When junior Chris Bires was asked what he thought the success of the levy passing was attributed to, he said, The students deserve a lot of the credit because I don't think it would have passed without their PPC The faculty encouraged all 18-year old students to get out and vote, and many did just that, including senior Greg Baumhauer. He said, If the levy didn't pass, it wouldn't have affected me, Dut my brother is still in the school system. Consequently, my vote was 'yes'! Students strongly supported the levy; however, most agreed that past failures were because of the elderly people, the parents with kids in pri- vate schools, and the adults without kids. Junior Patty Hoenes comment- ed, These people should support the levy because their voting for tneir future. What's more important, mon- ey or helping people grow? To increase community support for the levy, a rally was held at the foot- ball stadium on Sunday, November 1. Students of all ages, along with the band, marched from the Middle School and Westerly. Many also helped to paint faces of the younger pupils. To end the assembly, a fac- ulty-organized card section spelled out Kids count on us!-Vote yes! Although the levy finally passed. Bay High School has had to make some critical changes. Five and one half teachers were released at the end of last year as a result of the past failures. If it had not passed, this number would have no doubt in- creased.

ESTERN RAMA The Face on the Barroom Floor This fall play, held on November 12, 13 and 14 provided a rare melo- drama for the high school. Senior Tim Askin and Robbie Killius com- bined as the leads in the heart- rending tale of a broken-hearted art- ist, played by senior Rob Janik, who lost his girl. Robbie commented, A variety of actors and actresses were involved in the production, though the cast was small. Everyone was really cooperative and worked well together. Between my A.P. English project, my out-of-town critic being in the audience, getting very sick that week, and nervousness, 1 was all set to star in my senior fall play. And, as things turned out, it was a perfor- mance and experience that I am re- ally pretty happy with, said Tim Askin. The 1800's Western setting lent it- self well to some of the slapstick hu- mor created by the other supporting characters. Senior Kathy Preslan re- marked, The Western set in a saloon with the actors' Southern accents gave the play more interesting. The minor roles played by junior Bill Horschke and senior Steve Wichman were rarely without a laugh as they stumbled about the stage. Steve was one of the best performers I've seen at the High School. He added a lot of laughs to the performance, commented senior Christy Buchta. At the climax of the play, follow- ing a dramatic fight upon the stage, true love triumphed and the bad guy finished last. Considered s -r - r
