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

♦♦ ATCHt t€ mm0 PIRIT Assemblies and Enthusiasm ty socc nighlie iHift The varsity soccer and football teams were highlighted in the fall sports pep assembly. Senior Eric Laurenson spoke on behalf of the soccer players and Mr. Kaiser and senior Mike Rekstis added a few words about football. The cheerleaders, Rockettes and Jr. Rockettes all performed to promote spirit for the upcoming Amherst soc- cer game ana Avon Lake football game. Senior Rockette Julie Escovar commented, The people that per- formed seemed excited about the as- sembly, but most of the other stu- dents, including the teams, could have cared less. The assembly really lacked enthu- siasm. Sophomore Megan Sisko felt, No one really gets into spirit for the teams, especially at an assembly. Volleyball co-captain Becky Snevel remarked, No one except tne team listens to the coaches so I thought it good idea to have students speak. I'm glad that the cheerleaders tried to recognize other teams be- sides football. Unfortunately, due to the lack of school spirit at the assembly, it was the only one held this year. In replace of assemblies, the cheer- leaders experimented with various way to get students psyched up for the teams. To promote spirit and at- tendance at atnletic events, the var- sity cheerleaders created colorful banners for the cafeteria. Junior cap- tain Sue Ule commented, We put them in the lunch room so the stu- dents and faculty would take notice of what's going on. We also tried to make them bright and interesting by attaching things such as a hockey jersey, a swimming cap and basket- ball nets. Summing up school spirit, senior captain Lynda Durrant added, Over the past four years that I've been involved in cheerleading, we've used many approaches to boost school spirit, but it's really difficult to get people motivated. ws a 26m . - MW Tt '' i hings Considered ool Spirit
