Lynn Aho, Drama Club president, offered her help with or- ganizing and directing Drama Club productions. The club members worked diligently on sets, lighting, and most of all performing. All students interested in joining the club were invited to attend after school meetings and were encour- aged to try out for the various plays. Monthly workshops were held to teach beginning and even advanced actors and actresses the fundamentals of acting. Band and Choir members worked closely with the dramatic organization providing musical and vocal accompaniment. Drama Club President, Lynn Aho, takes a minute to rest after a long rehearsal.

What is good journalism? All one has to do is ask any member of the 1979-80 OBSERVER staff. It takes hard work, dedication, and most of all time to produce Western Re- serve's only periodical, but the re- sults are well worth the effort. Un- der the supervision of Mrs. Suzanne Fowley, the staff worked to keep Reserve's student body well-in- formed and entertained. This year, the OBSERVER staff de- cided to add some new features. New features add spark Photo Opinion , which was one of the most innovative features, com- bined photography with an opin- ionated question. A continuing serial, The Edge of Expulsion, provided the OBSERVER'S light hu- mor while the editorial discussed more serious matters of concern to the student body. The sports section also saw some innovation. Athlete of the Month spotlighted Reserve's top athletes. The OBSERVER strove to make the publication a more professional looking paper. Each issue was sent to Hartco Printing, a professional printer located near Columbus, so that the type and photographs were letter perfect. Although the NEW YORK TIMES or the WASHING- TON POST do not yet consider the OBSERVER fair competition, it has managed to give the WARREN TRIBUNE CHRONICLE a slight scare! Senior Don Mathews provided excellent artwork for the Observer this year. Debbie Miner, Loretta Salman, and Iill Marini carefully proofread for spelling and grammatical errors. Ted Kazaglis places a Valentine wish in the February issue as Iill Marini waits patiently. Observer!55
