York, THE UVIKINGSH This year's team effort wasn't the most successful, but the boys played hard. Due to the inexperience of the team and the stiff competition of the rest of the county, the Vikings had a hard time. We will be losing only two players this year. With the rest of the boys, who are just about equal in experience and ball handling, we should prove to be stiff competition during next year's season. Mr. Jabar found in the first part of the season a slow moving club in both offense and defense. He proceeded to build a fast club to keep up with the other schools. This took time and we lost many games by just a few vital points. - We wish to thank Mr. Jabar, our fine coach, for his hard work and patience with us this year. He taught them many needed fundamentals and tricks of basketball. G. Pattershall.

HIGH SCHOOL LITERATURE DRAMA At this time of year, after midyear's are over and everyone has received either the good or the blad news, almost everyone, espe- cially high school students who are interested in drama, turn their interests to the pre- paring of the one-act. plays which will repre- sent their school in various contests, state and local. Whether -a play is to be entered in a state or local contest or put on simply for enter- tainment, it takes much work by both the cast and the director to produce it as it is meant to be produced. It also depends upon which degree of drama the play falls in. Maybe we should first find out what best defines drama itself. Drama is a form of expression which depends largely upon com- munication from the author or playwright to an audience through the actors and actresses. Drama generally takes the form o-f a theatre performance. But it can easily be transferred to the motion picture screen, to the radio through broadcasting, to a home television, or to a printed page. A drama is a story told in such a way that it must be acted out by living players to obtain its full effect. It is the most sophisti- cated and the most simple way of recording human endeavor or efforts. Its purpose is both to entertain and to instr.uct. The drama is said to have been brought into existence by the priests and poets of the ancient world. Since its beginning it has had an important social function and influence. Many things have changed because of the implications of the drama. As I said before, the tasks of putting on a pl-ay also depend upon the degree of drama in which the particular play falls. There are two main types of drama: t.ragedy and comedy. Tragedy was the ea.rliest form of drama. It showed the gods and the heroes in a series of unhappy events, usually ending in dis- aster. It can be as classic and scholarly as a person cares to make it. Comedy is a play which refiects life and humanity either humorously or seriously, but which end-s without disaster or death. It may be what is called high comedy, which has a fine characterization and witty dialogueg or it may be low comedy, which uses absurd situations and characters from low life. There is also farce which is the kind of comedy which draws its humor from impos- sible situations and ridiculous characters. Then there is also satire which was de- veloped early along with the tragedy and comedy. It is usually either a happy or a bit- ter comment on life. As you can see by the many things in- volved in the simple word drama, one must work hard to portray the type of character that is to be portrayed. Also one has to be able to set oneself in the mood of the play and also the type of drama it is. Drama is the expression of some particu- lar thing and thus it must be expressed in its own special way in order to convey its meaning to the audience. BONITA MURRAY '60 THE WATERFRONT KILL The scene takes place on a lonely deserted waterfront on the Blood Vein Sea. A man slowly walks along the rundown wharf. The man has on a gray raincoat with the collar turned up. His felt hat is turned down cov- ering most of his face. The man stops fre- quently, looking back to see if anyone is fol- lowing him. It was dreary as a heavy fog was quickly settling over the bay. A slight drizzle of rain was falling. Fog horns of the nearby boats were blowing, sending a chill up the man's back. If you were close enough you could hear the man saying to himself, She forced me to do itg she forced me to do it. Then the man suddenly stopped and opened a door leading into a dark building, and then turned on a light. He reached into his pocket and drew out a large knife to clean the fish which his wife had sent him down to clean. JAMES ENGSTROM '61 THE 1959 CARS I love the style of the new 1959 cars, espe- cially the General Motors products, which include Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac, and a few sports cars. All these cars have the new swept-wing look, which makes a person fall completely in love with them at first sight. I'll start with the front of the car and work to the rear. First., a person will notice the four head- lights which are a very good safety feature. If, at night, the driver forgets to dim his lights he may find he has either blinded the other driver or made him think there were two cars coming side by side. The safety feature is that a person can see further at night.
