i I J J Seniors, Last Stop eus Stop, the 1985 Senior Play, was presented by the Senior Class and Mr. Ron Proctor. Senior Class sponsor. March 7 and 8, 1985. in the Dickinson High School auditorium. The play ' s author is William Inge. The entire three act play takes place in a small-town restaurant in Kansas. Because of harsh weather, the bus line which stops at Grace ' s Diner periodically is stranded for the night until roads are re-opened. During this time. Bo (Chris Stegall) is changed from an arrogant, bullying cowboy into a humbled child with the help of Will (Todd Gupton) . the sheriff of the town, and Virgil (Doug Burmaster) . Bo ' s friend, by the love of Cherie (Bethanay Fitch) . the woman Bo loves. Dr. Lyman (Mark Lear) , a drunken, psychotic pro- fessor, steals the show with his drunken antics and in- nocent seduction of Elma (Jan Bryant) . the sweet and naive high school girl working at the restaurant as a waitress. Grace (LeAnne Shoemaker), owner of Grace ' s Diner, watches out for Elma as well as Carl (Larry Gregory) . the bus driver. The play never had a dull moment! Thanks to the ex- ceptional acting of the cast members and the stage direction of Student Director. Claire Borne. Also aiding in much of the organizational duties for the play were Stage Manager Ivan Yanasak. Set Director George Marchette. Terry Mayfield. women ' s understudy, and behind the scenes, pulling the curtain string, was Marc Schooley. Although the cast, prop, set, and publicity crews worked very hard on the production of Bus Stop, the success of the play can be attributed to Mr. Ron Proc- tor, whose time and guidance were motivation for all those involved. Bo (Chris Stegall) gives Chene (Bethany Fitch) a big ■ ' smacki Chris Stegall seems to be calm, cool, and collected on opening night. Dr Lyman (Mark Lear) doesn ' t seem to t e feeling any pain.

Senior Class Officers This past year senior class officers Terry Mayfield, Claire Borne, and Patty Pascavage have kept very busy with various plans and preparations for the senior class. Because the Senior Class has been fundraising for the senior prom through out high school, Patty Pascavage. sec retary treasurer for the senior class reported that the seniors had about $4000 in their account after the comple- tion of their magazine subscription sales This, said Patty, is much more than previous senior classes have had. Claire Borne, senior class vice- president, helped Mr. Proctor, senior class sponsor, with much of the work in volved in the magazine subscription sales which was the seniors ' biggest fundrais- ing project. The senior play also con- tributed to the seniors ' savings. Some of the duties that the officers faced in preparation for the senior prom were interviewing deejays and photo- graphers, finding caterers, and making reservations at the Hobby Hilton Hotel where the prom was scheduled. I never knew that prom would be so expensive, said senior class president Terry Mayfield. Throughout the summer and school year, the officers met with Mr. Proctor and school principals to discuss the many aspects that would be involved in prep- aration for prom We had to decide on things like how much country, rock, and soul music to play and things like that, said Patty. Although all the decisions had to be approved by the principals, we pretty much had control in making these decisions. said Terry. The officers also played a big part in the preparation of the graduation ceremonies. They s elected the cover design for the program and also prepared speeches to be said at Commencement Everything we did this year was a lot of work but it was a lot of fun, too. said Patty. Even though each officer had a ti- tle, none outranked the other. Explained Claire. We all worked together. Seniors 145
