Cunningham 1 1 The scene opens with a dark and stormy night from the Fall of the House of Usher. It was the first presentation of three short Edgar Allen Poe plays by the Senior dramatists. After many, many long evenings of practicing the play and building the set, the 15 member cast and crew were well prepared for their debut as CHS stars. The presentation of the short plays, The Fall of the House of Usher, Purloined Letter and Tell Tale Heart went until THE FINAL PERFORMANCE. As tradition went, the final perfor- mance was filled with many pranks and jokes. With large black spiders, whoppee cushions, disappearing letters, happy noises. Peppermint Extract and Master Zoka’s, Heath Haukland, superb acting ... a ten minute death act, the plays were filled with extra laughter. The cast and crew had a fun-filled finale, leaving the empty stage echoing with laughter — waiting for the next curtain call. Jess Stark (David Barth), the peddler. Anally breaks down after he committed a murder, with his wife Lorna's (Kim O'Connor) company. 92 Seniors

t . . . The days were being counted down, one by one the numbers decreased. The ordering of caps and gowns made the glorious day come into perspective. The gowns were measured, the caps were sized, and extra tassels were ordered for the car’s rearview mirror. The excitement among the seniors had increased. During the week of graduation practices, the caps and gowns were distributed. Each senior tried on their gown proudly and placed the cap squarely on their head, the girls in red and the boys in black. “Can you believe it? We are finally graduating!” The caps and gowns were only symbols of the victory that each graduating senior won, the first step in the game of real life. Tabatha Bowman carefully examines a homeroom-mate’s cap for perfection. While in line Karen Wooten and Charlene Marcus put the finishing touches and bobby-pins in the hair. 94 Seniors Sheryl L.
