, an author known for his suprise endings writes about a young couple struggling to get enough money to buy each other a Christmas present. They both finally gave up their most prized possesions to make the other happy. “T think they performed more than adequately,” said Mrs. Debbie Harris, drama teacher and club sponser. “‘They were all well suited for their parts,’’ she added. After the play, club members led the audience in some traditional Christmas carols. ‘‘The carols gave students a sec- ond meaning of Christmas,” said De- nise Martin. Tony Abernathy summed up the play by saying, “After seeing the play, peo- ple should know how to give gifts from their hearts.” 86 Drama TOP LEFT — With complete trust in her hus- band, George Anna, Robin Heavner, inhales a potion which will remove her birthmark, as her servant, played by Tony Abernathy, watches.
