Dramaticats organize play for large cast The drama club put on a play for the first time since 1981, Because it lad been so long since there has been a school play, there vas a lot of pressure for the members of the cast to do a good job, according to Buddy Jackson. There were some hard times for them, tut they kept working at it and performed a play that was successful. It began when Tara Winward and Donna Niemi asked a few members of the faculty if they would support them in putting a drama club together. Mrs. Donna Fawcett said, We had a few organizational meetings, elected officers for the club, chose the name Dramaticats and picked exit a play. I asked Mrs. Helen Clinton if she would help because I knew that she was interested in theater. With Mr. Gary's help, we organized tryouts and got started on the p-uiy. There was such a large cast that it es difficult to get everyone together for rehearsals and work parties. There were times when we were a-fraid that we would never go on, tut we did and it turned out very well, well enough that we are excited about next year's drama club. Mr. Audet, the parents of the Dramaticats and their families. Liz Schafer made the design for the posters, pre-grams and tickets. Ihe ESD did the printing for a low price. Many of the students enjoyed the play and wruld like to see another one next year. Tara Winward said, I enjoyed my role in the play and I hope we will put on another one next year. Anna Koop said, Ttey should continue to put on plays. It was like we were the guinea pigs, so we had to do well and we did. It turned out really successful. we have a good cast next year that will work as hard this year' s did. -Steve Waterman The drama club received telp from the cccrnunity activities director, I ope that I ts Donna Breiticreutz, the teachers, U.-.iia Club 23
