Last night was the annual drama banquet at Harrison, and I probably wouldn't have written anything except something adorable did happen. We have two students who have been with us for three years (in the bast we've only had kids for two) that gave us hand crafted scupltures of the drama faces. Jesse Bell and Anna Zerby both put so much thought into this gift that I was touched, more so than usual. The back of the scultures have inscriptions, they read:
Mr. Caverly, you have been a father figure to us.
It has been an honor to work with you.
Ms. Shores, you have helped us through the toughest times,
without you the show would not go on.
The base of the scupltures are curved and fit together like a puzzle. Jesse announced to the audience that this was like putting Mr. Cavery's and Ms. Shores' talents together to work for drama. He also made the connection between tragedy and comedy and how the two are needed. I enjoyed watching him share his thoughts. There's nothing like a well thought out gift that of course have more than one meaning. I think this appealed to the Shakespearean fanatic in me, which would also fit the scenario. All in all, it was a good night.
