Drama 401 was offered as an English credit first, third, and fifth periods during the school year. But, according to Mr. James Wamble, the fifth period class excelled so much during the first semester that it turned into an Advanced Drama 445 credit at the beginning of the second se¬ mester. During the ' 85- ' 86 season, a night of drama was produced once a month. On two occas- sions the drama classes invented their own skits and competed against each other in the Skit- Off, The winners were selected according to the audience re¬ sponse. The remainder of the productions were presented by the second period adva nced squad which only had 30 days to perfect a new play, This year was the best year so far, said Mr. Wamble. The Ad¬ vanced Drama classes have been very productive and in turn put out high quality perfor¬ mances. At the present time, 100 stu¬ dents were enrolled in the dra¬ ma classes. Mr. Wamble credits this to the fact that students like to get up and perform in front of others. Not only that, everyone gets a chance to act whether they are good, bad, or medio¬ cre. Mr James Wamble, drama instructor, ad¬ vises, “If you ' re going to be o performer, be o bold performer

The original purpose of the se¬ lected art classes was to provide greater flexibility in scheduling and to provide different course numbers for the students en¬ rolled in the art program for more than one year. The selected artist program is much more student directed as the area(s) in which the student will work are selected by the stu¬ dent and approved by the in¬ structor. It is e ssentially student directed and an independent type program There is a tre- metTdous responsibility on the student to produce quality art work The work that is completed during the year (by any student) can be exhibited and entered in various art competitions. The most prestigious award is to have work accepted in the State Superintendent ' s Annuai High School Art Show, If the work is selected as a winner, it is awarded a $200 purchase prize and becomes a part of the per¬ manent collection. Other exhibits during the year are the Congressional Art Show, the Carnegie Center Art Show, the Southeastern Washington Fair, ond new this year, the Su¬ perintendent ' s Art Show (School District 140). It is an honor to have work selected to be en¬ tered into any of these shows, and even more so if the entry is selected as a winner.
