Winter Homecoming provides February break This year the Student Council sponsored a Winter Homecoming. It was the first annual homecoming for all winter sports. The idea was for the student body to be able to have a chance to recognize these sports just as they did fall sports. The dance itself was held Feb. 7 following the boys’ basketball game. The DJ was Derek the Mad Doctor. The dance was a casual dance. King was Rich Capes and Queen was April Cook. As any new event.

You Can’t Take It considered i a success This year’s fall play, “You Can’t Take It With You”, though somewhat less than a sell-out, was a success for all those in- volved. The setting was the late 30’s and was a love story be- tween two young adults. One, Al- ice Sycamore, (played by Erin Sullivan) was destined to a life in a family comprised of a candy making ballerina, a painter turned playwright, a father that manufactures fireworks in his basement, and a grandpa that still plays with snakes. The other, Tony Kirby (played by Joe Peder- sen) was the son of a well-to-do family. The story goes well till both families meet. Then all cha- os breaks out. Other cast members included Mary Buskohl as Penelope Syca- more, Kim Freedlund as Essie, Paula Frye as Rheba, Brian Perry as Paul Sycamore, Robert Hop- kins as Mr. DePinna, Jason Farris as Ed, Ross Lawson as Donald, John Chernick as Grandpa, Troy Drake as Henderson, Rodney Gile as Kolenkhov, Amy Muranko as Gay Wellington, Tammy Reif as Mrs. Kirby, Bill Chernick as Mr. Kirby, Tammy Friday as Olga Katrina, and Jose De LaUz, Mike Steder, and Josh Lamping played the parts of the three men. Direc- tor for the second year was Mrs. Donna Pinson.
