Kingsley, Mr. Hockstad, From father to son. This year the forensics team was not very large, but was suc- cessful in its endeavors. Six people and one multiple reading group competed at District level. Although everyone did a fine job, three members were outstanding--Pat Hopfinger, Howard Hockstad, and Anne Greer. Each competed at regional level, where Anne was eliminated during finals by stiff competition. But, Pat and Howard placed first and second respectively. Pat and Howard then traveled to state finals in Ann Arbor, where they were also eliminated, All 3 should be commended for their fine achievements. Good luck next year to all the new and old members.

LADIES OF THE TOWER The Drama Students, under the direction of Mr. Pope, presented three plays this year. All three plays took a lot of time and effort. But, they were well worth the work in- volved as proven by the audiences' response. In the fall two one-act plays-NOT FAR FROM THE GIOCONDA TREE and LADIES OF THE TOWER-were preformed. In the spring the students chose PLAZA SUITE for their next production. This play was a three-act comedy which made it a very large and difficult assignment. Do to the hard work of many people, PLAZA SUITE was the first play to be presented in the Old Town Hall since 1952.
