c OMMUNIT F.T.G.: A Star Is Born by Dan Jackson and Jason O ' Malley HOW does the First Theater Guild of the First Presbyterian Church help many students at Seaholm High- School? It prepares them! Oddly enough, many of Seaholm ' s most prominent theatrical talents got their start in Knox Auditorium, F.T.G. ' s home. Senior Cheryl Tomblinson, who had the lead role of Golda in this year ' s production of Fiddler on the Roof, got her first smell of greasepaint and first heard the roar of the crowd when she appeared in F.T.G. ' s produc- tion of Oliver! in 1981. Speaking about her past experience in the group she commented, Community theater, especially F.T.G., was a wonderful first taste of the theater for me. The same goes for junior Ted Halbert who first appeared as the Artful Dodger in the same production of Oliver! Halbert later went on to modeling and several Seaholm produc- tions. Lynne Sherwood, The Actrics co- president said about her experience at F.T.G., It really helped me to gain a better understanding of theater, so I was a little ahead of the game when I came to Seaholm. Indeed she was, for she was one of the many F.T.G. kids who broke tradition when she earned a supporting role in Seaholm ' s Oklahoma! as a freshman. This year Sherwood had a principle role in Fiddler on the Roof as Yenta the Matchmaker. At age five ie. Dan Jackson displays his star quality in F.T.C- ' s production of Cheaper by the Dozen.

Oh, the agony of finding your locker, roaming the halls, and searching for classrooms. Whether just entering high school or coming from another school, everyone is in the same boat. The Seaholm counseling office provides assistants to students new to the school. Amy Trees, a student worker in the counseling office, commented, 1 feel if a teenager shows the new students around, they not only get the feel of the school, but they also make a friend. Out-of-class activities are also help- ing the new students adjust. These include such activities as pizza dinners and brunch at school, with the help of counselor Delores Morrow. It ' s great to get together with people who have experienced the fear of the new surroundings, said Stacie Fuller, recently new to Seaholm. At these meetings the students gain a chance to express emotions ranging from the most frightening thing about the first day to the meeting of a new best buddy. When asked to recall her most unpleasant experience, Stacie replied, It had to be eating lunch in an enormous cafeteria with tons of people you want to know but don ' t. Perhaps not all of these uncomfort- able feelings can be eliminated; neverthe- less, with the help of friendly student and staff veterans, most new students will find their adjustment to Seaholm life both smooth and pleasant. Transition from one school to another is never easy, but these fresh faces still know how to have a good time, posing here at one of their Friday night pizza pig-outs.
