Dramas ' The Drama Club is the r most secretive club in the c - , 3 school. Who can contest that fact? After all, it only makes a few short appear- ances during the year and it seems to fade out of ex- istence in between, but if the students only knew how much hard work is put into those infrequent appear- ances. . .if they only had an idea of all the trials and tribulations one must go through to produce a lawless show. The tre- mendous amount of work often causes drama to be- come more work than play. e . Yet it has its own special aspects. lt has its own unique idiosyncracies, perhaps it is because of that sense of intimacy shared by all the actors. Perhaps it is the fact that when we're not working, we're always joking. Perhaps it is because someone is always playing the piano twell that depends on who is playingl., But perhaps the most important aspect of Drama is thatrfriendships are made andthoughts are shared. And of course it'-s those few hours before the beginning of the play when we're all nervous and we ask our- selves, ls all the work worth it? lnevitably that question is always answered by the sound of that applauding audience. The sound no performer can forget. That's what makes being in Drama, getting up on that stage, and spilling your heart out to 700 people the greatest experience in the world. .I ,..- . fly Q' g rt 94. a S t 119 D

Commissioners: Sheldon Feit, Elliot Schachner q Bookroom Would you believe there is a commission in this school whose members give up their lunch periods in order to work in a cold, dark enclave embedded in an obscure region of the building? Would you believe there is a com- mission in this school under the direct control of Rabbi Heimowitz? Would you believe there is anything in this school under the direct control of Rabbi Heim- owitz? Well folks, the answer to all these questions is--The Bookroom Commission. Under the fearless guid- ance of our esteemed assistant principal twho assumed dictatorial power early in the year by refusing to give the keys to any of the commissionersl, the Bookroom boys brave the everyday problems of missing books, student complaints, and administrative incompetence. Sigmatron Had not another publica- tion already taken this name, Phoenix would be the ideal name for the Sigmatron. The Sigmatron was once a more or less active scientific pub- lication which later died for ly revived by the editors to become one of the most active publications in the school.
