Taking a step back into time, West Valley celebrated its second annual Elizabethan Festival. With a little bit of paper and hard work, the commons area was transformed into the town square, where a variety of 17th century characters ranging from Maypole dancers and lepers to royalty figures including Queen Elizabeth and her court could be found. There were plenty of activities for the participants to be involved in such as singing, acting and fencing to name a few. One of the many highlights of the festival was a tribute to Shakespeare, performed by the A.P. English class. Another highlight performed to the delight of the audience was a skit done by several students in a Survey of Lit. Honors class from a scene in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Drama instructor Gene DeWild was also honored in a ceremony that topped off the THE ELIZABETHAN FESTIVAL PROVIDED AN EVENING OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY evening. He was first knighted by Queen Elizabeth, then Principal Rogers told Mr. DeWild that the school board had passed a resolution naming the Little Theater the Eugene W. DeWild Theater. The success of this year's festival was attributed not only to those who attended, but also to the large number of participants whose efforts proved to be priceless.
