There is little disagreement that Sanderson has always had more than its share of talented students. In particular, both the drama and music departments have been repeatedly acclaimed for their efforts despite various problems they have been forced to cope with. These problems, however, do not ex- clusively concern such ordinary dilemmas as the lack of partic- ipation, a screeching soprano or clarinet, or an uninspiring actress. The biggest problems can be traced to the lack of proper facilities. What would a drama perform- ance be like if the actors were allowed to rehearse on a stage instead of being forced into the halls by a girl's gymnastics meet? If Tennessee Williams were not instantly transformed to Edgar Rice Burroughs by a jungle of parallel bars and balance beams? If the per- formers did not have to raise their voices to the decibel level of a sonic boom to be heard? If the dressing room didn't resemble a tinker toy contraption of elbows and legs, whose owners are involved in a frantic Search for props? Will Sanderson ever witness the quality of musical perform- ance where performers aren't constantly treated to rever- berations of notes they had sung or played. 31
