25 David Wilson and Vicky Entsminger join hands as they have a loving conversation in front of the audience. For their fall production, the LHS Drama department presented The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde. The play was direc- ted by Ms. Leech, a newcomer to the English and Drama departments. The production is a story about society, and involves a problem marriage set up by a meddling mother. The play concentrates on character switches, and stresses the importance of telling the truth. The performance was well-attended on both nights, and was put on by a cast of good actors. All in all, the play was a tribute to the LHS Drama department. Bess Weatherman portrays a distressed woman as the rest of the cast seems to be quite happy. Play

The Junior Class put a lot of preparation into the Christmas Dance, which had Fable as its band. The theme of the dance was Toy- land, and huge toy soldiers guarded the doors of the gym. Large mur- als of Santa ' s workshop, with elves making toys, were hung on the walls. A toy train ran along the bleachers, and a tree with blinking lights and presents was in the center of the floor. The dance was well-attended, making a nice profit for the Juniors to work on the Prom with. Another dance held at the Presbyterian Church drew a large high school crowd, which gave everyone a bonus social event. Admission to the dance was very low, and refresh- ments were served free. The object of the dance was not to make money, but to bring a large crowd of people together to have a good time. This was easily accomplished, since a much larger crowd than was expec- ted showed up. Everyone had a good time, and hoped for another in- formal dance in the near future. Phillip Clark and Stephanie Darrell swing to the sound of Fable as they are carried into Toyland at the Christmas Dance. A few faithful Juniors donate their after- noon to make a wall mural picturing Santa ' s workshop to be used at the dance. 26 Chrono
