Students had ample opportunities to show their acting talents in the past year. East ' s annual Variety Show, using the “Time Tun¬ nel” theme, was a great success. Emcee’s Bob Newcomb and Rick Ray traveled through various time zones, viewing talent of the past, present, and future. The first dramatic production, The Admirable Crichton, showed the talent and imagination of the cast and especially the director, Mr. Doug Mitchell. A newcomer to East, Mr. Mitchell has made his mark with Crichton and 1984. His skill as a set designer was uti¬ lized to make 1984 astonishing real. Also contributing to the reali¬ ty were the performances of Cece Clark and Rick Ray, two of East’s talented students discovered this year. Talented Students Offer Drama Productions Ruth Ann Robertson and “Honeybun score a big hit at the Variety Show. Dan Robinson and Kathy Price have a heated argument in one of the scenes from The Admirable Crichton. Cece Clark and Rick Ray ponder the evils of Big Brother in 1984. m
