Tracy Peppard, Adam Cop- polo, Tim Ebert, and Jonnie Thomas started off the year really great with the production of Plaza Suite. The perfor- mance was conducted throughout the day as the students were allowed to see it during their English classes. Later in the year, student directed plays were performed during study halls. Three of the one act plays were produced by the beginning drama class and two by the advanced students. The following students also participated in U.I.L. competi- tion, Tracy Peppard, Kellie Pate, Gilbert Melott, Cecilia Bates, Kyle Ingrum, Donna Jackson, and Lynn Tarhalla. 15 Tracie Peppard shows her talent by pulling Adam Coppolo back into the room in the play, Plaza Suite. 25 With dark lights, Gilbert Melott sits upon the stage rehearsing his lines for the upcom- ing play. 35 In the play, If a Man Answers, Gilbert Melott demonstrates frustration to Donna Jackson by turn- ing his back as Toni Williams and Tim Harrison watch. 45 1981 Drama Club.
