Lockers: The Inside Story What one piece of school do we use and abuse more than anything else? What holds much of our graffiti, pictures, pride, men, women, cartoons, favorite ads, decorations, . . . memories? What can remind us of cuteness, sexiness, extra¬ curricular activities, parties, weekends, vacations, secret pals and friends. Where do we congregate to study, eat, whisper private thoughts or simply gossip? What contains two of the most confusing directions and three of the most forgettable numbers? What is our beloved home away from home? Why, of course, our lockers!

Looking down upon Eleanor, Luke tells her everything will be all right. Play Holds Audiences Spellbound As first play of the year, “The Haunting of Hill House was a tremendous success. Tryouts were held in October, followed by six weeks of rehearsals including weekends. “It seemed like forever, but it was worth it,” said Robbi Robertson, a member of the cast. Linder the direction of Mr. Jim Dotson and financially supported by Fort Hunt, sets were built and costumes found. Lead roles were Nancy Heil as Eleanor, Ralph Mirabal as Dr. Montague, and Kathryn Bolte as Theadora. The play was excellently performed, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats and often screaming until the final crash of Eleanor’s death. Preparing for the play. Dona Fradenburg and Joe Bambery not only apply Reggie Jones’ make-up but help to mentally psyche him up. I Drama Production 19
