Preparation, Extended Hours, Dedication: Skyhawk Players set the his year, school plays took on a new meaning. They became dramatic productions with special effects, upbeat choreography, and new, older Skyhawk Players. The Phantom of the Opera, the fall play, contained a special effects trick rarely used in high school productions. A stretched latex was used so that blood would burst out when the phantom scratched his face. Working on Phantom took a lot of work and time, but it was a great experience, senior Andy Hutchinson commented. One of the funniest plays this year was Cheaper By the Dozen. When students went to see it, they were surprised by some of the Skyhawk Players. No, it wasn't makeup, these Skyhawk Players weren't students! They were members of our faculty!! Mr. 8.

Mr. Wayne Kindall, Mrs. Mary Luckenbill, Mr. Cass Saverino, and Mrs. Nancy Van Pelt were the faculty members who contributed their time and talent to this comedy. Acting is something l've always enjoyed. l'm happy to see the faculty involved I'm happy to see the faculty involved in the school pIays. in the school plays. l hope that it is done again, Mr. Kindall stated. Besides the faculty members, there were several other non-student Skyhawk Players. One of these players was Millie Light-Orr. Millie, a fullbred German shepard, added comedy and realism to the play. Millie was trained by Mark Light-Orr, junior, and his mother. Tryouts for the spring musical, Fiddler on the Root were held Feb. 16 and 17. Crystal McCoy, senior, explains, Tryouts are very nerve-wrecking!! lt's a lot of stress and worry but when you see your name on the cast list, lt's worth it. l'm glad l decided to try out even if it means giving up other activities to be in the musical. School plays have come a long way. They are now sophisticated theater productions. Anne Gilbreth, played by senior Carey Goebel, argues with Miss Brill, played by Mrs. Van Pelt, over whether or not she cheated on a exam. it ulliil Theater Productions g 4
