Capfuring the momeni Photographers They may have spent a lot of time in the darkroom, but they were never in the dark when it came to photography! The school photographers pictured above — Jeff Rosenberg, Jody Meckley, John Adam, and Heather Baniszewski — spent may hours (that ' s an understatement!) supply- fng the yearbook and newspaper with pictures. They not only took all of the photographs, but they developed the film and printed them as well. Seniors Jeff and Jody have been working as school photographers for the past few years; John and Heather joined them this year. With Mr. Hermann as their teacher and resident ex- pert, these four produced literally hundreds of pictures this year They did a tremendous job, anc managed to keep their cool anc their patience, even when the had dozens of pictures to print or top of classes, exams, sports, anc everything else! Their talent anc hard work are greatly appreciated! 34

Lights Gimera Action Mr. Paul Von Rentzell was once again the sponsor of the Marquees, the club to join if your ' re into ac- ting, set design, lighting, make-up, or just the thrill of the st age. Ms. Von, assisted this year by Mr. Banko, taught the Marquees many acting skills, and together they all worked on the many behind-the- scene projects involved in drama production. This year the entertainment began with three one-act plays in September; Take a Letter, The Bir- thmark,, and This Way to Heaven. All who auditioned were given parts, so that they would have a chance to discover latent talent and see if acting was for them. The fall play Charley ' s Aunt, followed. This was a real challenge, as actors not only had many lines to learn, but had to acquire British ac- cents and Victorian mannerisms as well. During the last week of January, a Children ' s Theatre group toured Denver ' s Lutheran elementary schools, performin Peter Cottontail, which delighte ' the children as well as giving them a peek at what Lutheran High ' s Drama Department is like. Mr. Von believes tnat Children ' s Theatre is a great outreach effort, because it is seen by so many people . . . two or three different scnools each day of the tour. The Marquees have fun, but they work hard too. No sooner was the Children ' s Theatre tour over, than they went to work building a new stage. All in all, 1988 was a successful year that made the most of the multi-talented Marquees!
