Drama Helps Students to Display Talent Practicing for the play Our Town, ” one of the many plays performed in Central's auditorium, are sophomore Roxanne MacDonald and sophomore Ann St. Laurent. This play had the best turn-out of the year. Drama classes, instructed by Mrs. Ruth Anketel, enabled students to express themselves by acting in plays, applying make-up and in designing costumes. Two semesters of drama filled the requirement of speech. While the two plays of this year, “Our Town” and “Around the World in Eighty Days,” were being produced, many drama students helped. Some students were book holders, aids in learning lines; others were make-up people, costume designers and others changed props between scenes. Daily routine in the drama classes included reading of plays, learning to annunciate words clearly, and learning how to apply one’s feelings into a play. Each drama class studied various plays. After taking drama, or even while taking it, students chose to tryout for a part in one of the plays. Drama often lead to being a Thespian. Assisting Mrs. Ruth Anketell, play director, with cue cards are Jennifer Walmsley and Sue Morse. ACADEMICS

Bi-weekly Receives All American Rating Mr. David BraendTe attempts to solve a problem for Sports Editor, Jim Reiss in the midst of the clutter of papers needed for the approaching deadline. Central’s Bi-weekly received an All American rating last year. The National Scholastic Press Association gave them the All American rating and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association rated them first. However, they were not one of the medalists. This year’s staff had an average of 20 members. Six key positions were assigned: editor, sports editor, feature editor, news editor, art editor and editorial editor. The staff was lead by Dave Talaga, Editor. Early issues of the Bi-weekly were a problem because only one person with newspaper experience from last year returned this year. Positions on the staff could be changed, however, the positions of editor and managing editor were not changed. Dave Talaga remained as Editor and Bob Lynch retained the office of Managing Editor. Bi-weekly looked forward to a successful year. Jean Tomaszewski, Carla Wales and Sue Flem-mer are kept busy discussing ideas for the next issue of the bi-weekly newspaper. 28 ACADEMICS
