DRACULA: A BLOODCURDLING SUCCESS Lincoln High Drama Club presented the three-act play Dracula on April 28 and 29. Under the direction of Mrs. Neff and Mrs. Bennett, the cast put on three performances in front of full capacity audi- ences. The setting of the play takes place in Purley, England in the early 20th Century. Count Dracula moves to England from Transylvania because of so little oppor- tunity remaining in his native land. Dr. Van Helsing (Chris Knotts) is called to Dr. Seward's (Kevin Drake) resi- dence to attempt to aid Seward's daughter Lucy (jo Ann Peterson) who fell ill. Van Helsing realizes the cause of Lucy's lifeless- ness is the frequent visits of Dracula (Dave Boettcher) as a vampire at night. Through the aid of the supporting cast consisting of a madman named Renfield (Gary johnson), the fiance of Lucy named John Harker (Tom Hardzinski), a petite maid (Kathy Kemper), and a comical attendant (john Walasek), the drama had a touch of humor in it as well. The play concludes with the discovery of Dracula's last refuge, and Harker drives the oak stake into the vampire's heart. (ABOVE) Dr Van Helsing (Chris Knotts).

LHS CHOIR AND BAND Concerts are what the choir works for throughout the year. They held four major concerts consisting of a fall concert, Christ- mas concert. Spring Concert, and a Pop concert. Among the major concerts a few preview concerts were held to give the people in the community an idea of what the choir was doing in class and between concerts. Under the direction of Mrs. Bast the Swing Choir and Madrigal group also per- formed in the concerts. This gave the con- certs variety, as the groups sing a different type of music than the Concert Choir or the Girls Choir. Concerts were made a visible spec- tacle too with thehelpof the Art Club. They diligently decorated the gym for the choir performances.
