UHAMATIES Tllfllc STUDE TS l HESPU SIBILITY Inquiring reporter finds out about the plays. At Central each year, various plays are given by students for the development of self-realization and civic responsibility. These plays help the students to memorize fast, think clearly, and carry responsi- bility. When an individual is in front of an audience and is acting to his fullest extent, he has the biggest sensation that could exist within a person. He knows that the part he is playing is his very own to have and to own, and with such an ideal in mind, he develops his sense of responsibility to a high degree. Central has many plays during the duration of the yearg the Christmas Play, Armistice Day Play, Senior Play, All-School-Play, and the Wakitan Play. This year the plays have played a large part in the lives of many students at Central. lt has developed the dramatic ability of the students in the play, and has developed a sense of pleasure and determination in the other students. Central is very fortunate to have Miss Lacy, Miss Davies and Miss Groves, for dramatic coaches. These teachers are well informed and advanced in the dramatic line for entertainment. Miss Lacy teaches Speech and Dramatics in class work and helps the students realize more about dramatics and speech as a major factor in our future lives. Miss Davies is a teacher of English, and has charge of the performance for the Armistice Day Play, and helps in the selection of characters for the various iff plays throughout the year. .

THE ALL-SCHOOL PLAY The play that always highlights the year for Central is the All-School Play, and this year's play proved to be a masterpiece. The name of the play was t'The Royal Family,'y and deals with the life of the Barrymore family. The dialogue, acting, and presentation was done excellently, and was highly received by the audience. SENIOR PLAY The play, The Man with the Bowler Hat, was the last of its type to be given by Seniors. Although a Senior week was considered unnecessary because of the mid-term exemption of graduates, the Senior play was presented as usual. It met with great suc- cess by the Central audience. ARMISTICE DAY PLAY In observance of Armistice day, an assembly was presented to Central students that was both stirring and dramatic. The play given was named Pawns, and concerns the YYOrld War and how it affected the rural neighbors in different countries. The cast con- sisted of Stanley Fishman, Irwin Baird, Ii'ving Schoenberg, Dorean Bedox, Phil Driver, David Walker, and Bill Seeber gave the prologue. .xg J .X 2- x an .urge if . ' Q- .
