which way fo Broadway '? For all those aspiring actresses search- ing for a stage, the Drama Club provided them with an opportunity to practice their craft. Early in September tryouts were held for anyone who wished to join the club. Once all new members had been chosen the first few meetings in the fall consisted of doing exercises to improve expression voice and actions. In November however the young thespi- ans began working on their first production of the 1988 school year: a Christmas musi- cal. Moderator-director Michele Buonocore had chosen to do A Threepenny Christ- mas especially to suit this year s member- ship. Many of the girls m the club had ex- cellent singing voices, and their director capitalized on the talent. Combining all their voices into one musical required hours of rehearsals. Members not only stayed after school during the week, but also came in on Satur- day and Sunday mornings to perfect each scene. Slowly but surely, girls went from missing cues and siging out of rhythm to running through smooth dialogue and wit- ty repertoire. After weeks of work everyone was ready for their debut which was put on for the parents and faculty on Monday night De- cember 14. The actresses enthusiastically delighted a responsive audience. This pre- pared them even more for their next perfor- mance held the following day. This time the Drama Club showed their classmates what acting and Christmas were really all about. They performed A Threepenny Christmas during a special Christmas as- sembly for the student body.

But for those who wanted to concentrate only on the cul- ture and not the often difficult and de- manding language there was another op- These organizations were open to any student who wished to join and ws able to attend the monthly meetings. Studying any of the three languages French Spanish and Latin on which the various clubs were based was not a requirement for member- ship. Therefore those interested had the chance to view more than one culture by simply joining more than one club. The activities in which many members were able to participate varied from singing French Christmas carols to a Spanish Christmas party with Notre Dame to a wine and cheese-tasting party. Food- sampling was a common event. The Span- ish Club for example ate dinner at a local Spanish restaurant. These and other activities provided a several foreign countries. By getting such a view members of the language clubs were able to feel what it was like to truly exper- ience a foreign culture.
