Wacko Discovers Chicken Power Captain C (Tim Dibble) skateboarded around the gym to begin the opening procession for the 8th Annual Wacko Decathlon. This year ' s events included the Leggs-Eggs Race, the 3-Legged Race, the Graveyard Relay, the Spider Board Relay, the Knox Blocks Eating, the Piggy Back Race, and the Tug-of-War. Spirited Sophomores, under Captain John Lewis, won with 65 points. The Spirit and Sportsmanship Award was also carried away by a plucky chicken, Travis Ryan ' s Ju- nior Class came in second place with 55 points. Under the leadership of Chris Canterbury, the Seniors with 53 points came in 3rd place, but placed first in the Tug-of-War. The Freshmen, led by Tami Brown, came in 4th place with 45 points. The last place winners were the faculty with 33 points. I think this was the best Wacko we ' ve ever had and the most competitive one, too, commented Mr. Andy Kirk, who sponsored Wacko and Hub Club. Susan Crosby (Hub Club President), Shane Ryan (Chief Judge), Christie Richardson (Chief Clerk), Scott Seitz and Sharry Hignst (led Team Judges), Susan Lane (tallied scores), Linda Bennett (presented scores), Darline Thom- son (ribbons), Lita Comeaux (opening and closing ceremo- nies), J.R.

Actors And Techies Create Play The first week in October, actors and technicians gath- ered to receive assignments and audition before a new director, Mrs. Jenny Gillman. The play, Charlie ' s Aunt , was a three act comedy with ten characters. With little funding, the late 19th century costumes and set were created in an authentic manner through the inge- nuity of the director and several student designers and technicians. These included: Melanie Hiett, assistant di- rector; Lela Fowler, state manager; Katherine Hicks, as- sistant stage manager; Paul Sturgeon, lighting designer and technician; Sharry Hignst, lighting techincian and costumes; Jake Bender, sound technician; Lisa Orr, cos- tumes and house manager; Hanna Kinney, costume mis- tress; Lona Fowler, properties manager; Dan Niell, set designer; Scott DeLapp and Todd Heuston, flymen and carpenters; and Ann Shapiro of Carrissa ' s Beauty Salon, hair stylist. Large audiences attended performances for, as one viewer put it, a family show filled with laughs . The play was hilarious, yet simple, something all ages could enjoy. Both the actors and techies did a great job, con- cluded assistant director, Melanie Hiett. TOP RIGHT: Touching up his makeup, Kyle Reynolds creates a new self- image.
