Curious Expectations Throughout the year, many students did certain types of ' work for our community. The variety of work ranged from working with young children to making hospital patients a lit¬ tle bit more comfortable. Wendy Campbell, who vol¬ unteered at Waynesboro Com¬ munity Hospital said: “It is really a great feeling being able to help people and make them more comfortable.” John Howard with the Stu¬ arts Draft Fire Department said: “It is exciting saving people and trying to save their homes. I enjoy helping people in this way.” Traci Gabler, who was a coach for the Stuarts Draft Lit¬ tle League midget cheerlead¬ ing squad said: “It is an exper¬ ience; I enjoy it and have lots of fun.” Troy Elmore with the Stuarts Draft Rescue Squad said: “I enjoy helping people in their time of need.” Unexpectedly, there were many more students involved in the community than people realized. These students found one way to show their pride for their community whether it was in Stuarts Draft or Wayneboro.

Mrs. Chandler’s interest in drama stems from her college days when she helped pro¬ duce many plays. The major project for the drama this year was the play Time Out for Gin¬ ger written by Ronald Alex¬ ander. Mrs. Chandler chose the play because she was familiar with it and had once played the female lead, Agnes Carol. When considering who would get what part, Mrs. Chandler considered the person’s voice and stage presence. The cast consisted of ten characters with five male leads and five female leads. The club also worked on several one-act plays to im¬ prove their acting potential. The main purpose of the one- act play was to keep interest in drama alive and to give the students more experience in working with plays. Mrs. Chan¬ dler felt the drama program needed more support from the students and teachers. She also believed that with added subjects such as drama and speech classes that this could be achieved. by Gene Earhart Drama club 25
