e are all 'Ordinary People' The senior play was a play to understand and en- joy. I felt it was a good way for me to end Tiger the- atre, said senior Robert Richardson. Ordinary People was chosen to end four years of theatre participation for eleven seniors. lt was a se- rious drama that dealt with family issues and modern concepts. lt depicted parents who were struggling with their eldest son's death and it told how they coped with their youngest son's attempted suicide. The lead senior cast members were Robert Richardson, Rebecca May, Pat Farrell, and Greg Boeschen, the sup- porting seniors were Scott Moncrief, Corey Johnson, Paul Schlachter, Heidi Kooy, and Rina Singh, Even though the cast was small, many students helped put it together. Freshman Suzanne Wright said, Helping with the senior play was a lot of fun. I got to paint some of the sets, eat doughnuts, drink Mrs. V's tea, do make-up, and get Thespian points. Although the play required many hours of work, it was worthwhile. The senior play was a fun experi- ence. l'm going to miss all of the seniors. They were really great and the play went well, said sophomore s 5 gs., J 1' . 5 I at i' 2 J '1' . e i g s. J 'L i ,,,, . C - , . . 2 .5 . Senior Play ii- iii Rachelle Saba. Junior Matt Neumann said, Being a house manager for the senior play was a truly enriching experience. Not many people realize how much a house manager really does. It was fun, but a lot of work. Senior Jeremy Rehwaldt said, As student direc- tor, l was able to watch the play evolve as it came closer and closer to the performance date. l felt that the play went smoothly and was a good example of the actors' and actresses' abilities. Director Mr, Ron Veburg said, The play reminds us that although we may have many material things, when the crisis occurs we are all 'Ordinary People'. In closing, senior Rina Singh said, 'Ordinary Peo- ple' is a difficult play to perform, and it was chosen with the potential of the senior class in mind. Through commitment, talent, and unity, we the senior class put out two excellent shows. Undoubtedly, both the cast members and the audience were moved by the haunt- ing and poignant message of the play.

n evening of Midni ht Ma ic nu aa: Mfg - , ,.,.. - -Q .'-. . . -,Q-'al ...ja - - r' ..w - Prom 1988 took a new twist from previous years. This year's event was held at the Adams County Fairgrounds. Exiled from the Senior High gym, the juniors outdid them- selves with decorations in red, silver and black to accentu- ate the theme of Midnight Magic. Also a new addition, Prom Royalty was incorporated into the festivities. A prince and princess were chosen from the junior class, and a king and queen were chosen from the senior class. Any student who purchased a ticket before a deadline date was eligible to be chosen for royal- ty. Pat Farrell and Linda Nelson were crowned king and queen, and Bill Tackwell and Kirsten Lysthauge were crowned prince and princess. Junior Kirsten Lysthauge said, lt was unbelieveable. I'm just glad I made it there on time. 1Senior Chonn y Curtis with her date junior Dennis Hin- son take a break from dancing at the refreshment table. -vRoyaIty was a new edition to the HHS prom scene this year. Crowned for 7988 was junior Bill Tackwell, Prince, senior Pat Farreli King senior Linda Nelson, Queen, and junior Kirsten L ysthauge, Princess. The band Sidekick played an assortment of songs varying from hard rock to the jitterbug sounds of the 50's. Senior Cathy Storer said, Sidekick was so much better than last year's band. We really enjoyed dancing. After the prom a breakfast was served at the YWCA by the junior parents. Eggs, ham, fruit and rolls were of- fered with smiling faces. The breakfast was a good idea, but it wasn't a popular one. lt was a real bummer when there were more adults than kids, said senior Mark Wimer. After Prom activities varied greatly depending on the company held. Junior Brandon McCoy said, Prom was a fun night, costly too. I'm glad it only happens once a year. Peg Johnson Prom l

WIRP Week R O S 0 0 t ' T I The Woman is Required to Pay Week, better known as TWIRP Week, gave the girls a chance to ask the guys out. The 'Woman' was also given a chance to experience the dreaded 'NO!', not to mention the tre- mendous lack of money for the next few weeks. Freshman Liz Soulis said, Because of TWIRP Week, I owe my parents SQO, a few of my friends 56, and about 512 to the people I twirpedf' For some fortunate guys, TWIRP Week made up for the lack of dates earlier in the year. TWIRP Week should happen more often. I had more dates this week alone than I've had during my three previous years of high school combined, said senior Greg Boeschen. However, TWIRP Week was enjoyed by the girls, too. Junior Irene Chen said, I had a great time during TWIRP Week. It was a good way to get to know people 4-.lunior Traci you never really knew before. The week started with movie night on Monday night. Due to the poor selection at the movie theaters, many couples chose to rent movies and stay home. Sophomore Ryan Daniels said, Movie night was defi- nitely the best night of the whole week. The company, the entertainment . . . what else can one ask for? Tuesday night followed with roller skating and Wednesday night's activities consisted of either Minia- ture Golfing or Bowling. Thursday night was the pizza party! picnic at Heartwell Park and TWIRP Week came to an end with the traditional TWIRP dance on Friday. Daniels summed it all up by saying, TWIRP Week was terrific.
