Take a walk outside of the Wagner Room and a painted tribute to the Class of 2009 seems to pop out of the otherwise bare tiles. Or, if you attend next week’s NCHS winter musical, Edwin Drood, immense portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of England hanging on the stage may catch your eye…

Reporter

This year’s winter musical, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, will be the first NCHS production in which the actors literally take to the air.

Though it lasts only briefly, a few members of the cast will be hoisted into the air by a system of pulleys, which are manned by a troop of athletic students recruited especially for the purpose. The scene is played out with graceful somersaults and a lot of effort by the crew pulling the ropes…
