Good Show At a first glance. Drama Club meetings would appear to be disorganized. And, perhaps even at a second glance, Drama Club meetings appear disorganized. But when it comes to producing a show, the Drama Club puts it all together. This was evidenced in the outstanding production of The Diary of Anne Frank. All of the acting, make-up, props, and costumes were done by club mem- bers and that is the purpose of the club. Jeanette Short, a member of the cast of Diary , said that drama has been a very rewarding experience, not just because of the experience of being on stage, but also the neat people you get to meet. In spite of the friendly rivalry between DARNO (Degenerates and Redundant Numb- skulls Organization) and SPAMO (Superflously Peculiar and Mischievous Oddballs), all of the Drama Club mem- bers are truly good friends. 5 Jim lohnson persuades Lana Hartwell to let him have the floor at a Drama Club meeting. 6 Mark Gerber seems to enjoy his candy more than the meeting. 7 Drama Club: FIRST ROW: Jon Jones, Steve Fenwick, Julie Rogers, Jim Johnson, Wendy Small, Kathy Rose, Mark Weiss, Dale Camp, Marsha Queen, Tammy Laiuppa; SECOND ROW: Pam Jensen, Pam Smith, Betsy Samons, Jean Irwin, Lori Miles, Joe Zarzecki, Jeanette Short, Lisa Phelps, Walter Smith; THIRD ROW: Kevin Ed- wards, Stewart Wills, Tadd Buffington, Mark Gerber, Jim Free- man, Tina Booth, Jason Rumph, Kevin Shankel. 8 Lana Hartwell conducts a Drama Club meeting.

Just Roman' Around If your idea of entertainment is running around in a toga, eating grapes, and acting like a Roman, then perhaps you should join the Latin Club. Of course, knowing how to speak Latin is somewhat of a necessity, but not a requirement. The purpose of the Latin Club is solely for the pleasure of its members, and, according to their sponsor, Mr. Robinson, the enthusiastic support of all of our mem- bers made our events exciting and fun. The first annual Latin Club candy sale earned the club enough money to make their banquet, the Ides of March Orgy, a great success. The Romads also jour- neyed to Balboa Park, or Mt. Olympus, for a Roman picnic. They may not have seen any gods, but they all had a good time. In addition, the club sponsors the annual Tug-of-War pitting teams of Madison students against one another across a pool of mud. Ask any noble Romad how they enjoy the club and they will say, Unum Magna Tempus Multae! 1 Club members read Latin Transcripts. 2 Mr. Robinson supervises a Latin Club meeting. 3 Latin Club members watch a presentation. 4 Latin Club: LYING: Jim Mather; FIRST ROW: Bill Wilson, Tami Laiuppa, Dale Camp, Bruce Dixon, Audrey Gorman, Jim Bartley, Tina Elmore, Ann Edminson, Carol Vestal, Donna Bradley; SECOND ROW: Ann Gladney, Stephany Shriver, Candyce Eckoff, Mark Evans, Anna 8rown, Miles Johnson, Scott Bronson, Mark Gerber, Gregg James, Claude Olson; THIRD ROW: Tim Byrne, Melodic Doolittle, Denise Sinfield, Madeline Magill, Tracey Meyer, Anne Marie Newcomb, Jim Telfer, John Chancy, Andrea Villa, Roger Brown; FOURTH ROW: Kent Zboray, Carrie Bronson, Anne Lochner, Laura Snow, Lori Dick- inson, Julie Greenwood, Joy McDonald, Roger Bowman, Donard White, Mr. Robinson, John Munoa.

The Art of Self-Expression We speak in over twenty competitions a year said Susan Robilotta of the Speech Club, and there's more if we make the finals. Mr. Steinmetz is happy with his twenty-one members, but often wishes there was more support. It would be nice if more students were active in the speech arts, said Joe Hirtler, club president. To cover transportation and entry costs, members worked fran- tically to make one thousand corsages and boutonnieres for the Valentine's Day Flower Sale. After a nationwide topic is selected, partners work to gather and research facts for debating the issue. In preparing for National Forensic League Tournaments, members bombard each other with arguments. Speakers are divided into A teams and B teams, according to their ability. Most people join because of the many new friends they make said Andy Wright, and it's good experience to talk in front of so many students. 172 Speech Club
