drama teachers Mr. Leo Williams
and Mr. Francisco Padura, two
different plays were produced
during the school year. The
thespian troupe, along with the
actresses from other schools,
put together one play in the first
semester and a musical in the

school, but also for the general
public who appreciated the fine
