Although the core of drama students is small, they were able to put on five plays including: Bus Stop , Fiddler on the Roof , The Real Inspector Hound , The Fifteen Mlnute Hamlet and The Red Shoes performed by the Children's Theatre during winter term. In March, the Flne Arts division hosted the Tow- el and Toothbrush weekend.
