Outside of the realm of MErM's and cookbook sales: this year's organizations thought of unique ways to raise Step right up - Senior Class President Brion Dillman sells hot or cold drink huggies ro Cathy Smith, The fund raiser was held to raise money for the senior class I'S Fundraise A 0' By the end of every school year, most students have had their fill of M6M's and chocolate candy bars. lt seems as if every club sells candy as a fundraiser. Why? Most club sponsors say it's for one reason. Big profits. Straying away from the norm, many clubs decided to sell unusual items with the hope of making a better profit. Speech club sold green garters in order to ameliorate the club's treasury. Band members sold cheese and did inven- tories. DECA members sold carnations on Fridays as they have done every year in the past, and SADD sold various flavors of popcorn. The cheerleaders were also caught in the buck- building scheme as they were faced with raising 55,700 in time for their com- petition trip to Florida in December. Holding a workshop for young pep- raisers, the cheerleaders taught and demonstrated the correct way to cheer for a winning or o losing team. Combining the money raised from the workshop and from stationery sales, the girls were able to par- ticipate at the National Cheerleading Competition. Band members also did in- ventories in order to raise money for their trip to Florida. Perhaps, the most memorable Cond the most difficult to organizej fun- draiser was the World Class Championship Wrestling show brought to the BHS boy's gym November 23. Originated by Mr. Joe Roseborough, assistant prin- cipal, two years ago, it pro- vided the Senior class 53,000 to add to their prom fund. Highlighting the show were Kerry VonErich and One Man Gang. Although we went into it blind, we were successful and we learned a great deal from it, said Mrs. Shirley Harraman, Senior class sponsor. Copy - Briana Brady Layout - Sherri Garonzik 3 . f is -x fP.

GY oadw Br Under the bright lights drama club members prove they're bound for Drama department members continued their tradition of excellence this year with two new produc- tions, Guys and Dolls and You Can't Take lr Wirh You. Talented casts with the right chemistry devoted many hours of hard work to pro- duce shows that would be entertaining as well as im- pressive to audiences. The fall musical Guys and Dolls, set in the 192O's, was a great success despite many obstacles. Through two and a half months worth of rehearsing, some lasting as long as six hours, and five dress rehearsals a fine production emerged. The technical crew work- ed at leost three hours after school each day in order to prepare the set. Almost everything on the stage we built, said set chief Jodie Thompson We finished it at 2 a.m. the day before opening night. Dealing with a wealthy gambler trying ta win the af- fection af a determined mis- sionary, the play was filled with entertaining scenes of action, dancing and singing. At times it was irritating, said senior Marty Burke, but it was one of the most enjoyable shows l've ever done. The spring production, You Can't Take lt With You, proved equally successful. QD. Nottlnghamy Shape up or ship out - Seeing some crap-shooters gambling in the street, Mike Cooper, depicting a hard-nosed policeman, orders them to stop disturbing the peace, Tying the knot- After being engaged for seven long years in Guys and Dolls, Rob Kolar finally succumbs ta marrying Christy Easterling, as Sean Owens, portraying his best man, gives a grin of approval. 18 Auditions were held in late November for the February play. Regular daily rehearsals and three dress rehearsals prepared the COST for two impressive performances. The plotline dealt with an unusually rebellious family trying to survive in a confor- mist society. The grand- father, for example, played by Preston Bryan, had not paid his taxes in 25 years. The family's favorite dinner was a meal of cornflakes and watermelon, and throughout the play, two uncles experimented with fire crackers for some unknown reason. Both productions were not produced without problems, however, Scott Rogers came down with laringitus during Guys and Dolls and ad-libbing became a necessity when actors found it impossible to recall that one line. Several oeople also forgot their entrances, the firecrackers did not go off during one performance of You Can'r Take lt With You, and a few blunders occured, but as senior Linda Giles ex- plained, Every perfor- mance has those because everyone is so nervous.
