Bottom: Buddy Goodman, who ployed Norman in the Junior class ' production of the fall play, The Star-Spangled Girl, attempts to keep Sophie Rauschmeyer, his ardent love, out of his thoughts by struggling to complete the typing for his magazine ' s next publication. Below: A drenched and furious Sophie Rausch- meyer (Jan Durham) greets Andy (Carl Burlock) at the door of his apartment-office in The Star-Spangled Girl. Right: Allen Gray contrib- utes his time and working abilities to help build the set for the drama department ' s end- of-winter production of The World of Carl Sandburg. That Allen ' s form is blurred from his active set-building is appropriate for Mr. Sandburg ' s play since the playwright led an ever-moving life. The production emphasized Sandberg ' s philosophy and way of life through his poetry, music, and comfortable wit. 10 STUDENT LIFE

PLAYS ARE PRESENTED BY THE DRAMA CLASS Above: Members of the set crew for The World of Carl Sandburg worked diligently in order to complete the stage work by opening night. The seating arrangement for the production was horseshoe-in-the-round and brought the actors and the audience closer together. During each outstanding performance, the cast created such a poetic mood that it enveloped eoch observer ' s emotions and stimulated his response. The play in- cluded Carl Sandburg ' s folklore and both his serious and humorous poetry. The life of a great man certainly lead to an excellent production by the Hampton drama stu- dents. Lower left: Mr. Frank, in The Dairy of Anne Frank, pronounces the Hanukkah blessing in the Secret Annex to (clockwise) Larry Williams as Mr. Frank; Carolyn Orser as Margot; Preston Thompson as Mr. Dussel; Lyn- dall Goldman as Anne Frank; Mike Stacey as Peter Van- Daan; Jane Peterson as Mrs. VanDaan; David Hartman as Mr. VanDaan; and Debbie Walck as Mrs. Fronk. Given in December, the play received both television and radio reviews, which commented on its extreme degree of difficulty and the successful manner in which the performances were produced. Mr. David McClung di- rected the plays at Hampton High and perfected each performance in order to truly show the talent of his students and the art of dramatics. STUDENT LIFE 11
