Stage or podium claim vocalists With crossed fingers and wishes of "break a leg", a rooky cast presented The Doctor in Spite of Himself November 12- 13. The director was David Horstmann. After weeks of practice, the time came for twentieth century students to transform them- selves into sixteenth century characters. As flares were out and knickers were in, costumes were borrowed from Concor- dia's drama department while Nanette Hagen and Janna Miller salvaged dresses from Central's costume room. During the performance, for- gotten lines were adlibbed by Doug and Scott who fooled the audience as well as their promp- ters. Behind the coaching skills of Gene Wilson, four of Central's debaters competed in Ada Feb- ruary 5 for third place in the region. Awaiting blunders and bumbles are David Horstmann and Assistant Cathy Eickhof.

English choices grow to 39 With thirty-nine offerings, the activities in English classes were as varied as the names of the courses. Finger painting, music listening, slide viewing, medi- tating, and discussing were normal happenings in lit courses while interviewing, researching, and writing trained budding writers. One diversion for several teachers and students was a one-day jaunt to the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis to see "The Taming of the Shrew." Reading teacher Sanna An- derson joined the staff at mid- year, relieving other staff mem- bers of extra tutoring assign- ments. Practice and precision bring the District 31 declamation title to Nancy Jensen, Delphine Johnson, and Barb Longtin in Extemp. Speaking, Original Oratory, and Storytelling. The team, aided by Marie Frieclerichs in Disucssion, claimed the title for the second consecutive year. Miss Sanna Anderson tutors Tony Bou- bin in a reading class. Any student who desires to improve reading compre- hension and speed meets course entry requirements. fy. ' rf 1 to-wifi' M... --.,, Q W., U. , .
