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.

Three years of burning the midnight oil, struggling through compositions, grappling with seeming endless rows of puzzling math problems, and putting a few extra shines on the apple placed thirty Fox High juniors on the Honor Society la st spring. This year these students sponsored the school play, and once again prepared for initiation, this time for next year's seniors. The skits, dignified ceremony, and final sighs of relief are always a part of spring to the provisionary members of the Honor Society. But all is not work for this organization. Hilarious skits with forgotten lines and mis- placed props, precariously filled trays of food, and stimulating games at initiation welded the senior and provisionary members together with a sense of accomplishment and expectation . 6 OFFICERS, Left to right: Dennis Cordell, vice- B u president, Eddie Dove, President, Adina Johnson g secretary, Mike Joest, treasurer. midnight oil proves worth-while for Honor Society members.
