Role-Playing Is Their Business Drama Club was a newcomer to MHS this year. It was the first time a group of would-be actors and actresses got together, and were involved in the theatre. Ms. Dexhei-mer was advisor to the group. Members worked on publicity, backstage, and stage construction for the school play. Meetings were very informal, and consisted of drama activities, such as pantomiming, improvisation, and role-acting. One of the major activities was the production of “Alice in Wonderland” during the Fine Arts Fair, and at the grade schools. Alice” was set up as an audience-participation play, and was termed a success by the MHS audiences. Drama Club was an enriching and unique experience for all members involved.

Delicacies Delight French Club The French Club was in full swing right from the start. They started the year off with a bike-hike and a picnic for all members. The freshmen were made welcome during the annual initiation. As the weather turned frosty, French Clubbers were out carolling through Monroe, in French of course. Many of the year’s activities were centered around French delicacies. A pastry party allowed members to show their creative cooking skills, as well as taste an assortment of pastries. Gourmet techniques were perfected as a French banquet-progressive dinner was held. Members prepared and served an actual French meal. In the spring, the M-Room served as the breakfast place for early-rising French Club members. To finish the year the way it started, a picnic was enjoyed by all. Along with crepes, biking, and a lot of good food, the French speaking population of MHS will remember the good times they had participating in this year’s French Club.
