Departm nt add variety to year Although the overcrowding of Tokay has caused problems for curriculum areas, the Performing Arts Department was able to continue its normal activities and progress in social and theatrical arts. A definite improvement this year was the camaraderie bet- ween all areas in performing arts, said Royce Tevis, per- forming arts chairperson. We were working as a unit instead of different parts of performing arts. According to Mr. Tevis, per- formances by THSPA lTokay High School Performing Arts were directed so that all areas participated. This made events run smoothly and there would always be something happening on stage during the performanc- es. Never having been performed 100 6 west of the Mississippi, the THSPA was the first high school to present the musical, lVlerrily We Roll Along. This West Coast high school premeire featured all areas of THSPA. The addition of Pamela Kazar, dance teacher, to the THSPA, gave it more variety in perfor- mances and a wider choice for students. Having a dance class and teacher was not common and we were lucky to have one in our department, said Mr. Tevis. There were two levels of dance in which a student could enroll, Dance l and Dance ll. ln these classes, Mrs. Kazar taught stu- dents a variety of dances. These included jazz and modern, ballet, and tap dancing. The dance class performed 5, 6, 7, and -, which was a dancing recital. by Luis DeAnda a Cassie Reutlinger Royce Tevis 1.
