Another success at Central started with the many involved students in the arts department. The Drama Club put on two plays throughout the year. Both plays had a big turn-out. “Our second play is very popular and so we are working very hard and are having many practices, so we got it all perfected for opening night,” said Debbie Dockett, who played major roles in each play. Drama teacher Mr. Serresseque and one of his loyal students, Mike Kegley, both played important roles in the Bay City Players, version of “On Golden Pond.” They did a tremendous job. The Art class also showed they had the BCC spirit as they participated in the Studio 23 Art Show. They also sold buttons during the week of Valentine’s Day and for the nurses when they were striking. They’ve done many other activities including the paintings on the windows uptown for Halloween and the sets for both plays. They did the backdrop for Band Bounce too. Next year they plan on painting walls at Washington School. Band members got into the swing of things by selling jackets to raise money for new uniforms, which were needed badly. They hope to have the new uniforms by next fall. It took music, acting, dance and a lot of know how to make the annual Band Bounce a perfect achievement. This year’s theme was “Music U.S.A.” There were many memorable moments for all who took part, but especially for those who are seniors. It was their last time to really get involved with the happenings at Central. 1. Eager band members practice for the upcoming Band Bounce. Mr. Neal Everson, Mrs. Lois Hodges, Mr. Frank Serresseque, and Mrs. Pat Serresseque were the teachers that have really helped the students a lot. 4 Arts
