The family and close friends gather to hear Aunt Caroline (Jane Stout) tell them never to expect one penny from her. The plot thickened when Aunt Caroline died and everyone spent the rest of the play covering up for each other. Miss Mabbitt, played by Darlene Delagrange, decided at the last minute to confess her sins, for she poisoned Aunt Caroline. Eugene Leichty, Susan Smith, and Joitta Delagrange look on as Craig Martin, the not-so-clever Detective Clayton, tries to figure all this out Elaine Arnett (seated) has her own ideas about who the killer might be. Who Killed Aunt Caroline? wasn ' t all murder and sus- pense. Off stage, crew members like Jeff Clark and Trace Roth had fun spending long hours building sets for the play. fall play .11;

Bigger Better ■ More experience, more members, and more activities make up the Drama Club. The members participate in plays and take field trips and undertake several money- making projects. To gain funds for new cos- tumes and set construction materials, they sell play tick- ets and pay dues. Along with entertaining others, the members provide amusement for themselves by going bowling, attending oth- er schools ' play productions, and by throwing Halloween, Christmas, and end-of-school parties. When asked their opinions of Drama Club, sophomore Beth Liechty exclaimed, It is a really good experience, and Tricia Tappy remarked, It ' s neat, and I ' m really glad I ' m in it. Besides giving members the chance to make new friends, the club offers a great opportunity for anyone to develop and practice his acting abilities if he plans to make a career of acting in the future. But perhaps Drama Club is summed up best by sophomore Susan Smith, who shrieked, I love it! -Lisa Antil aa
