drama courses Although the basic English, litera- ture, and composition courses have re- mained primarily the same this year, the North Central English Department has noticed an increased interest in the fields of dramatics and stagecraft, More emphasis on the techniques of these courses was stressed and a new course was launched. Scene design provided the individu- als who had already taken stagecraft or worked on stage crews to make use of the skills which they had learned. They studied how to handle problems faced in the presentation of dramatic productions, lighting effects, and cos- tume and property plots. Dramatics classes began by teaching the fundamentals of correct walking and learning pantomime expressions. After developing the speaking voice, students acted out cuttings from plays. The editorial staff for Etchings in Thought was Fiona Wright, Georgia Cravey, Mike Goldberg, Jay Ham, and Andrea Ayer. Selections in this booklet included poems, stories, and essays written by North Central students and screened by the English Department. Preparing for the fall play, members of the stage crew construct the necessary scenery. l Z Flipping through the pages of a reference book, Junior Steve Hartman makes use of the vast facilities which the North Central Instructional Materials Center offers to the student.
