A Variety ot Sights and Sounds Filled the Air he 1985 variety show got off to a great start when the jazz band and Limited Edition performed From This Moment On. l liked having the Jazz band behind us, said Adam Huch, '88, a member of the Limited Edition. They added vitality to the songs. This year two bands performed instead of just one. Satyre and The Result were chosen to play. Performing didn't bother me, said Jim Noel, '86, drummer for the Result. I couldn't see the people! Mrs. Deb Ketelson, Mr. Bob Gish, Mr. Michael Green, and Mr. Vern Hockett were all directors in the show and chose the acts that performed. All four of us sat down and listened to the auditions, said Hockett. The acts were judged on originality, stage presence, audience appeal, and creativity. Talent was everywhere during the variety show. The talent included the Red Hot Poultry Boys, Jay Douglas, '87, singing a song that he wrote himself, the Goldusters, and a bunch of Trombone players performing with bags over their heads. Even though the show only lasted for three nights it will be remembered for along time by the audience and the performers.

A Glimpse at the Une-Acts id you ever get the feeling that you were nobody or maybe that your life was just a bunch of short takes? This year's winter One-Acts, Glimpses, Hold Me, and l'm Nobody, were held on January 31st and February lst. They displayed what these feelings were like. They showed the different lifestyles such as high society in the south, dealing with divorce and death. They also talked about being fat, popular, having acne, braces, and needing clothes and money. There was also a short segment on the school system and how it works in that certain community. lt has insight to different view points, said Beth Westbrook, '85. The One-Acts are good for people who aren't usually in plays, said Leighton Christiansen '86, There are enough parts for anyone who wants to try out their talent, but don't want to go as far as the Spring Play. Tears were brought to the actors and actresses on opening night, as the crowd ex- pressed their feelings. As a whole they went pretty good, but on Thursday night the audience wasn't the best, said Tlm Sipes '85. Other than the first night going wrong it was a good experience for everyone involved. I got to meet some really neat people, said Adrienne Storm '87. l had fun doing these and now l'm going to try out for the Spring Play.
