“You Can’t Take It With You” A Big Success As The All-School Play The play, “You Can’t Take it With You , was per- formed by Lake Preston High School students on April 26, 1985. Attendance from the public was very good. The main story line of the play was about two young people (played by Vikki Anderson and Shane Ode- gaard) who were very much in love. Their families were so different, however, that they were separated for a period of time. In the end, all was worked out and Tony (Shane) and Alice (Vikki) were married. Cast and director over came many problems in put- ting on the performance. The production was post- poned several times as a result of work in the gym and inclement weather. Another problem was lack of boys CAST Penelope Sycamore Kathy Verhey Essie Dana Houser Rheba Dawn Tolzin Paul Sycamore Tim Scheidt Mr. De Pinna Amy Wienk Ed Lon Bratland Donald Todd French Martin Vanderhov David Jibben Alice Vikki Anderson Ms. Henderson Denise Tolzin Tony Kirby Shane Odegaard Madame Kolenkov Lynne Casper Gay Wellington Jana Iverson Mr. Kirby Jadd Odegaard Mrs. Kirby Caryn Ellingson Justice Men Delila Odegard Julie Tolzin Terri Wienk Olga Shawn Hasche Director Roxanna Sorknes CREWS Stage Manager Stage Crew Kay Osvog Michele Gunderson Shannon Schulz Sound Effects and Publicity Darwin Smith Carol Hesby Michelle Jensen Mary Smith Who Wrote The Play “You Can’t Take It With You”? to fill the male positions. Amy Wienk played a male part and was very convincing. Some parts were rewritten to fill the availibility of actors. Dawn Tolzin and Todd French used make-up and personality changes to make their parts realistic. Marge French did a very respect- able job on make-up. Other major roles in the play were portrayed by Kathy Verhey as Penelope Sycamore, Tim Scheidt as Paul Sycamore, David Jibben as Martin Vanderhoff, Dana Houser as Essie Carmichael, Lon Bratland as Ed Carmi- chael, and Lynne Casper as Madame Kolenkov. Vikki Anderson and Todd French were chosen as best actress and actor by the cast and crew. Todd French looks on as Jana Iverson rehearses her part as Gay Wellington. Dawn Tolzin enjoyed playing the part of Rheba. 16

FFA Is Full Of “Champions” The FFA started this year a little mixed up. Chris Casper, the chapter president moved to Arlington leaving one officer position to be filled. The FFA had to do some moving of officers around but eventually came up with a good group. Todd Carlson was president, Shane Odegaard was vice-president, Sharri Casper was secretary, Lon Brat- land was the treasurer, Jon Casper was sentinel. Darwin Smith was the reporter and Brian Carlson was the student advisor. The FFA attended the district leadership contests where the officer team earned a fifth place in parlimentary procedure. They had a busy year attending judging schools and contests. They started out the year in October when they attended the district land judging contest in Wessington Springs. There was then a break until January, when they attended the Sioux Empire Farm show in Sioux Falls and started planning the National FFA Week’s activities. In February then attended the Watertown farm show. FFA Week was February 16-23. The FFA had several activities that ranged from a poster contest for the elementary to appreciation lunches for the teachers and business people of the community. They were promot- ing the theme “Keep agriculture 1” with newspaper ads and radio spots. April they hosted the District 11 crops, meat evaluation, and quarter horses judging contests at Lake Preston. The rest of the contests were located at DeSmet and Willow Lake. They finally broke the medal barrier when Shane Odegaard placed third in the dairy cattle judging and Brandon Karban placed ninth in the Livestock judging. The dairy cattle team placed fifth. This was the last preparation contest before the state convention. Thirteen FFA’ers attended, judg- ing in five contests. Todd Carlson and Sharri Casper judged livestock, Lon Bratland, Shane Odegaard and Darwin Smith judged dairy cattle, Brian Carlson. Mike Strande andJay Williams judged meats. Jon Casper and Brandon Karban judged quarter horses and Mike Ander- son, Jadd Odegaard and Tim Scheidt judged crops. The chapter brought home a superior chapter award and Shane Odegaard, Bran- don Karban and Brian Carlson brought home individual awards for their particular contests. Also, the dairy team won an award. April 29th was the parent banquet with Jim Woster as the guest speaker. The FFA closed out the year with a May meeting where they planned their summer activities. 18 March came along with the Morrell's judging school and Little 1.
