Singers. dancers. actors. jugglers, musicians and comedians all added variety to the daily routine. Mrs. Elaine Harris, choral director. required all of her students to perform for an exam grade. Since I teach performance classes, I thought it best to have the students perform for their grades rather than take a 'fy Q 'A fill - I It ki B written test. she said. Most of her students liked the idea. Jimmy Mulhollan, freshman, whojuggled for his exam grade. explained how he started his unusual hobby. My parents took a trip. and they brought me back a book called Juggling for the Complete Klutz, so I taught myself to juggle. I read a poem. said senior Shawn Camp. I liked it because lgot a grade from my performance and not a flat out 'A'.

Juggling Jimmy. Risking life and limb, freshman Jimmy Mulhollan juggles machetes for his first semester exam grade. What an act to follow P.A.'s own rock band, Feedback, gave a concert during lunch for their grade. The group had seven members. Gary Gingrich, senior. who played drums for the band. said, lt takes up time because we don't all learn a song at the same time. It always takes longer than we think. lt's worth it. though, because l get a personal thrill out of it. But performing wasn'tjust limited to the stage. as lower school classes produced plays from their reading books and performed them for each other. Mrs. Dorcas Baumgardner's second grade did two plays. Anyone Could But... and Christmas Around the World. lt was really fun, said Jason Clayton. l was afraid l would forget my lines though. 54f Academics 'tv t 2 IT? . n. .. ia.
