W5- -- 1 J , . ,A Needless to say, this is only one ofthe many drama students practicing for some such play as Don't Drink the Water by Woody Allen. Mr. Morrow, the drama instructor, prac- tices a critical system in his classes. Two students act out an impromptu subject while the remainder of the class points out the'defects in their presentation. This, Mr. Morrow claims, helps the students to be more aware of their mistakes. The eyes bulge, the feet shuffle, and sweaty hands are wiped on clean white pants. Then a forcefully calm voice takes on an excited, dramatic tone. These are a few symptoms of a disease commonly known as ner- vousness. Many debate students have learned to live with this infirmity, but very few are able to cure it. Speech teachers, however, claim that anxiety LEFT: Chuck Coats, drama student, expresses his views on impromptu acting. X-A.

The debate team has acquired a sizeable collection of trophies in various dramatic tour- naments. lt isn't unusual to see speech people dressed up on Fridays. They do not dress upforthe same reason as the football players, but rather to attend one of the area speech tour- naments held almost weekly. Debaters become a dedicated work force, devoting many weeks to lugging briefcases, file boxes, extemp files and personal belongings around foreign schools to compete in various communications contests. Debaters learn to live without sleep or food, to be polite when it seems impossible, and to accept defeat as well as victory. Although debaters are frequently frustrated by incompetentjudges and impossible topics, hard work is rewarded with trophies, individual honors, high ratings, and self- satisfaction.

RIGHT: Madrigal Choir members, Paul Dunn, Dusty Hoskins, Becky Creever, and Kathryn Young labor over the task of learning new Christmas music. RIGHT: Renee Duncan, Beth Rogers, Susy Davis, and Sharon Dorman study their scripts before presenting their rendition of Don't Drink the Water in drama class. The sounds of silence are foreign to performing students Entering into the inescapable world known as the music hall , one will discover that 'fquiet and serene are definitely not ap- propriate descriptions for this musically oriented section of the school. With tenors on the left and tubas on the right it is easy to unders- tand why music directors are oc- casionally found leaping from lights and screaming for Q-U-I-E-T ! From behind the doors of the choir rooms have emerged musical selections from Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer to Handel's Hallelujah Chorus . To those of us not involved in choir, it seems like a fairly simple subject. But do not say that to the half-asleep students who arrive at 7:30 each morning for sec- tion rehearsals and spend fifty-five minutes each day standing on wobbly risers. Mr. Moore drills the choirs in scales and pronunciation refusing to accept anything short of perfect. And a one, two, one, two, three! Suddenly the halls come alive with the sound of music and so starts another hour of band rehearsals. The band has proven its outstanding abili- ty in marching and competition by not only being rated superior in its region, but also being named Best at Bell. The band also received an ex- cellent rating in all areas of UIL competition, highlighting a year of superb performance. Do not be surprised if one day you happen to be quietly passingthrough the halls, minding your own business, and out from nowhere pops a strange-looking character clad in an assortment of borrowed garments, shouting at the top of his lungs.
