-Clubs Sharpen Speaking Skills hat are the characteristics that the Drama and De- bate Clubs have in common? They both require the courage and ability to stand in front of an audience and perform. This year, MBHS is attracting an assortment of talented young individuals to these clubs. Drama is , accord- ing to Sherry Wright, the director of their first pIay, literature that is performed, a visual art where the only instruments used are the body and voice. The Drama Club's adviser, Dennis Bailey, organized the club in hope of getting enough interest to eventually form a class, so that more students have a chance to expand their knowledge of the theater. The first play ofthe year was The Man Who Came To Dinner. The club found out how difficult it is to put together a play. Not only do sets need to be constructed, costumes made or rent- ed, lighting worked out, tickets printed, there are a thousand other details. Hours of rehearsals compete with homework, jobs, and sports for priority. Just when it appears that every- thing is under control there is the inevitable personality con- flict or the discovery that dress rehearsal is scheduled the same night as Bingo Night. lt is enough to make a director lose her sense of humor. Jane Tanner, the president of the club, is hoping that the support of the Drama Club will increase every time we do a play. Skills learned in Debate Club are similar to those learned in drama and can be helpful to the success of a student. lt gives practice articulating and helps keep ideas in an organized fash- ion to prepare for higher demands in college, said Bruce Badrigian, the adviser. The Debate Club had a lot of assistance in its first year. Mr. Bud Zeuschner, a debate professor at Cal Poly, contributed his wide range of experience and knowledge in the field of public speaking. This year bred an incredible variety of different clubs. Of those, the Drama and Debate Clubs gave the students a wide range of possibilities to expand their talents. 1 4 'V V4 V: ,,, 150 DramafDebate 'Bc- -i ' 'an- A

Its success as a fund raiser can be attributed to Mrs. Larsen, Mr. Behrmann, and the entire hard working French Club.
