Here we go, good-bye. Jackie Whitten- ton, Peter Casares, Tracy Peppard, Lori Wisenbaker, Julia Blackshear and Johne Shoe perform in the Mannequins Dem- se. Faking, pretending, putting on Many adolescents often ask the question, Who am I? For some teens, this is not easily answered. For those drama, speech and history students who found themselves involved in role playing, keeping up with their own identities was probably a little more difficult. Ms. Jo Wilson's speech and drama students were active in area tournaments all year long. They brought back overall second place in Grand Sweep- stakes from the Klein Tournament with Tracy Pep- pard placing third in Oratory, Kevin Smith and Clin- ton Forsyth placing third in Duet Acting. Kevin Smith capturing first in Humorous, second in Prose and third in Dramatic Interpretation, Pam Prescott and Mike Frye coming in at first place in Duet Act- ing, and Mike Frye wrapping up first place in Dra- matic Interpretation and second place in Prose. Those students placing at the Klein tournament were qualified to compete statewide at the Texas Forensic Association CTFAJ tournament, which was held at Baylor University. MacArthur came home from Baylor with first place in individual sweepstakes. Social studies students also did some role playing this past year. World History students had the opportunity to learn about the countries of the world by placing themselves in the role of experts on a particular country and telling the class all that they knew about it. Mr. George August's government stu- dents had a trial take place in their classroom with the students playing the parts of jury, judge, lawyer, and defendant, while Caroll Jordan's classes held party conventions at which students became delegates. After all was said and done, some students might have still wondered who they were, but they knew what they were doing.
