Junior Sophia Federici, freshman Elise Breitzmann and senior Andrew Svatora rehearse the 10-minute play “EVE” for New Stages 44 in the large auditorium April 7. New Stages is the high school’s annual student playwriting festival. “EVE,” by senior Harlan Sadowsky, is directed by senior Isabel Siegel and sophomore Jaryn Marcus. Svatora, who plays the character known as Trevor, said that he enjoys portraying a different personality. “I like that it’s something I wouldn’t be in real life,” said Svatora, “because that’s what acting is — it’s something you’re not. So it’s fun to do something out of the ordinary for me.” (Isabel Siegel)Model United Nations Club member Molly Milligan, a senior, collects ballots while RJ Lee, a sophomore, votes for next year’s leadership of the club in Room 222 April 7.
