(? au ici£ ‘P'uuAide i S o cv By Andrea Carr When the news that the Variety Show had been canceled reached the student body, several people were up- set. The Variety Show has provided students with the opportunity to ex- press themselves in a different light. With a large high school such as ours, kids need a chance to show off the ability and talent that set them apart from everyone else. As frustrated opinions continued to be voiced. Stu- dent Council listened and responded. When the idea of a talent show was brought up much enthusiasm was shown. And so a date was finally set as Saturday. May 23.1987 at 8:00 pm. Michelle Hunzicker served as chair- person and Lori Hughes was the stage manager. Only two rehearsals were set for the entire crew but these proved highly efficient. The council's con- cern for the student body was evi- dent. If not for their efforts, SCHS would have never known about Jeff Eell's legs or his resemblance to Vanna White. Jill McGaughy's name would have forever been a secret as well. The entire cast certainly proved that students can produce, write, and or- ganize a successful show if given the chance. The Council sponsored the show in response to student requests and again proved to students that they listen and care, and will respond to their needs,” commented Sheila Baldridge.
