Drama Students Receive Awards “A man alone is a small thing. A nation is a small thing. Remembering this, we must recognize something much more than our need of others. We must remember their need of us.” (from A Star Was His Candle) The dramatics class presented ten one-act plays under the direction of Mrs. Geraldine Black. Qualifications of the members were good memories, candidness, self- discipline, and articulate speech. A best actor or actress was selected from each play by all members and were presented awards. Practice was held every day sixth period in the cafeteria. Curtis Dixon (Chuck) sits patiently with Jimmie Collins (Papa) while wait- ing for Carol Sanders (Elvira). Mrs. Black assigns parts to students for their next play. Carol Sanders looks disgusted after being given a prompt “no” by Jimmie Collins.
