if Qmhmm-8 me .Za t4 :ar 'hs Wu This year the freshmen and sophomores combined into one dramatic class with Mr. Duncan instructing. ln the fall the classes began working on diction, pronunciation, and enunciation. Then, after a few weeks, they advanced into working on short parts from plays and various monologues. ln the second semester they worked on short skits and dia- logues. A few of the girls who participated in the monologues were lane Bickel, Terry Vincent, and Dolores Sauer. ln The Score is Tied and Ma is Fit To Be, lane Bickel portrayed an extremely ignorant woman at a football game in which she thinks her darling son is to be killed. Terry Vincent performed Florist Shop, in which a woman has a very difficult time talking to her husband over a pay telephone. In a short scene from Stage Door Dolores Sauer informed Verne Richards that she was not going to marry him. lerry Street and Bar- bara Robbins did Councillor at Law done in the familiar Brooklyn accent. ln a few of the class meetings Mr. Duncan appointed different girls to take charge of the class.
