Are there any former Red Dragons out there?
I am really proud of having been a Red Dragon. I was in the club from 1977 through 1981. I was the Reporter Historian in 79-80, and the Vice President in 80-81. I have some fond memories of my fellow Red Dragons. Smile

I helped hammer together some flats for "Dracula" in 1983 and attended a couple of cast parties, but can't claim to have ever been a Dragon. Quite a few have registered here, though -- maybe they'll chime in as the months pass...

That was a great set! I loved the idea of Dracula always being in the room even if he was off stage. I stuck with building sets and helping backstage - I found that I was physically ill if I was onstage Embarassed

!!!
I remember a really great Red Dragon party one year - it was a combination Valentine's Day and Friday the 13th red and black party.

Hey, I am a former Red Dragon! I remember Dracula well...although that was the show already in progress when I arrived at Austin High. My friend Mike Frisbie was Dracula....

I played Cindy Lu Who in The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and an ingenue in Charlie's Aunt...then it seems I remember doing the Importance of Being Earnest....What I mainly remember about Drama was the drama behind the scenes....what a GREAT time we all had!

My grandfather, Girard Kinney, was also a former Red Dragon Player back when the campus was on 12th Street!

An announcement from Mrs. Dragoo to Red Dragon alumni:

100 Years of Theatre

One of the things the Theatre Department is doing to celebrate our theatre heritage is refurbishing the theatre scrapbooks that have been in the AHS Archives. As you can imagine, the old scrapbooks are falling apart and are not acid free. We are trying to create an accurate record of every year theatre has been in existence at AHS. However, we do not have any photos of theatre productions many years. If you have any photos and would like to donate them to be put in an acid free scrapbook, please send them Mr. or Mrs. Dragoo in the AHS Theatre Department. We need photos and memorabilia on the following years: 1964-65, 1965-66, 1967-68, 1973-74, 1978-79, 1980-81, 1991-92, and 1992-93. We also need photos or programs from the years 1908-1940.

All scrapbooks will be on display at Dedication Day this year.

Mrs. and Mrs. Dragoo can be reach at 414-7311 or bdragoo@austinisd.org, adragoo@austinisd.org
