Student play ' c 9 ' ' 1S bear 1f1C! Masque and Gavel exhibited crea- tivity and acting talent in its rendition of The Curious Savage. The play focused on the character Ethel, who believed in fools of the heart and planned to invest S10 million in bonds of her husband's memorial fund for their cause. The result was a 'series of mishaps as her family attempted to obtain the bonds for selfish reasons. For seven weeks, students rehearsed two hours a day to fully develop their characters. Other members devoted eight to ten hours on Saturdays to build the play's large and detailed set. The Curious Savage was the fifth mainstage play that Ms. Annette Lewis has directed on campus. Her husband, Mr. Keith Lewis designed the sets. Infuriated over the disappearance of the bonds Titus interrogates Mrs. Paddy. Dr. Emmett and Miss Wihelmina look on as Ethel unties the ribbon of her teddy bear to expose the much sought after bonds.

-- One-Acts -- Short plays amuse pupils Ten student directors and over 50 students were involved in the February production of the one-act plays. Students in the plays practiced after school, and the drama instructor's only role was to coordinate the rehearsals. The students showed a lot of enthusiasm, commented Ms. Annette Lewis, drama teacher. They were dependable and hard working. The directors and actors both learned how difficult it is to produce a quality play. The one-act plays are presented each February as the year's second major drama presentation. Actors receive experience from the one-acts that f benefits the major productions, Ms. Lewis said. In the play Many Moons Byron Carrick asks Mfg to hear the special music that the princess heard, while Liz Scarinzi sits pensively. In order to fully develop their characters, Clzris Arnold and Kathy Pongracz rehearse their roles.
