Like our own Lenape, the 'tLenni covers sports, ac- tivities, curriculum, and other phases of stu- dent life. When asked if there were any outstanding students from either group. Mr. Tuthill responded, Three students come to mind first. For instance, in videotaping the play Mark Mraz showed me he can do fine work behind the camera. Seniors Kerry Preston and Sarah Miller are also excellent people with the microphone. Their per- sonalities come across during the shooting, making the person who is interviewed more open and relaxed. There are other students too numerous to mention as well. As always, Mr. Tuthill proves his expertise in the video and television field by turning out a profes- sional and creative summary of the year's events in Lenni and in his students' mastery of skills.
