Students of English Dept. See MacBeth Majestically stands the Stratford Festival Theater, a modern replica of the old Globe Theater. Central's English department again sponsored a trip to Stratford Festival Theater in Canada where students from the English department saw Mac Beth . On Tuesday, October 12th at 5:30 A.M. two bus loads of students started on their way. Once they entered Cana- da through customs in Sarnia they stopped for breakfast at the Victorian Inn. Then it was on to Stratford where students had two hours to look over the city. At 2:00 P.M. everyone met at this replica of the Globe Theater to see this fine play of Shakespeare's per- formed by professional British actors from England. At the end of the play students had a chance to ask the leading actor a few questions about the play, the theater and acting in general. It was then back on the road stopping only in Sarnia again for supper at the Victorian Inn. The buses returned at 9:30 P.M. Hurrying to the theater, after a lunch break, for the start of the play are Central High School students Bill Murray, jackie Frazier, Linda Digby, Tom Barid, Kathy Wagner, and Richard Geneczko. 20facademics l l l Stopping to strike a pose like that of Shakespeare is jerry VanPelt, Senior Drama student.
