THEATER STUDENTS NEED DONATIONS

To the Editor:

This fall, a group of more than 20 theater students from Morgantown
High School attended the State One Act Competition and won first
place. The students performed Jerome McDough's "Addict," an abstract
one act play that depicts the debilitating results of drug addiction
and encourages those with drug problems to seek professional help.
After winning the state competition, the young actors performed the
play for South Middle School and hope to perform it at other county
schools later in the spring.

Winning the competition was not a small accomplishment and people in
Morgantown should be proud of these energetic and talented students.

As a result of their victory, they have been invited to the National
Drama Competition for one act plays and a troupe of 27 will travel to
Mobile, Ala., on March 6 to compete with other talented students from
across the United States.

You personally can help them get there and share in the glow of
victory by aiding in financing the trip.

Since deposit money is needed for registration, bus and hotel,
contributions are needed as soon as possible.

Any contribution will help. Please send your tax-deductible
contribution to the MHS Foundation (memo line Drama) at P.O. Box 1431,
Morgantown, WV 26505.
