Fine Arts Organizations Provide Students with ci Change of Pace Plays, art centers, Flam- enco dances and French cuisine probably had noth- ing in common unless a student was involved in the Drama, Art, Spanish or French-German Clubs. With a strong interest in the cultural arts, students found many opportunities to explore many new and fascinating ideas. Field trips, speech tourna- ments, and fundraisers were just a few of the activ- ities. Not only did the mem- bers of the Drama Club participate in the produc- tion of plays, but some also competed in Speech tour- naments. When Miss Elliott first asked me to go, I was very nervous. When I walked into the room to do my speech, I heard two or three speeches. I knew I had some tough competi- tion, and I wasn't too confi- dent, but I went up and did my presentation the best I knew how, said Wende Moseley. Field trips to the art Cen- ter and the UALR Art De- partment gave art club members many new ideas about their work. It was interesting and fun. We saw neat modern art and some really weird art, HAVING A BITE of Spanish cuisine provided the Spanish Club with a little bit of Spain's heritage. Jonathan Davis, Mandy Dumas, and Bubba McVay try to decide whether or not they are will- ing to try the frijoles. PLAYING WITH TOYS was an un- usual activity to see at school. Mike Da- vis and Ric Wade find a few moments to play with the unusual Spanish toys. said Maijo Wuorisalo. Not only did Spanish students learn to speak the language, but they ex- plored the lives and cul- ture of the Spanish de- scent which could be traced back centuries ago. With a taste for Mexi- can cuisine and an interest in Mexican dancing, stu- dents took an excursion to a production of Flamenco dancing. The French classes spent a day away from the books as they ventured to see a French play and then to McCain Mall for a little Christmas shopping. -- M Performances l

..mlW ' 1 ...--uv'- stiff U M, PEQJPLE On August 24, 1005 people gathered together to form a mass from which there was no turning back. This mass developed into a body that would not dissolve until May. The beauty of the body came from the many artists. Talents like Jennifer Ar- doin's were displayed throughout the school and at district and state fairs. The artists not only included the visual artists, but the actors, performing artists. Emotional or humorous, they brought out beauty through their performance. Student Government provided the body with a voice. The officers, led by presi- dent Al Graham, were responsible for see- ing that the wants and needs ofthe school's student body were heard by the faculty. The outspoken individuals chosen as represen- tatives voiced opinions from their class- mates. The Big Bad Wolf gets after the Grandmother at the Halloween pep assem- bly. Wayne Brown played Crandmother as he and wolf David Kersey per- form with the Drill Team. The school and its related activities were seen through the journalists. The eyes of the camera-clicking photogra- phers, like Mike Anderson and Cathy Cook, caught memorable moments, while the reporters and writers recorded all they heard in the newspaper or yearbook. The measurement of bodily strength came from the athletes, as shown by Gary Williams. Gary ran five touchdowns in only one game only to be disappointed when three were called back. Athletic ex- cellence enhanced both physical and mental strength of the body. Winning brought individuals closer with spirit and school pride. This body was a continuation of bod- ies past and a part of bodies to come, but somehow it was unique and better, be- cause it was the individuals themselves that made a. great student body.
