This year our Theatre Arts
class is performing their production of Mama Mia, the
musical which features songs
from ABBA. Everyday during
sixth period the class gets
together to practice their play.
Whether it’s acting, dancing,
singing or working backstage,
everybody has an important
role to fill. Mr. Mutch is the
teacher of the class and the
director of the play.
The play follows the story of
Sophie (played by Shannon
Klumpenhouwer), a young
bride-to-be who invites her 3
possible fathers (played by
Noah Corner, Robbie Hamilton and Phillip McAllister) to
her upcoming wedding and
Sophie’s mother Donna
(played by Laura Matchett)
has to deal with these 3 men
back in her life. Evan Curtis
and Dylan Hare are building
the set, Taylor Jardine is designing the set, Kachina Peter
-Paul is in charge of the
sound system and the lighting
is being looked after by myself. We are lucky to have
some new, state of the art
sound equipment and a new
light system is currently being
installed. There are many
other people in the class and
there simply isn’t enough
room to mention everybody.

Drama Fest by: Alexus Tozer
University of New Brunswick will be hosting the
annual Dramafest for High School students from
April 25th to the 28th . The Middle School presentations will be from April 30 to May 2. Our school
presents “Our Town” by Oscar Wilde on Friday
April 27th at the Ted Daigle Theater”. They have 60
minutes to present, and will be judged on their various categories. Supervising our cast and crew of 26
students will be Ms.Lavigne and Mr.Mutch.
During December the Drama Class raised funds to
be able to attend Dramafest. These funds are being
used to cover the cost of the registration fee and
of staying the night at the Saint Thomas Dorms.
This will allow the members to see other plays
and attend workshops. Students will also have
the opportunity to attend the dance on Friday
night, and the award ceremony the following
day.

Student Car of The Week by: Cody Stweart
Justin Hyland is a grade 12 student and the proud owner of his 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. This boat is equipped with a
454 Big Block V8 and 4-on-the-floor transmission. The 3.73 posi rear end light up both tires every time, no matter what. The
exhaust system consists of “true dual Purple Hornies on backwards (aka straight pipes)”. It has excellent gas mileage and it
only takes about $20 to drive to McDonalds and back (that’s worse than my truck).
He bought his car 2 years ago; he had it before he had his drivers permit. Justin says that you are allowed to smoke in his Caprice and that it has power everything. It currently has 199,000 KMs on it and he’s having a party as soon as it hits 200,000.
He says that’s it’s a great car because it’s loud and everybody hates it, but he claims that he looks good in it. The Caprice is
always seen full of Justin’s buddies.
The back seats of this Chevy have seen more blood than the streets of Compton and one time the rap star BNE went for a
drive in it. Out of the 4 door handles the car came with, only 2 still work, but that’s ok. Justin also asked me to mention that
Tommy is always welcome in his car but Cory isn’t.
