Dance Club Perfects Steps Dance Club members were excited about the perfomance of their second annual mid-year show. They worked hard one afternoon each week from 3 to 4:30 p.m. perfecting their dance steps and the choreography under the watchful eye of their sponsor, Mrs. Kathy Hund. The girls received assistance from dramatics teacher Roger Ramseyer in rehearsals, preparing costumes, learn- ing makeup and making stage settings. To learn pantomime,rnodern jazz steps and a bit of country, the club invited a guest dancer to several meetings in the fall. FMCC Visits Med Center The Future Medical Careers Club got off to a good start with a field trip to Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Cen- ter. The club had many speakers deal- ing with health careers. They also went on field trips to doctors' offices and hos- pitals. The club was concerned mostly with what the students wanted to know and what they wanted to get out of the club, but, like many other clubs, FMCC found it difficult to get active members. FMCC was open to any student who was interested in medical careers. It helped students to become aware of job opportunities and helped them to plan for the future.

,Dedication Gets Results For the forensics squad, 1980 was a good year, according to Coach Les Kuhns. We had a lot ot kids do a lot of work this year, and as a result we had a good squad, he explained. Forensics students, who met fourth and sixth hours, chose two events to participate in at tive tournaments around the state. The choices for stu- dents ranged from current events dis- cussions in extemporaneous speech, informative speech, or original oration to events in duet acting, improvised duet acting, humorous interpretation, and dramatic interpretation, or to one of the reading events such as prose or poetry. The performers also had a chance to participate in a mock legisla- ture during the last nine weeks. The squad held the Topeka West ln- vitational Forensics Tournament on March 16. More than 300 students from 15 schools battled for the winning hon- ors in the Saturday event. When the competitive season end- ed, the squad turned to public perfor- mances ot their speech talent for such groups as the PTA and the Ladies' Auxiliary. 42 I Activities I Forensics M -.
