’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.

Soon after its opening, it was admitted to the Southern Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools. It was thor- oughly evaluated in March, 1957, and re- ceived a certificate of accreditation from the State Department of Education which it has kept ever since. In its five year history, Park View has become a strong force in the community. Park View High School is the location for the production of DRAMA ' 62. In its corridors and rooms the actual drama takes place. If the walls could speak, they could tell of the part that Park View has played in the lives of hundreds of high school students. The story of the joys, sorrows, successes, and failures of five hundred eighty-one of these students forms the plot of DRAMA ' 62. This drama can best be appreciated by the students at Park View whose roles in this drama will aid them in greater roles in the theater of life. 4
