Artisans The Artisans are best known for using their artistic talents combined with creative ideas to decorate the halls of Lutheran High. The decorations for the annual Christmas Concert and the posters advertising Drama productions are two great examples of the Artisans ' many projects. This year, Mr. Aufdemberge sponsored the Artisans for the first time. It was a good year for everyone, and the beautiful results of all their hard work made many events at Lutheran High even more memorable.

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!

A fradi+ion of service and love Red Cross For Red Cross, a service organization sponsored by Mrs. Russ, keeping busy was not hard during the ' 87-88 school year. Their activities ranged from help- ing the needy to visiting such places as the Arkansas Manor Nur- sing Home. For their many visits to Arkansas Manor, this group made gifts and cards. They also served refreshments at the February Pops Concert. The Red Cross is truly a service organization — they help in ways that are needed and often neglected by others. Mrs. Russ and the girls in Red Cross did a wonderful job of representing Lutheran Fiigh School in the community. Mrs. Russ (top) supervises members of Red Cross while they serve as waitresses at the Pops Concert. Their efforts made the con- cert more enjoyable for everyone.
