A swell of music drifted from the dark je and curtains slowly parted to reveal .. . it? A slice of any place or time. People from ther time and place came to life. 'hey seemed to be real people, living their s on a stage, oblivious to curtains, backdrops mperfect props. But when the play was over the magic dissolved, faces were recognized. :lents emerged from behind the closed cur- s and greeted friends and relatives. After a good performance you feel like you e accomplished something, Susan Str- ellow, junior, said. We have versatile actors who enjoy doing a af different things, Tony Brown, junior, said. ke to play unusual characters because people to see something other than just normal life. Everyone enjoys comedies because it suits characters, Jill Johnson, junior, said. We don't'do many serious plays because iedies are so much more fun. They let you ex- ss yourself more and we have a very ex- ssive group, Susan said. The drama department is a collection of ries, slight eccentrics who like to have fun, onica Kennedy, junior, said. This is not a by, this is our life. Most of us have been in ma so long we don't want to do anything :,'l she said, It,s habit forming. Roth Tony and Jill have been active in drama ze their eighth grade speech classes. In the h grade, Veronica was in a musical spoof of low White called Mirror, Mirror. She took ng lessons at Casa Manana until she was a 1 school freshman. : was the sixth year in drama for junior tt Crowe. I like to perform in front of people, make them laugh, Scott said. If you have a chance to do something, do it, anything that involves people to get rid of the fear of people. ' Drama involves more than just acting. In his role of Marryin' Sam, Scott learned to read music. Now I'm not as worried about singing in front of people. I was interested in drama and acting, Joan Martensen, junior, said. She didn't get involved in drama until her sophomore year. It develops a sense of being at home in front of people and the ability to express yourself. I plan to go into either law or politics and dramatic skills are a main requirement for either one. A multi-talented person, Joan combined two of her interests when she made about 20 costumes for the musical Guys and Dolls. With help from junior Diania McGill, she designed and put together the 17th century costumes for the last year's contest play Tartuffe. Because it's fun. The people make it fun, Susan said, I especially like little girlls parts like Ihad in 'Li'l Abner.' I couldn't believe it, Ladonna Baker, junior, said when she got the leading female role in 'iTom Jones. Hlt made all my years in drama worthwhile, she said. l'll never forgetf' said Veronica, the fun- niest thing that ever happened was in 'West of the Pecos.' Kevin tried to skip from act one to act three. The mere memory sent the entire group into peals of laughter and several people slipped into year-old characters to reenact the scene. Where I come from, when two people get married, we have a horse race,'l Mr. Fogg, alias Scott, kept a straight face as tried to save the show. 'iWhere'd he come from, was an undertone from Zeralda who looked surprisingly like Veronica. Finally, realizing what he had done, Kevin Daniel, senior, remembered the right line and ended act one instead of the entire show. Sometimes, things are only funny in retrospect. At the UIL contest, Tony made the close aquaintance of a prop that was leaning behind a curtain. I thought it was part of the curtain, he said after he ran into it the first time. The next time he got dragged into it. Two peo- ple were carrying him and each one went on a dif- ferent side ofthe prop. They were supposed to drag me off because I was too scared to run, Tony said. Finally, after hitting the prop with his shoulder, and then his head, he made it nearly to the end of the play before he backed into it. Three times, he raged, I hit that stupid thing three times. If Tony had bad luck with A Midsummer Night's Dream, Kevin didn't do much better with Tom Jones. During one of the first scenes, Kevin ran off stage into the dark backstage where he ran into a table and did a double flip. Later, in a fight scene with Tony, a seam ripped out of his pants. One day during rehearsal for Tom Jones, Tony used his own brand of humor to liven things up. We were just goofing around, Paul Cun- ningham, junior, said, Tony got that old manne- quin and strapped it to his back before he went on stage. He wore it while he was saying his lines. l L JUNIORS

Jones-Kilpatrick Pets favored over animal stars Cocoa, Sir Robert, Boy as special as Cass Ole, Benji Books are written about them. Films, car- toons and commercials feature them. They are put on calendars, posters, t-shirts and made in- to dolls. What's 'them?' Why, animals, of course, pets to be more specific. The recent movie The Black Stallion featured Cass Ole, a purebred Arabian Stallion, as a very special pet. Other famous pets are the dog Benji and Morris the Cat. Pets, however, needn't be nationally known to be special. Pets like Benji are loved by all, but I think my bulldogs, Lady and Sir Robert, are just as special as any other pet, Chris Douglas, junior, said. Following an old habit, Boy contemplates drink- ing out of an unusual watering bowl as Andrea Renfro, junior, fills the sink with water. Photography student Tim Dykes, sophomn took pictures of his pet for a grade perspective. Not all pets, however, are dogs. Shellie Johnson, junior, had a pony, Cocoa. He drinks coke out of the bottle, she said. Even more unusual than a pony is a python. Randy Sprinkle, sophomore, had just such a pet. Occasionally, he took it for a 'slither,' but eventually, it was run over by a lawn mower. The strangest pet of all belonged to sophomore Rob Allen. He owned a black and white rat named Cheap, formerly the com- panion of a gray rat named Trick. I woke up to go to school and Trick was laying there on his side freaking out. When l got home, he was a goner. Cheap survived the episode and lived for years though.l Six month old registered paint pony, named Wendy's Manolito, affectionately known as Horse partially halter broke and acts docile as he lets Steven Cooke, junior, lead him around the ya Although a hefty 300 pounds, Horse likes to wrestle with people like a big dog.
