Advised by Paul Holzworth and fronted by President Craig Byram, Vice-president Prasanta Reddy, and SecretaryfTreasurer Jim Dewispelaere, the troop presented a play, a musical, and two nights of One Acts. Drama Club members received their first experiences with stage work and lighting, along with acting, in their presentation of the all-school play, Teahouse of the August Moon. After the one-act performances came a joint 'Drama Club effort with the Vocal Music Department in the musical, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Tryingf' Hours of hard work were put into the preparation of each performance, however, members were able to relax and enjoy themselves as well, with the vari- ous diversions planned by the club. Several field trips were taken, including ones to local theaters and Chicago, and a spring trip to Minneapolis. All this, along with the picnics, parties, and Christmas dance, made for an entertaining year in Drama Club. And how did the members themselves feel about the club? Craig Byram seemed to speak for everyone when he recalled, This was the best opportunity for high- school students to explore drama. Yeah, I loved Dramaln added Mike King. The efforts put forth during school presentations, not to mention the get- togethers and theatrical excursions, en- abled the members of the NHS Drama Club to gain the knowledge they wanted to form friendships.

VY. Globetrotting: Meeting people from other coun- tries is an exciting, but an awkward experiencef' explained Linda Schoffs- tall. With advisor, Madelynne Lillybeck, club meetings were filled with slide shows, guest speakers, and travel discus- sions. Elin Kjetland from Norway and Anna Markelius from Sweden had the honor of being North high School's first foreign exchange students. They, too, were members of the International Club and showed other students the differ- ence between their Swedish and Norwe- gian cultures from the American culture. The International Club members had the chance to sign up to travel abroad in a type of 'gfirst come, first serve basis because of the popular demand on exchanges to European countries. A few North High students took advantage of this chance. In order for North to add an international flavor, it had to give stu- dents an opportunity to share lifestyles 11 aboard! of other cultures and educational systems which provide an opportunity for students to grow and experience the global community, stressed Lillybeck. There will forever be something to learn, and in the International Club, one can learn some of the better ideals on cultures, environment, and people. It's a nice club, and I think they do a good job in making people understand other cultures, stated Kjetland.
