for would-be actors Eager, stage-struck students and interested, tireless teachers added up to a Drama Club with lots of action this year. The group organ- ized in the fall and got right underway with a play for the holidays, Setting Santa Straight. Under the direction of their sponsors, Mrs. Susan Poole and Mr. Dave Reschke, the cast shared their play with children oi the Fairlawn Center at Pontiac State Hospital, who loved the performance.
