Hard work ends in laudable production Eagle feelings came alive in the Abilene High auditorium as sophomores, juniors and seniors dazzled the audience with spectac- ular performances. The Eighth Annual Sing Song was detinitely more than just an activity in October, it served as the major competition between the three classes at AHS. Before its October 26 presentation, many hours of planning and preparation went into making Sing Song i978 a highlight of Homecoming week. An initial step was the selection of four students who would become the show's hosts and hostesses. Tryouts were held on September i4 in the auditorium. From a turnout of twenty-four students, Clay Hale, Terri Hawkins, Randy Story and Dorothy McFarland were chosen as performers. Music was then selected to showcase the hosts' and hostesses' talents. Tryouts for student directors followed on the next day with Matt Craig and Michelle Derrick being appointed. With Sing Song only weeks away, long hours of rehearsals and endless preparations began. Many rehearsals were held at various locations around town on week nights and even over weekends. Most students spent a good portion of their day in all-around preparation for the Sing Song presentation. Finally, students received their one and only chance to see each other's perform- ances at dress rehearsal two nights before the actual show. Coordinated by Mr. Wes Odell, Sing Song included a tremendous amount of time and hard work on the part of over 200 of Abilene High's students. Limited to a budget of 1l5l,O00, the production was proclaimed a fabulous success. vw 4 5 Myra Cumby Steve Currie Tommy Dabney Mary Dail Cyndi Dambach Shelia Daniels Deana Dannenberg Laura Darnell David Davidson Cecelia Davis Lana Davis Randy Davis 24-Seniors
