Spring Productions At Last Spring, the Douglass High School Chorus and Drama De- partment displayed their usual excellence in the performing arts. Their Cabaret was an overnight success, with such fa- miliar tunes as For Once in My Life, and All That Jazz, and of course, Come to the Caberet. The show, which consisted of dance routines and rousing ren- ditions, was the story of a young man ' s travels to New York. Cassandra Grier, Kimberle Walthall and Treece Whitfield rouse the crowd with The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy . . , Right Sonya Maddox sings at the Cabaret Bottom Left Melenle Few discusses a newspaper article with her friends.

Freshmen Who was the president of the Freshman class at Douglass dur- ing the 1982- ' 83 school year? It was not Billy Carter nor Richard Pryor. The president for the 82- 83 school year was none other than Jeffry Bond. Jeffry had three major goals for the school year: to increase school spirit, to increase atten- dance at games, and to increase counseling sessions. The latter, he felt was vital to the understanding of the new re- quirements and the switch to the semester system. Jeffry went into office with the drive and de- termination to accomplish some- thing for his class. He felt that it was his duty to get the job done. Jeffry ' s word of advice for his classmates was to have some- one to look up to so you can see how hard they tried. Jeffry hopes to run for future offices and eventually become a major factor in the student body gov- ernment. : Definition JFreshman — Fresln-.,,a,i .:,;,: sp IWebster ' s definition — n: Novlc| istudent in his first year.

Bottom This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius! Also, this Spring, Douglass was treated to a production by the Up With People troop. This menagerie of college students from all over the world sang and danced their way into our hearts. Their positive songs and vivid costumes served to add more to our enjoyment. We were treated to songs from Hair, the Su- premes, and a Beach Boy med- ley. Since the group travels world wide, it was an honor and a privi- ledge to have them. Academics Feature 35
