Drama Plays New Role Drama students have partici- pated enthusiastically in three major plays ranging from ser- ious drama to musical comedy, as U-Hi's Drama department has taken on a new role! Besides school performances, individuals competed through- out the year in area college speech conferences winning several awards in Oral Inter- pretation, and other individual participation events. Class activities range from developing expertise in mime and character acting to make- up and technical stage pro- duction. Mrs. Laurie Crowley, new Drama instructor, feels that students participating in dramatic activities develop a more confident self-image, re- fine their creative imaginations and generally have a better outlook on life after leaving her classes. 1 Above left: lt may look like nap time but it's reallya breathing exercise for Drama.

Dance Profits Benefit Activities University Titans danced through two evenings of money making and good times in the '78 social season. Both the fall Sadie Hawkins Dance and the mid-winter Sweetheart Ball were benefit dances well supported by the student body. The Sadie filled the student cafeteria with a variety of strangely-clad individuals fulfilling the L'il Abner tradition of the girl gets her man. Sponsored by the Mercury staff, the dance earned over S900 for the publication of the school newspaper during the '78 season. The League of Kronos organized the Feb. 18 Sweetheart Ball and profits from that dance benefited the spring Senior Mother's Tea. Voyage provided music for the evening and six students were randomly selected for royalty. tmmm gram: Top above: Wilma and Fred Flintstone tGreg Jeffreys and Kim Bobbettj made a guest appearance at the Sadie Hawkins and walked away with the best costume prize.
