Surrounded, confined, trapped within a night full with comedy and drama . . . the scene set before you was A Stage Full 0 Plays This year's fall play was unique to past productions. Each scene or act derived from that play was directed by students to give them enrichment in the theatrical arts by learning directing techniques. lt's un- precedented feature was the fact that the sets were built around the audience instead of the audience around the sets. The sets, constructed by the Stagecraft Class, were around the stage, the au- dience sat in the middle, sur- rounded by the six sets. This was a challenge for the Ad- vanced Acting class, for in- stead of looking down at the audience while performing, Barry Winfield searches for the perfect words to ask Inge Holbrook for tolerance in A Marriage Proposal. Teresa Aiello looks wistfully for answers in The Ugly Duckling. they were at their level. Nevertheless the production was a success with good at- tendance and a full house during the two days of performance. Unlike past fall produc- tions, this was performed solely by the Advanced Ac- ting class. This was due to Mr. Cross's hectic and heavy schedule. Besides teaching Advanced Acting Class, he also conducted Marching Band, thus leaving no time to practice with beginners. The plays featured were: Blythe Spirit, directed by Heather Carnduff, Marriage Proposal by Cherie Aumor, Hello Out There by Rick Felix, Romantic Comedy by jon R. Kicker, The Ugly Duckling by Teresa Aiello, and Vanities by Shari Lind. Regarding the performance made by his students, Mr. Cross commented, I was surprised that they did so well for the fact that they did not use rehearsal time the way that they should have. Obvious from the high at- tendance to this fall produc- tion, the people who went enjoyed it, and hoped that this would continue for many years to come - Dina Duran and Ria Popick ic 'l l 8 i A Stage Full of Plays 3 Mike Russo accepts a on his attire in Romantic Comedy Lourdes Rosado stares off stage towards Mike Russo in fury.

The 1987-1988 Miss Pirateer and Mr. Uglyman was not only a satisfying dance but was a. . . Smashing Success!! Pittsburg High School pro- udly presented their second annual Miss Pirateer and Mr. Uglyman Dance held on Fri- day, December 11, 1987, from 8 p.m. to 12 p.m. This year was so successful, their theme, lt just Gets Better With Time, was appropriate for the dance. Also was their song, We've Only just Begun, with colors of emerald, silver, and black. This was the first year the dance committee decorated the cafeteria beautifully with streamers of the dance colors hanging from the disco lights and then spreading towards the walls. The center pieces were creative with five cham- pagne glasses filled with can- dy Kisses and streamers. In addition, three balloons were tied to the middle cham- pagne glass which lifted the creativity of the center pieces with glitter. To top it off, the entrance of the dance had balloons in an up side-down U shape. I feel that the dance com- mittee's full participation and enthusiasm made this year's Miss Pirateer and Mr. Uglyman dance the most suc- cessful school dance ever! It was truly a night to remember!! said Rica Darling-Pimentel, Assistant Dance Commissioner. What made the dance more successful was the at- tendance of approximately 300 students and their guests. Also, the continuous up beat music by 3-Dimensial Sounds. With nearly 300 people in attendance, the 1987-1988 Pirateer and Uglyman was the first student body dance that illustrated the spirit of Pittsburg High in a long time, commented Gabe Sanderson, Dance Commissioner.
