Mirth, Mischief and Mayhem £ he lonely, forlorn stage came to life as props, lighting equipment and actors and actresses began to fill its presence. The endless number of practices and rehearsals payed off for the Drama Club on the nights of November 22 and 23, when they performed “Mirth, Mischief and Mayhem”. With the help of the production staff, patrons, faculty, and staff, the four one — act plays were a great success. Ranging from a drama to a comedy, the one — acts: Final Placement, She Was A Lazy Witch, Nobody Sleeps, and Impromptu; were dramatized by several Thespian Troupe members and many newcomers to the world of theater. Fifteen actors and actresses performed in the production. During the week preceeding the presentation of the show, various advertising techniques were used to attract students to see the plays. O-e day some Drama Club members sprayed their hair blue and on another day yellow ribbons were worn by all drama participants. The day before opening night, tickets were even sold on sale to gather more people. A large amount of the student body as well as parents did attend the plays and everyone had a good time viewing them. play 15

■■■■■■■Hi L Holiday Cheer E espite a cold, bleak, cloudy morn¬ ing, many people turned out to watch the Screaming Eagle band and varsity cheerleaders perform in the annual Manassas City Christmas Parade. On December 7, the festivities began in the early a.m. with the procession of many clowns wandering through the streets promoting laughter. They were fol¬ lowed by many different, original floats contributed and designed by area organi¬ zations. Providing music for viewers to sing along with, many bands, including our own, pumped out various Christmas tunes to encourage cheer; further cheer was provoked by the varsity cheer¬ leaders. Although the weather was not as wonderful and cheery as it could have been, the holiday spirit remained alive in all spectators until the finale — the Santa Claus float — made its way through the streets to end this annual event. The Screaming Eagle Band provided Christmas music to the delight of the crowd. Mayor Edgar E. Rohr rides in one of his many antique cars. In keeping with tradition, this clown leads the Christ¬ mas parade and starts the festivities off. nara Ho 1 7
