Grease paint and glory cover thespians The play is over. Lights are dim. The scenery stands lonesomely in its place yearn- ing for a production . In the corner lie wrinkled scripts covered with long-forgotten notations and directions, their owners having gone on to new roles . Such is the atmosphere after a drama club production. Morose actors sadly remember past productions but jump anxiously into new comedies, tragedies or farces . This year found the drama club working excitedly on two plays, a mystery entitled Drums in the Night and an Irish skit called Mrs . Maloney's Affliction. For the first time, student directors were given the chance to try their wings at casting, blocking and costuming a play. Affliction, as it came to be called, concerned the confusion created when one woman, somewhat hard of hearing, spread ! rumors about one of the town's most respected citizens . Dr. Markwood, played by Luke Brennecke, confronts menacing revolver held by the villain, Warren Butler, played by Denny Cordell. Cheryl Weinstein magnificently portrays Jessica Wayne in drama club production of Drums in the Night. Drums in the Night exemplified the traditional whodunnit mystery thriller and was done in an English setting. l 30 KNEELING: Janet Hyde.

He begins to talk. As the hour preceeds and the four people take their turns at the lecturn, tension builds . Then the final rebuttal has been made, and it's suddenly over. Now comes the agonized Waiting for the results. The Winners are announced, and the drama is finished. Finished, that is, until the next tournament. Between times, the Fox High debate tea m is kept busy with new evidence, new arguments, and old-fashioned hard work. There's no doubt about it--the tiredest, hardest- working people in the whole school during the months of january through April are the debaters. At night their noses are buried in the latest magazines and newspapers. Their mornings are spent in the library copying evidence, and afternoons are filled with practice debates or tournaments. There you have the Fox High debater . Working himself to death--and loving every minute of it. OFFICERS: Denny Cordell, captain, JoAnn Wind, librarian, Kathie Geisler, secretary. 29
