Good Grief, Charlie Brown! Hey. wait a luinute! The names sound familiar, but he doesn ' t look like Charlie Brown and Snoopy doesn ' t look like a bea- gle. Oh. now I get it! The dratiia depart ment has put on its first production of the year You ' re a Good Man, Charlie Brown! . This fine musical was adapted from Charles Schulz ' s cartoon strip, Peanuts , and it was presented in the cafeteria on November 15th. 16th. and 17th. The cast, crew, and advisor. Mrs. Karol Benner. put in many long, hard hours of work to get their act together. The main characters were played by Manuel Payan (Charlie Brown). Sheri Wi- seman (Lucy). Marcus Long (Linus). Ever- ette Bacon (Schroeder). Denise Renfrow (Patty), and Angela Sanders (Snoopy). Other characters were played by Catrina Bryant. Tina Esquivel. Emily Pelralia, and Jeff Chandler. The play was a tremendous success; it was even videotaped. What do you think of that. Snoopy? 24— Sludent Life

Meet the Candidates On October 31. I9S4, students were in the middle of history being made with a new political awareness which they will never forget. There were six goals and objectives, not the least of which was get- ting them ready to vote intelligently by being well-informed on the propositions, candidates, and issues. The highlight of over four weeks back- ground work was to MEET THE CANDI- DATES. On this date. 150 Civics students converged on the library for another step in their election project. The opportunity to meet candidates is given to Mrs. Brazelton ' s civics students every two years for the general election, every four years for state and local elec- tions with the school board elections in between. National election takes prece- dence over all others. On this date, the students were ready to pursue dogmati- cally the issues, and challenge the most astute candidate. During the questioning period, one can- 3. 4. The two representatives for Jerry Patterson inform the students about their candidate.

Students picked up his inconsistencies with the iTiental acuity and political acumen of a polished critic from the opposition par- ty! As students relentlessly hammered away at a weak link in the candidate ' s basic philosophy on the Issues, Mrs. Brazelton asked Mr. Wise, who was lis- tening on the sideline. Should I pull a Barbara Walters and stop this line of interrogation? The WISE man said. No way, let them go. I love it! If the candidates can ' t stand up under the pressures of our civics students, how will they ever stand up under the pres- sure of the office? Mrs. Brazelton stepped back proudly and let the candi- dates defend themselves! Here was an active constituency ex- ercising what de Tocqueville called Tyranny of the Majority . This was indeed better than the apathy and ig- norance encumbering too many stu- dents with negativism and doubt about their roles in democratic society. It was an exciting time and yes, there was something in it for everybody. Contributed by Mrs. Brazelton 26- Student Life
