One of their fund raising activities was a very successful pancake breakfast which helped them travel on a tour to Northern California. They traveled to Merced for the big band review. Competition was against sixty-four bands in which our band placed third. It was practice, practice, practice which resulted in very successful half-time shows at football games and in such successful parades.

'Reflections' . . A Iimlooy of One Acts The Drama department's first production of the year was a trilogy of one act plays. Skillfully directed by Mrs. Donna Smith, the three one acts met with substantial success each of the four nights of performance. The first presentation was To Burn a Witch by Richard Bray. This particular play centers on two young girls accused of being witches and sentenced to burn at the stake. The Lottery was derived from the story by Shirley Jackson and takes place in a small farming town where everyone depends on crops to survive. Once each year a human sacrifice is made to insure a good yield. The Lottery is the story of one such sacrifice. Rounding out the trilogy was The Bald Soprano , a comedy written by Eugene lonesco. One interpretation of the play seemed to be that it was a humorous comment on society. But whatever conclusion the audiences preferred to draw from the plays, each would agree that this winter's presentation was highly entertaining. Villagers appearing in The Lottery were: Diane Harrison, Deven Smith, Vickie Boswell, Michelle Puckett, Lynette Thomas, Barbara Palmer, Marsha Maples, Craig Scherer, Poul Nielsen, Debbie and Kathy Smith, Doreen Baird, Pansy Kemper, Ronnie Stillwell, Debbie Headley, Gene Russo, Debbie Sartwell, Gene Pugnier, and Ruth Villareal.
