Heritage tour proves to be exciting tHxcitement filled the air as the students and chaperones entered Washington D.C.’s international air- port. Nearly 50 students took advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity to tour the Eastern United States, from April 23 through May 1. The interest of the group focused on the history of our nation as a democracy, while visiting cities like New York, Washinton D.C., and Williamsburg. Some of the highpoints of the tour were the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, and the historical town of Williamsburg, Virginia. Many of the students said that it seemed like they had used a time machine to travel back to the times of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Heritage tour Spring

‘Up the Down Staircase’ v he 1985 spring drama production, “Up the Down Staircase,” premiered March 21 and ran through March 25. With a cast of 23 people, the show had one of the largest non-musical casts ever presented at Hellgate. The two act play was under the direction of second year drama coach Susan Gilboy who tackled the difficulty of the ex- tremely large cast with ease. This non-fictional production dealt with the problems of a first-year English teacher in a New York City high school trying to cope with the relationships involving her students. The lead part of Sylvia Barrett, played by senior Charlotte Hart, was performed brilliantly as was the part of Mr. McHabe, senior Andy Schenck. Including the per- formance of the rest of the cast, Bel Kaufman’s comedy play, “Up the Down Staircase,” was dubbed a success. CAST Mr. J.J. McHabe Sylvia Barrett... Bea Schacter......
