Outstanding members of the team praised by coach Payne were Martin Griswold, Kathy Ward, Dave Dalpra, Lara Tonn, Shilene Meyers, and Debbie Pum- phrey. All members of the forensics and debate teams classes had the responsibility of memorizing their speeches, doing all library research, and many other skills depending on the specific topic of their speech.

A Skyline High's Company: 84-85 Musicai The musical this year was great! said Mr. Albers. The cast members practiced 20-30 hours a week for the musical, Company , All the members who auditioned had to go through several workshops such as dance workshop, singing and acting workshop, more, auditions, callbacks and then the cast was finally picked. The people who chose the cast were Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Christian, and Mr. Albers. Mr. Albers said that about every other year we'll have a musical. The thing that everyone hears is that only music students can audition for the musical. Even though they were encouraged to get involved in events such as this, non-music students could audition too. Talent plays a big part in being in a musical. Being outgoing, unshy, willing to take criticism, taking orders, and having patience were just a few characteristics of a good dramatic and musical student. Overall the most important factor of making a good musical production is TIME! Also Diane Htzsimmons grins at the camera as Barb Marrazz looks on. Mike Strickland struts his stuff 142 Musical A-WM, important are practice and cooperation. Mr. Albers said that a lot of students hidden talents came forth, and many talents grew in leaps and bounds. Being in a dramatic musical can be a great learning experience for all music students. Learning how to cooperate and get along with other students, patience, self-confidence, and a lot of practice. The musical Company was directed by Joanna Ramsey. The costumes by Susan Hayhoe and Deanna Hebbert. Assistant Director was Liz Christian and Artistic Direction was by Roger Hinz. Company is a musicai comedy about marriage. It's about what happens to people when they try to lose that painful independence via mutual consent, love, sex, vows, and contact. It's moving, exciting, perplexing and poignant. The orchestra, set construction, and paint crew played a big part in the play. Publicity was Liz Christian, Shane Shannon, and Joel Smiley. Program and poster design was by Roger Hinz and Dan Hall. ,, ,f
