Holl wood Next! From beginning to the end of the year, strange sounds were heard and weird acts were witnessed as students walked past room 503. For on the other side of the blue-painted door were teachers Ms. Debra Holman and students participating in such classes as forensics, drama, speech, and communication. Taught by Holman, communications classes learned the value of the word and learned how to apply it to themselves, another person, and a group of people. One of the projects assigned was creating a but- ton that would represent them individually. Drama classes were en- gulfed in Shakespeare projects, acting scenes, and working on the spring play. Fourth hour forensic students participated in various projects and tournaments during the year. Preparation for the annual fall speech festival were one of the first undertakings of the class. Held at Wind- sor High School, G.V.H.S. participants walked away with twenty-two excellent and superior certificates. At the P.T.A. carnival held in the high gymnasium, forensics students received second place on decora- tion of the booth. After ticket-counting was over, it was found that thirty-six dollars belonged to the organization as a result of their en- deavors. ' Eeyore's Christmas Present , presented December tenth for kinder- garten through third grades from Matthew's Elementary, was the next project. Those casted for parts began memorization of lines while oth- ers began building the set, organizing props and positions. Explaining to her first hour eighth grade speech class the projects they are working on, Ms. Holman misses the look that Tandy Reedy gives the photographer frightj. Waiting for their cue, actors and ac- tresses follow the spring play book, entitled The Woman At Dead Oaks tbelow leftj.
