Drama ’62 Is ABLY DIRECTED Success, in every production, depends upon the guidance, training, and talent of its director and technical advisers. Only under the direction of these skilled personnel is the cast able to give atop notch performance. DRAMA ' 62 is very fortunate in having a most highly trained and capable director, Mr. Charles Henry Morgan. Mr. Morgan, known to most people as the principal of Park View High School, directs and organ- izes the intriguing activities and events which compose DRAMA ' 62. He is also re- sponsible for his cast of students which he strives to help in every way. Thirty faculty members compose the staff of well qualified technical advisors. Their job is to teach the cast of pupils val- uable and necessary facts which will form a general storehouse of knowledge necessary for the successful completion of DRAMA ' 62, and also necessary for any further attempts in other roles of life ' s production. 5

And our principal, and school. We will have a better band. To make our school more strongly stand. Park View High School, located three miles south of South Hill, Virginia, was built in 1955. 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
