■ “Don’t Drink The Water” The spring play entitled Don't Drink the Water written by Woody Allen and directed by Mrs. Jo Hamm turned out to be a tremen- dous success! Several months of rehearsal and set preparation were needed before the play was actually presented. The set which included a sixteen foot backdrop was well worth the long hours of work, and the many head- aches that it took the cast and crew to put it together. The relatively in- experienced cast was able to make the show an impressive one! The story line rotates around three members of the Hollander family who are mistaken for American spies in a communist nation and seek refuge in the U.S. Embassy. Once the family invaded the embas- sy, chaos ensued. The communists tried to arrange a spy exchange, but the deal fell through. The Sultan of Bashir had previous- ly been insulted by an inconsiderate Mr. Hollander. To make amends, the Ambassador threw a party to regain the friendship of the Sultan. Mr. and Mrs. Hollander were able to slip away from the party unnoticed, and were able to return home via certain extraneous routes. Even though distinct personality conflicts marked rehearsals, the ac- tors pulled it together on stage. Overall, the two performances were delightful achievements. All mem- bers of the cast and crew grew and matured during this short period of time in their high school careers. — Bobby Burnett Upper Left — Set construction added an extra spice ot life for the play.
