Set design, publicity, and props are taken care of by the students The Performing Arts Class, under the direction of E. James Lucas, has produced five dramatic comedies and two musical comedies. Students who are interested are encouraged to participate in area Drama Festivals and Speech Contests. In fact, one Performing Arts senior, Ramona George, placed fourth in the N.Y.S.
