Creative Minds, Bodies Equals Drama Success Under the expert direction of Mr. lohn Adams, and the valuable assistance of Alumni T.A. Ted Adams, the Drama Department sought to broaden its horizons and reach new goals. For the first time the Department tried a new form, the reader's theater, and enjoyed success with it. Another first for drama was their trip to San Diego State to perform in front of other readers. Everyone agreed that the Mount Miguel Dept. was the best representation there. The major productions in drama this year were Kaleid- oscope, Harvey, and, with the help of Ted Adams, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Mount Miguel's first musical comedy since South Pacific in 1962. !TopJ Veta Louise Simmons iCathy Liljestrom- Right? introduces her daughter Myrtle Mae Simmons tMelissa Monce- Left? to sophisti- cated Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet tElaine Schmidt- Centeri, Mbovei Carolyn Budd performs her dramatic interpratation of The Effect of Cam- ma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. lCenterJ Debbie Sanders, as the worm in Big Brag, tells the rabbit and bear that it is ridicu- lous to say, l'm better than you. lRightJ Elwood P.

Thespians Create Magic, Suspense, Reality Thespians are part of a national organization for high school students that perform in drama and is concerned with improving the performance and profession- alism of theatre on that level. Thespian headquarters are in Ohio and they help Mt. Miguel's club by giving scripts, reducing royalties, and sending materials concerning theatre, lighting instructions, producing a play, selection of plays, etc. 100 hours of extra-curricular work dealing with drama is the minimum requirement that must be met before becoming a member of the club. Thespian's president was Melody O'Dell, vice-pres- ident was Rosalyn Saputo, secretary was Debbie Recchia, and historian was Cathy Lil- jestrom. Putting on drama productions for the school is the major activity of the club. Some of the extra work involved is ushering for various theatres in town, and in exchange for that service, they are allowed to watch the plays. This provides an excellent oppor- tunity to compare themselves with professional performers. - ? gp ' '
