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?
