Mrs. Cremer restrains a rather stunned Melody Kraus from drastic action. Wonder what Sunnie could be saying? Diana Hass winsomely blushes and turns to the side as Tauri Inness-Brown pleads with her. Lisa Toby in the dark suit completely approves Diana's actions as becoming to a young girl. MULTI-MOODFD MOM4R6'H5' M KF M RRY Monte Vista's drama group made a habit of having a good time while learning various techniques and becoming familiar with many plays and stories. Instructed by Mrs. Cremer, the stu- dents made ambitious strides this year and plunged into their work with obvious enthusiasm. In the fall, the class experiment- ed with pantomine. Naturally gay, the participants nearly de- stroyed the mood of serious scenes until they were rehearsed several times. One-act plays were next on the agenda. They seemed to fascinate many of the students. A plan all were de- termined to realize was to present a series of one-act plays be- fore an audience. Royalties and copyrights have presented a problem in the past. Performances for various commimity groups were given, such as church organizations and service clubs. Individuals as well as groups participated in this self-less activi- ty. Regardless of whether or not a certain play was to be used for public purposes, costumes were often hunted for and make-up pertinent to each part was applied. This eagerness and interest in drama was exhibited all year by the class, to the great delight of Mrs. Cremer. Melody Kraus has apparently broken loose from Mrs. Cremer. Here she vents her rage on a grinning and not particularly frightened Tauri Inness-Brown, and his attractive companion, Kathie Harper. Has Mr. Divine inspected that hemline?

Taking advantage of the class interruption, John Hnatek catches up on lost sleep. Other members of the class exhibit other interesting traits. Marsha Hooper keeps a wary eye on someone in the corner and Mary England smiles at the same. .S'PFAIrZ'R6' SHO PM SOMETHING Last summer, Mrs. Cremer called meetings at her lovely home for those interested in the speech team this year. She explained the areas of competition and gave the group the debate question to ponder. She also warned about the time to be spent poring over Newsweek, U. S. News and World Report, and Time each week, in addition to articles found elsewhere which might have a bearing on current is- ues and events. In spite of the dire word work, Mrs. Cremer found herself with perhaps too many ambitious speech makers prepared to go into almost any field required of them. The areas of extemporaneous, impromptu, original oratory, and oratorical interpretation always held a sufficient number of students' interest. Only debate made participants re- luctant, possibly because of the difficult and not expecially well-lmown or discussed topic concerning labor. The Mon- archs always placed several students in at least semi-finals and the team won many trophies and certificates. Reginiat Bryan contributed extensively to the trophy collection. Gathered smiling and scowling around an alert Mrs. Cremer are Danny Jeffers, Alice Oberlies, Andy Lovstead, Tom Vieling, Bruce Masse, Larry Le Blanc, Charlotte Clark, John Hnatek, Cathie Panter, Ron Bayless, Linda Nerthling, Jim Cremer fno relation to his teacher-J, Mike McMeeken Liz Scola, and Rina Vander Wielen. These students and several more participated in the numerous nerve-racking tournments held during the year
