Wfeaeh Me How to ry gave On April 23 and 24 the Junior Class presented a very dramatic play entitled, Teach Me How to Cry. It was the story of a teenager, Melinda Grant, who yearned for young companionship and personal identity. This identity she seeks in the role of Juliet in a school production of Romeo and Juliet. She meets Will Hen- derson, who is also insecure and sensitive to rejection. Their love story is very similar to that of Romeo and Juliet. Will becomes involved in a fight, and is pun- ished by banishment from school. Although XVill's parents decide to leave town, Melinda and Will begin to plan their future together, for, unlike the classic lovers, they see their answer in life instead of death. The cast was as follows: Melinda Grant, Patti Du- Boisg NX'ill Henderson, Dave Wilson, Mrs. Grant, Judy Knappg Mr. Henderson, Bob Hartmang Mrs. Henderson, Shirley Henderson, Miss Robson, Lela Greathouseg Polly, Judy Vernong Bruce, Bill Slonakerg Ann, Sue Copleng Eleanor, Dorothy Morrison. outlet to dramatic talent . . .
