Strangers In The Halls The blueprints for a day of fun were translated in the “spirit” of the day by the students who inhabited the halls on October 31. The day be- gan as many students prepared for school. What was so abnormal about that, you ask? It was not the simple act of preparation, but the materials used by the students on Halloween that proved to be un- usual. Instead of blush and co- logne or sweaters and jeans, many of the students used paint and glitter, rags and wigs to assume their new identities for Hallow- een. Many of the clubs dressed in similar costumes such as the toga- wearing Latin Club, the beach bums from the Men Of Boone, the “ladies of the evening” represent- ing the Women of Boone, and the punk rockers of the Student Council. Several of the faculty members added to the “spirit” of the day as they took the opportunity to as- sume other identities. Classes did not know what to expect as bewil- dered students entered Miss Bren- da Veid’s room to be greeted by a horrible vampire, or discovered Miss Teresa Hargis dressed as a husky football player. Mr. Mike Sanders and Mr. Ralph Wallace were comfortable as beach bums, and Mrs. Akers’ room was occu- pied by a strange looking hobo. The day also saw the creation of a new character resembling the “nerd” version of Mr. Terry John- son. There was no question about it as students and teachers alike dressed for the occasion: Boone County was a livelier place on Halloween. That blueprint for fun was drawn with a lot of creativity and “spirit”! 20 Halloween

Audience Comes Alive Imagine going to a play and when the curtain opens, you find yourself dead! This was true of Boone County’s version of Jerome McDough’s play “Limbo”. This play included the audience and placed them in a graveyard! It addressed that age- old question about the here-after. The characters were shown going about their everyday lives, when suddenly, they found themselves in a room with strangers. It was built around their efforts to ex- plain what had happened until fi- nally they realized that they were in Limbo — the area between life and death. This play was entered in North- ern Kentucky University’s one- act play competition between schools in the Kentucky High School Speech League. Directed by Mrs. Ginny Kohl, Boone Coun- ty performed well. Behind the scenes. Barb Butler and Roy Ot- tino prep managers, and Angie Wallingford, prompter, helped the play run smooth. The cast in- cluded 13 well-qualified actors and actresses. Hillary Dietz por- trayed Min, the bag lady. Denise Mills manager of a reality Com- pany, was portrayed by Melissa Weatherford. Mrs. Gail Brauning was played by Mary Coleman. Brice, a former entertainer, was played by Jeff Baker, Kara Bo- shears played Suzanne, an ambi- tious corporate wife. David Bleir portrayed Hal, a wife-motivated corporate being. Trenton, a sec- ond hand philosopher, was played by Joe Pawlak. Shad, a young criminal, was played by Richard Eldridge. The cast also included a crew of grounds keepers pro- trayed by Jeane Lambers, Mike Hyslop, Emma Hyslop, Bill Fletcher and David Rose. I 22 One Act Play
