' Romeo and Juliet ' sets romantic mood; Pupils and parents viewed an all-student inter¬ pretation of “Romeo and Juliet” in April and May. Enactment of the play set the mood for freshmen who studied this Shakespearean work. English II teachers required classes to see the play. “Woodland Christmas,” performed before the Yule- tide vacation, depicted animals’ view of Christmas. The characters befriended Hans Brinker, who helped them stage a holiday in their forest. Actors gave special presentations of Woodland Christmas” for grade school pupils and freshmen. On February 3, 4, and 5, the drama department pre¬ sented “Rags to Riches,” a story of Ragged Dick battling the evil Mother Watson. Happily ending, Dick finally obtained wealth and found a home for his friend, another young orphan. “Oliver!”, the musical held over from last year, returned to the Top Hat Theater stage on November 8, 9, 16, and 17. Cast parts and stage positions were opened to the Civic Theater to compensate for the lack of interest within the school. WITH THOUGHTS HIGH IN THE SKY, sophomore Sharon Bar- doczi and junior Stacy Lovin perform in the Top Hat Theatre presentation of Woodland Christmas.” STRUGGLING TO GET AWAY, Mother Watson (Debby Hiers) fights when Ragged Dick (Norm Ringler) captures her.
