Shew business Pulses race behind the iron curtain. The crowd roars waiting. Students who performed in That Day and Impromptu , Jan. 18, had to learn the meaning of the word practice. The plays were produced by the drama department under the direction of Dra- ma teacher Jeannie Gray. We spent over a month rehears- ing. junior Allen Walker said. Without practice we never would have made it. After the performance, the cast members said they were pleased. I think it was really a success. sophomore Jennifer Barlow said. I got tired of running over the scene, but I am really happy how well it turned out. Adjusting to the character seemed to be difficult for some. It was hard to adjust to my char- acter's personality, Walker said. He was a 'follow the leader kind of guy', but I'm not. Some drama students have plans for future careers. I am really interested in perform- ing. junior Steve Grappe said I don't think I'll become famous though. Whether these dedicated perform- ers become actors or even nursery school workers they all have learned the great need to practice for perfec- tion. — by Kristy Honeycut CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

Though the club has about 50 mem- bers. president Jodie Via said. I wish that the Spanish club had more re- sponse from the students because it is really fun and it helps them understand Spanish more. The club plans to decorate the halls during Foreign Language Week in March. Via said members will hang posters with Spanish sayings. The Spanish club hopes that this will help increase interest in the next few years, she said. Sponsor Jane Bilon has big plans for the club. As this is my first year here. I want the Spanish Club to become something that every student of Span- ish could be involved in so that he or she could come to appreciate how im- portant a foreign language can be. she said. — by Holly Wilkinson ESCUCHAME.
