photos by J.£. Stover Growing With Style The usual fall drama fare was changed to a combo of three one-act plays — 4 Trio. ' Variety and Challenge! Those were the keys to the Drama Club ' s fall production of three one-act plays known as A Trio. The 28 performers were mostly cast in several roles which provided them with the challenge of per- forming everything from drama to comedy. The first play, The Haunted Carousel, was a drama about people lost in space and time. The tone of the play was eerie. The action revolved around the magic of the carousel and the effect it had on several lives. Eden, the second selection, was about the people ' s lack of hu- manity. The pro-life idea present- ed in the play started out as simple child ' s play and then turned to the horror of a faceless society controlled by the leader and the chairman. The third play, entitled Help, comically examined our priorities — are we concerned about the well-being of our neighbors or their problems? The combination of the three plays provided both the audience and the performers with a variety of theatrical experiences. As Mr. Stover said, We really needed a change, something different than our usual fall play. I wanted to do something with heavy messages. I didn ' t know if they ' d be popular, but I didn ' t care, I just wanted to give the exceptional talent we have here at Leo something to grow on. As usual, the Drama Club grew and grew . . . — Shelly Slentz During The Haunted Carousel, Amy Little prepares to tell Jodi Halt about the little boy she wishes she had.

hristmas A Time To Give The Christmas spirit was enhanced by all that was given to the needy families of our community. Christmas is a time for giving, and the students at Leo proved that last Christmas season by donating food, clothes and other such necessities to needy families. Over 2000 cans were donated for the annu- al can drive. Boxes of donations were loaded into vans and taken to the Christmas Bureau to be deliv- ered to less fortunate families to help make their Christmas a time of love and happiness. Student Council president Jeff Kimbel said, I felt that the can drive allowed the students and faculty of Leo High School the opportunity to come to the aid of the community ' s needy. Christmas vacation gave the students a time to break away from the hectic school life. Students en- joyed such activities as skating, or going on vacation with their families to Florida. Those students who didn ' t travel anywhere over photo bv lane Reece break spent their time sleeping in, spending time with their friends, or visiting relatives. Many stu- dents also rushed to the crowded malls to do last minute Christmas shopping. Melanie Brandt, one such shopper, said, Last minute shopping was a great experience because the shoppers were really into the Christmas spirit. Christmas also allowed the students of Leo to ad- mire the many Christmas lights and decorations of the Yuletide season at the zoo and downtown Fort Wayne. As December 26 rolled around, another Christmas season ended with the realization that vacation would be coming to an end soon, and the students would be returning to school once again. — Shelly Slentz 24 IL Christmas
