The Crucible The Salem witch trials were taken very seriously and many innocent people died because of the deceitful minds of children and adults. These trials were por- trayed in the first play of the school year. The Crucible was directed by Stephen Froelich and was presented by the drama club on November 13 and 14. When asked why he selected this particular play, Mr. Froelich remarked, I wanted to do a drama with a balance in male and female roles, with a relevant message, and because I did it when I was a sophomore in high school. It took considerable cooperation on the part of the cast to perform such an in- tense drama. Fro was pleased with the cast; they were able to work well together. He feels it is essential to have a cast that labors tediously to perform a play; then, with a snap of a finger it all comes together for the two-evening performance. Scenes from The Crucible, moving clockwise, show Mr and Mrs. Proctor discussing the activities of Salem; the elders of the community, Thomas Putnam, Rebecca Nurse and Mrs. Ann Putnam trying to find a way to heal the ail- ing Betty Parris; Rev. Parris praying for the life of his daughter, Betty, and. Rev. Parris, Giles Corey and John Proctor discussing Betty's illness and the rumor ol witchcraft in the town. 22 THE CRUCIBLE

Arena Scheduling On May 5, 1073 sophomores and juniors were involved in arena scheduling. Most students realize this is the day they will find out if they can get fifth period lunch, a certain teacher or early release. Some students get every class they want but others aren't as fortunate. At the top left, Steve LaBolt gets help from Mrs. Drossel for which he is very grateful. Above, Linda Doyle tries to adjust her schedule to meet her needs. At the right, a volunteer parent explains to Becky Cross that the class she wants is full. At the top right, many students are seen gathered around the counselors' tables to get some help. ARENA SCHEDULING 21
