Dramatitus sweeps CRSS
as club prepares stage play
By Michelle Whalen
Yes that's right folks! CHSS is suffering
from that fast spreading disease called -
DRAMATITUS. And it's all because of Mr.
Oliver who is head of the Drama Club here
at CRSS.
"How should I say this line, Mr. Oliver?"
"Should I be on stage or off?" "Let's go over
that scene agin." This is an example of what
goes on at a normal I ?) drama club rehear-
sal.
The phrase "The show must go on," cer-
taainly applies to the Drama Club
members. For the first few weeks, rehear-
sals are held after school, then in the even-
ings as well. Thus the members must give
up much of their free time as well as keep
their grades up. Their acting is consistent
throughout the rehearsals ignoring any
disturbances. They work well with each
other and with Mr. Oliver. He studies each
actor while they are reading their parts,
pointing out the little things that make all
the difference in the final performance.
Helpful suggestions are made to each other
not as personal criticism but to achieve the
best performance prossible.
As well as the hard work given by each
member is the fun and this combination
makes a successful drama club.
CHSS also has a Theatre Arts night course
also run by Mr. Oliver. This course is held
every Thursday night from 7 - 10. Now you
may think spending three hours with Mr.
Oliver is unbearable, but luckily he gives a
15 minute break to ease the pain a little.
The course lasts till about April and is
divided up into three terms. Mime is studied
first term, improvisation second term, then
an actual play is produced third term. A
Grade 11 credit is received from this course.
Since there are no written exams to account
for the students' marks, attendance is im-
portant. Each student is allowed to miss
three classes.
A usual night at the Theatre Arts course,
starts off with relaxation and memory exer-
cises, then the homework from the week
before is done in front of the class. This
gives the students a choice to get used to the
idea of working with an audience. Next a
new lesson is taught and homework is
assigned ( which is usually graded) to be
done by the next class.
The person who gives up most of his time
for drama is Mr. Oliver. Because of him and
his persuasive powers, CHSS is on the road
to having a very successful drama depart-
ment.
For an enjoyable display of the dramatic
abilities being developed at CHSS, come and
see the Dec. 15 performance of "Play On",
by the Drama Club, at 8 p.m. You will be
sure to enjoy this hilarious three -act com-
edy. Don't miss it!
Oktoberfest makes top 100
tourist attractions in Canada
The Kitchener -Waterloo Oktoberfest has
been selected as the top Canadian tourist at-
traction for 1984 by the American Bus
Association, it was announced recently.
This makes Oktoberfest the Canadian star
of the ABA's list of the Top 100 Events in
North America. It ranks with the 1984 New
Orleans World's Fair, which was listed as
the top U.S. event. Two other Ontario
events, the Festival of Spring in Ottawa and
Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition,
also made the list based on nominations by
state and provincial travel directors across
North America.
The Honorable Reuben C. Baetz, Minister
for Tourism and Recreation, commented,
"We're proud that an event which takes
place annually in Ontario and which
everyone knows about and loves should be
chosen for this honor from among all our
fine Canadian attractions."
"The fact that buses play such a vital role
in the tourism industry makes this distinc-
tion doubly prestigious. I want to con-
gratulate and thank both the people of
Kitchener -Waterloo for hosting this popular
event and the influential American Bus
Association for recognizing it."
Started in 1967 as a Centennial Project by
a local German Club, the K -W Oktoberfest is
now second only in size to the original
festival in Germany. It has bloomed into a
major event drawing more than 400,000
visitors from the U.S_ and Canada, bringing
some $12 million tourist dollars to the area
annually.
"We were quite pleased that Oktoberfest
made the ABA list last year, but now we are
thrilled to have been elected the number one
event in Canada in 1984," remarked Gunter
Jessat, second vice-president for
Oktoberfest. "Considering the competition
of other long-established festivals, we are
extremely happy that our once small
festival has grown into a major American
event."
The 1984 Kitchener -Waterloo Oktoberfest
takes place October 5-13.

Huron Go
receives '4r1
ntry Playhouse
exp , nsion
By Stephanie Levesque
Huron Country Playhouse at Grand Bend
is going to expand, thanks to a federal
government grant in the amount of ."i.i r ,000.
Lambton-Middlesex MP Ralph Ferguson
announced the approval of the grant at a
reception in Grand Bend on Dec. 10.
The grant will enable the playhouse to
construct a balcony in its main theatre. The
balcony will contain 105 new seats and will
enable the Huron Country Playhouse to
derive greater revenues from its theatrical
productions through larger audiences.
Playhouse general -manager Heather
Redick said the addition to the present 500 -
seat theatre will start as soon as the ar-
chitectural firm of Lett -Smith Architects of
Toronto have completed the drawings.
Mrs. Redick said she hopes construction
will be completed by the time the 1984
season starts in raid -June.
Calling the playhouse a "people factory",
ant
the general -manager said that besides the
85 person week of employment, provided
by the construction, long-term employment
will result. As an example she said more
ushers would be needed.
Mr. Ferguson noted that the Huron Coun-
try Playhouse is held as an example across
the country because it is one of a small
number of theatres operating in the black.
"The playhouse, with the addition of 105
new seats, has the potential to become self-
supporting because it will be able to sell
more tickets for its performances. I extend
my best wishes to Mrs. Redick and all those
associated with the playhouse for a very
successful project," said Mr. Ferguson.
The grant was made possible through new
job creation funding announced by the
Minister of Finance in his April 19 budget
and is part of the federal government's pro-
gram to create employment opportunities
for Canadians.

Dramatitus sweeps CRSS
as club prepares stage play
By Michelle Whalen
Yes that's right folks! CHSS is suffering
from that fast spreading disease called -
DRAMATITUS. And it's all because of Mr.
Oliver who is head of the Drama Club here
at CRSS.
"How should I say this line, Mr. Oliver?"
"Should I be on stage or off?" "Let's go over
that scene agin." This is an example of what
goes on at a normal I ?) drama club rehear-
sal.
The phrase "The show must go on," cer-
taainly applies to the Drama Club
members. For the first few weeks, rehear-
sals are held after school, then in the even-
ings as well. Thus the members must give
up much of their free time as well as keep
their grades up. Their acting is consistent
throughout the rehearsals ignoring any
disturbances. They work well with each
other and with Mr. Oliver. He studies each
actor while they are reading their parts,
pointing out the little things that make all
the difference in the final performance.
Helpful suggestions are made to each other
not as personal criticism but to achieve the
best performance prossible.
As well as the hard work given by each
member is the fun and this combination
makes a successful drama club.
CHSS also has a Theatre Arts night course
also run by Mr. Oliver. This course is held
every Thursday night from 7 - 10. Now you
may think spending three hours with Mr.
Oliver is unbearable, but luckily he gives a
15 minute break to ease the pain a little.
The course lasts till about April and is
divided up into three terms. Mime is studied
first term, improvisation second term, then
an actual play is produced third term. A
Grade 11 credit is received from this course.
Since there are no written exams to account
for the students' marks, attendance is im-
portant. Each student is allowed to miss
three classes.
A usual night at the Theatre Arts course,
starts off with relaxation and memory exer-
cises, then the homework from the week
before is done in front of the class. This
gives the students a choice to get used to the
idea of working with an audience. Next a
new lesson is taught and homework is
assigned ( which is usually graded) to be
done by the next class.
The person who gives up most of his time
for drama is Mr. Oliver. Because of him and
his persuasive powers, CHSS is on the road
to having a very successful drama depart-
ment.
For an enjoyable display of the dramatic
abilities being developed at CHSS, come and
see the Dec. 15 performance of "Play On",
by the Drama Club, at 8 p.m. You will be
sure to enjoy this hilarious three -act com-
edy. Don't miss it!
Oktoberfest makes top 100
tourist attractions in Canada
The Kitchener -Waterloo Oktoberfest has
been selected as the top Canadian tourist at-
traction for 1984 by the American Bus
Association, it was announced recently.
This makes Oktoberfest the Canadian star
of the ABA's list of the Top 100 Events in
North America. It ranks with the 1984 New
Orleans World's Fair, which was listed as
the top U.S. event. Two other Ontario
events, the Festival of Spring in Ottawa and
Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition,
also made the list based on nominations by
state and provincial travel directors across
North America.
The Honorable Reuben C. Baetz, Minister
for Tourism and Recreation, commented,
"We're proud that an event which takes
place annually in Ontario and which
everyone knows about and loves should be
chosen for this honor from among all our
fine Canadian attractions."
"The fact that buses play such a vital role
in the tourism industry makes this distinc-
tion doubly prestigious. I want to con-
gratulate and thank both the people of
Kitchener -Waterloo for hosting this popular
event and the influential American Bus
Association for recognizing it."

a local German Club, the K -W Oktoberfest is
now second only in size to the original
festival in Germany. It has bloomed into a
major event drawing more than 400,000
visitors from the U.S_ and Canada, bringing
some $12 million tourist dollars to the area
annually.
"We were quite pleased that Oktoberfest
made the ABA list last year, but now we are
thrilled to have been elected the number one
event in Canada in 1984," remarked Gunter
Jessat, second vice-president for
Oktoberfest. "Considering the competition
of other long-established festivals, we are
extremely happy that our once small
festival has grown into a major American
event."
The 1984 Kitchener -Waterloo Oktoberfest
takes place October 5-13.

Huron Go
receives '4r1
ntry Playhouse
exp , nsion
By Stephanie Levesque
Huron Country Playhouse at Grand Bend
is going to expand, thanks to a federal
government grant in the amount of ."i.i r ,000.
Lambton-Middlesex MP Ralph Ferguson
announced the approval of the grant at a
reception in Grand Bend on Dec. 10.
The grant will enable the playhouse to
construct a balcony in its main theatre. The
balcony will contain 105 new seats and will
enable the Huron Country Playhouse to
derive greater revenues from its theatrical
productions through larger audiences.
Playhouse general -manager Heather
Redick said the addition to the present 500 -
seat theatre will start as soon as the ar-
chitectural firm of Lett -Smith Architects of
Toronto have completed the drawings.
Mrs. Redick said she hopes construction
will be completed by the time the 1984
season starts in raid -June.
Calling the playhouse a "people factory",
ant
the general -manager said that besides the
85 person week of employment, provided
by the construction, long-term employment
will result. As an example she said more
ushers would be needed.
Mr. Ferguson noted that the Huron Coun-
try Playhouse is held as an example across
the country because it is one of a small
number of theatres operating in the black.
"The playhouse, with the addition of 105
new seats, has the potential to become self-
supporting because it will be able to sell
more tickets for its performances. I extend
my best wishes to Mrs. Redick and all those
associated with the playhouse for a very
successful project," said Mr. Ferguson.
The grant was made possible through new
job creation funding announced by the
Minister of Finance in his April 19 budget
and is part of the federal government's pro-
gram to create employment opportunities
for Canadians.
