We strive to keep communication open by seeing each other's view- points and by setting and working towards mutual goals, remarked .Ioan St. John, drama director. A variety of plays included comedy, drama, mystery, children's theatre, and the big musical. With all of these choices, no one could be left disappointed. This could have been the reason for the increased interest and enrollment. Students showed a great desire to learn more about performing on stage and learning backstage technical aspects. Most students who were involved were upperclassmen. Many freshmen seemed to take more interest in stagecraft. Plans, however, were taken to have prerequisites for stagecraft classes to attract those who have an appreciation for theatrical production and unders- tand the responsibilities involved. Like with all other extracur- ricular activities at McClintock, many present and former students have benefitted from attending MHS.

A graduate of 1982, Patsy Somlo, is now attending a performing arts school in New York. Other 82 graduates also received top honors. Greg Autore planned to attend a school in which he will improve his expertise in the field of costume and set design. Keith Burns will major in theatre at a university. Ron Campbell will b a welcome addition to anyone' technical theatre program. Camp bell contributed many of his talent to Boyle Auditorium.
