An Enriching Experience Q or 'tis the mind that makes the body rich'. That quote came from the play The Taming ofthe Shrew by William Shakespeare which was one of the many plays read and analyzed by the students in the Shakespeare Class and Club. Ms. Bowland, teacher and club advisor, wanted her students to gain a greater understanding of their fellow man by studying what Shakespeare said in his plays. Ms. Bowland felt that additional study of the Elizabethan Age and Shakespeare's life aided students in understanding the motivation behind his plays. This benefited the students by enriching them with more areas of in- terest and increased their knowledge of life. Nancy Neubauer, club vice-president, explained, The English language con- tains 24,000 quotes from Shakespeare, more than any other written material. Sarah Henceroth, president of club, ex- pressed further, A lot of quotes in other classes alude to Shakespeare. The students also enjoyed fieldtrips to Phoenix to view the Merchant of Venice and to Scottsdale to see Twelfth Night. In April they hosted a banquet which in- volved research into clothing, cooking, and the structure of banquets held from 1509-1616. The students chose a character from a play, made their own costume, and memorized quotes to use in presenting themselves to the queen, whom they elected. The climax of the year occurred in the summer when club members attend- ed a Shakespeare festival in Ashland, Oregan. Ms. Bowland commented ex- citedly, It's a terrific festival, we'll see four performances and take part in several workshops. jean McKnight, sec., said, It lthe clubl is a good group of people with a common interest.

Season, Very Successful Q Q joined speech to improve my communication skills , stated Speech Vice President Mia Schnaible. Mia enjoyed competitive speech because it gave her the oppor- tunity to meet new and interesting peo- ple. Speech helps me to speak in front of people with self confidence. She continued by saying, My self expecta- tions are to compete at districts and possibly go to state. The team is really enthusiastic and there is a great blend of personalities that makes the team really enjoyable, stated Advisor Kathy Ramage-White. My expectations are to send delegates to state. I think the team's goals for each individual are to achieve their own goals. When asked what speech did for its members, Ramage-White replied, It 5' 3... 4 Y ?n-u-un!un-p--------------- as helps gain self confidence and poise. The 1982-85 Speech Team had a very successful season. The team had an average of placing second or third at each tournament they participated in. The team, last year, had many members from various groups and social circles. Mia stated, If I could change one thing about speech I think I would like more people to get involved in the Speech Team and see what it's all about. Mia had been involved in Speech for two years and really enjoyed it. She planned to participate next year. The main goal for the Speech Team last year was to capture the district title and send as many members as possible to compete in Districts.
