Drama Castflt Campus Two nights of all school productions were featured by the drama department this season. December 13 and 14 the curtains opened on a courtroom drama while the spring semester show brought two one-act melodramas to the stage. ln the Night of January 16th secretary Karen Andre was tried for the alleged murder of her boss. Knowing Mr. Faulkner was to meet her in Brazil, Karen faced her accusers and witnesses confidently. The trial climaxed when she was informed by a close friend that Mr. Faulkner had actually been murdered. With audience members serving as the jury, Miss Andre was acquitted the first night but found guilty the second. Audience participation was also important on May 18 and 20 as two Casts presented 'gBessie, The Bandit's Beautiful Baby, and HDesperate Desmond's Dastardly Deed. The emotional portrayals were complete with stagehands carry- ing placards directing spectator reactions. Susan .Trout defies Ruby Beams' accusations of her affection for Mike Poer while Teresa Potts and Marilyn Curless have a slight family disagreement. Stagehand David Smith directs the audience reaction as the villian makes the scene. Jim Payne proposes to Karen Eisenhour as Desperate Bill Waller prepares to foil the romantic plans.
