- FORLORN. With his futile explanations and impending departure, Captain Fisby (Ray Hartung) disillusions Lotus Blossom (Lynn Adams), already saddened by the destruction of her teahouse. Lengthy discussion ensued since the play offered no major female roles. The choice settled, the Art Service Club began construction of the teahouse. Taking advantage of the seniors’ dramatic talent and ex- perience, director Miss Marlise Bok produced a crowd-drawing comedy of post-war Okinawa.

While others went Christ- mas shopping, the Historian literary staff labored nights to complete pages and to meet an early deadline. The last week before the holi- days, homerooms, prompted by the SCA, collected money, canned goods, and toys for needy families. In a three-group assembly, the drama class and glee club presented The Man Who Found Christmas. ' MAGNIFYING glass in hand, Miss Marian Breeden, Historian literary adviser, spends evenings prior to an early deadline examining piles of photographic contact sheets, consisting of rows of miniature prints.
