’62 i4J4j4J-U-lJ--LI-i Introduction Up goes the curtain! DRAMA 62, an original presentation, pro- duced by the school board, directed by the principal, advised technically by the faculty, and starring a cast of five hundred eighty-one students, is about to begin. Park View High School, located just outside South Hill, Virginia, is the setting for this absorbing drama. Shakespeare has said that the world is a stage and that each must play a part. Few people think of themselves as actors or actresses, but in reality, life itself is a drama. Great productions are merely ex- cerpts from life which capture the romance, heartbreak, and happiness of daily living. Similarly, P ar k Vi ew High School is a stage; each teacher, stu- dent, and person concerned with its maintenance plays his part in the unrehearsed episodes that develop as a result of the desire to learn and grow in a land of freedom. The plot of DRAMA 62 depicts the memorable activities which take place at Park View during the school year 1961-1962. As the story un- folds, the mood changes from mo- ments of serious study to interludes of happy festivity. Action, excite- ment, and suspense combine to pre- sent a drama so intriguing and com- plete that the memories of this school year will remain as fresh and close as the leaves of this book.
