Student performers interpret dance and dramatic roles Once again Cody students were entertained last year by performers from the Theater Guild and the dramatics classes in the one-act play festival that was presented on Cody's stage in an arena atmosphere. Members of the Theater Guild and Junior Drama League found interpretation the key to a good performance. Students spent hours searching for the correct interpretations of the characters they portrayed in this year's productions. Although they started the season with a new cast, the Theater Guild rated top billing for their spring, fall, and one-act plays. Work was also begun on a series of orientation movies about life at Cody. The Junior Drama League understudied the Theater Guild, preparing themselves for the time when they would take the stage on opening night. An interpretive performance took the form of dance movement for the Modern Dance Club. The melody became a story as they performed at the city wide Children's Christmas Concert, High School Dance Concert and Bandarama.
