Main Events Enjoys Mame, Sherlock Holmes, and More Without the Main Events Club 1 would not attend any type of plays ' said Main Events President Shawn Knight. Main Events Club exposes high school students to the fine arts of music, theater, ballet and opera in the Houston area. Without Main Events Club many students would spend their time watching T.V. and listening to the radio instead of attending a live performance every now and then, explained sponsor, Mrs. Beryl Hogshead. Main Events started their activities off with Enter Laughing at Theater Southwest, The 1940 Radio Hour at The University of Houston- Whortham Theater, A Little Night Music and Mame at The Theater Under the Stars. Also, they attended The Adventures of the Speckled Band . . . Sherlock Holmes at The Chocolate Bayou Theater. Next year Main Events will be limited to one field trip per semester. It is to be held in the Houston area on weekends or other times when there is no school. This rule was made because the Board of Education feels that many school students are in too many extra-curricular activities. In my view, it seems that the administrators are putting any athletic sport above something as educational as Main Events, said Mrs. Hogshead. Club member, Lora Holsopple comments, It's a shame Main Events is allowed only two trips a year because the majority of the students here don't have the chance to see any type of plays and in Main Events one gets to visit a majority of the dramas that come to the Houston area.

The number of single parent families was on the rise while teenage suicide rates continued to climb. It was a controversial year for schools filled with educational issues. But the yeai was also filled with fun. There were new fads and fashions, teen nightclubs and breakdancing. The concept of the Rambler Mini Magazine was formed in order to bring more current events information into the yearbook. By having this section, it is hoped that you will be able to look back at this book and remember the events which were part of your preparation for the years ahead. By Rac Rabe, Asst. Editor Rambler 145
