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
