Q TI-IE SHOW- UFF S . lg w. l' .. Performers tried to find vehicles for their talents, a way to show off the ability and pride that is character- istic of Coogs. Performing was an outlet for talented individuals and gave them a chance to entertain oth- ers. Assemblies gave performers a way to display their particular talents. Weekly assemblies were held, and most were fund-raisers for clubs. The Mexican Revolution was one group that has annually graced the gym with its progressive country sounds. The choir assembly also dis- played the talents of musically inclined students and was enhanced by the presentation of the Headliner Award to their director, Mr. Gene Gal- braith. Fun filled the Christmas assembly, which was highlighted by The Twelve Days After Christmas skit. Teachers joined to compete with students and with one another in the NHS basketball game and the tricycle race. The slave auction, as always, was one of the year's favorites, where slaves dressed in burlap sacks were sold for prices up to 555. Jake Pickle attended Crockett to speak to an assembly of students, and members from Joske's Teen Board held a fashion show from which proceeds went to the Art Miles fund. The variety of performances made the advisory period bearable and gave the Coog spirit a chance to show off. 1. Congressman Jake Picke answers previously submitted questions of Crockett students. 2. The Gilbertos, a Belgiam family whose appear- ance was sponsored by the Texans, perform var- ious balancing acts. 3. Ms. Sarah Foster claps approvingly at her teacher teammates' efforts in the NHS basket- ballgame. 4. The Mexican Revolution entertains the crowd with progressive country music. 5. Jim Hille displays the effort it takes to lay an egg, as he performs in the Christmas assembly. 6. Mr. Ruben Garza grins as he makes a last ditch attempt to win his heat of the tricycle race. 218 activities,

The light-hearted comedy of man- ners centers around the dream man of two proper English ladies, Cecily and Gwendoline. ln their desire to be engaged to the ladies, both Algernon and Jack pretend to have the name Ernest. The typically complicated plot of f . Oscar Wilde made the play a difficult , T . .. undertaking, but with assistant direc- Sf Y tor Lynn Schaffer's help, it ran smoothly. gg. Ms. Price attributed the success of the play to the cast and crew, saying they lived up to and surpassed all expectations. However, Tim Meeks, who played Lane, added The success of the pro- duction was largely because of Ms. Price's fine directing. To the credit of all involved, The Importance of Being Earnest will stand on its own in a long line of suc- cessful productions. 1. An irate Lady Bracknell CBeth Olsony rants and raves over her daughter's sudden engagement. 2. Merriman fRandy Greathouseb, Lane Ulm Meeksj, Miss Prism fMatty Blevinsj and Dr. Chausable CNick Vincellij drew laughs with their droll wit. 3. To put him at ease while she greases his hair back, Director Mary Price chats with Barton Faulks during a dress rehearsal. 4. Gwendoline lDiana Toupiny listens in discomfi- ture while Cecily CCarolyn Footeb innocently dis- closes that they are both engaged to Ernest. 5. Jack CBarton Faulksy tries to get his cigar case back before Algernon CCarIos Bonazzaj can dis- cover the inscription inside. 6.
