The following awards were given to given these recipients based on the number of points earned throughout the year (which is determined by how much the member has contributed to the Drama club):

Letter (45 points): Chase Phillips, Markus Schlotterbeck, Tara Churchill.

First comment made by the President: “The Hobbit is going to be a great show, and it has been lots of fun to direct with Chris. I am also honored to be elected president of the Drama club.”

Congrats to everyone! Also, this year’s senior show “The Worst High School Play Ever,” directed by Mrs. Amey Feeley, was performed on May 6-7 at CLT. News spread around the school that it was perhaps one of the funniest shows yet. Soon to come, the ELHS children’s play “The Hobbit” directed by juniors Markus Schlotterbeck and Chris Keene. The show will be performed in the ELHS Amphitheatre, and all elementary schools interested in viewing this show, please contact Penny Appleby at ELHS.
