Directed by the new drama teach- er, Sahni Samuelson, a talented cast put on three flawless performances of Antigone. Modernizing the Sophoclean trag- edy of Antigone was a great under- taking for Frenchman Jean Anouilh in 1943. Anouilh’s version of Antigo- ne symbolized, in a carefully dis- guised way, the French protest of Germany’s occupation of France “The close-knit situation of the cast gave us the opportunity to get to know each other better.” during World War II. The play for- tunately passed German censorship. The timeless quality of Antigone al- lows the audience to identify with Success of a tragedy the characters’ continual struggle between moral and state rights. In the play, Antigone (Carolyn Hunter) is torn between family loy- alty and state jurisdiction. She is forced into a hopeless fight against her uncle Creon (Chad Bochet,) King of Thebes, when she disobeys an edict he has made against her brother. Her fiance, Haemon (Allan Cordova,) and her sister, Ismene (Kathleen Khonke,) support her in her struggle to do what is right. These other cast members all helped to unfold this great tragedy: Creighton Burgher, Traci Miadich, Janelle Gates, Pat Reynolds, Lance Larson, Mike McGee, Eric Schultz, Toby LaFrance, and Joy Ellis. With the assistance of Jodi Ar- noff, Kari Bartos, Matt Lyons, Ra- chel Cooper, and Quint Carlson backstage, the play went on smooth- ly all three nights.

Striding to the top Jogging to the warm-up song, tossing around a football with the coach, and modeling the latest in satin tights were all a part of the good times experienced by this year’s cross country team. Howev- er, it was the personal motivation and desire to win which led the boys to a third place district trophy and the girls to yet another league title. The Girls team, led by All-League runners Stacey Hughes and Val Bluett, won twenty-one consecutive dual meets. These two talented run- ners, along with Mary Jenkins, Wendy Haliski, Megan Heinke, Lori Dvorak, Betsy Kliks, and team captain Jill Creedon, raced to an un- defeated season, a league champion- ship, and seventh place in the State “They achieved more than anyone thought they would.” meet. According to Coach Hurd- strom, a couple of untimely injuries prevented them from doing even better. The Boys team was “an extremely young group that achieved more than anyone thought they would,” remarked Coach Hurdstrom. Al- though the team did not go to state, two sophomores, Sam Hagen and Mike Schlieman, competed well in- dividually and represent things to come. In the next two years, Hurd- strom expects the boys team to be among the best in the state. As usual, both JV teams were out- standing. The girls, led by freshman Jenny Tilson, ended the season with an undefeated record. The boys fin- ished with four wins and two losses and freshman Shan Gray won the individual JV title.
