A. , Virginia State College English, French Publicity and Public Relations Committee One Year at Carver In 1953, the staff of Carver High School saw the need for including the teaching of dramatics in its curriculum. Since this time, the class has expanded tremendously in number. The interest has grown also, and on a whole, the class appears to be quite worth-while. The emphasis, of course, is placed on the students ' acting abilities. Thus, they get the opportunity to perform in different types of plays and to play differ ' ent roles. A group of students are doing a scene from one of their original plays, Trouble with Mom. The purposes of the class are; to teach and to create a better appreciation for good literature; also, to help the students become versatile actors and ac- tresses. ' cm
