Practice every day during their sixth hour class and a full week of staying after school led to the school plays this year. Three one-act plays were put on for public display on both November 21 and 22. There were two comedies and one mystery. As for the attendance, on each night there appeared to be more people than the previous year, especially the second night. Through all the hectic scheduling, the tough memorization and difficulty in getting the timing correct, they all had fun in presenting: Thursdays at Home,” “French Toast,” “Weird is the Night.” In Thursdays at Home” Mayabelle Larkin makes a statement to a reporter that all people should buy from door-to-door salesmen. Well, after having that being printed in the paper, Mayabelle was swamped with all sorts of salespeople. French Toast” was about a dream of Stoney Jones. On the night before his wedding, Stoney dreamt he was married to a lovely French girl, which would ruin his wedding the next day. But upon awakening, he found his fiance at his side. “Weird Is the Night” was the mystery in which two young girls were invited to their rich aunt’s home for a weekend visit. Upon arrival at their aunt’s home, the housekeeper scares the girls by telling them the house is haunted. The girls' aunt tells them how untrue the story is, but their imaginations still got the best of them. 21

STARS The organizing of this year's carnival began last year after Wrangler was done. The date was set as April 10, and the time to start was 6:30 p.m. Maybe it was good planning because 1981 was the best year ever for the DEA sponsored carnival. Everyone in the community was encouraged to 'Come See the Stars!' and participate in the 21 booths of activities. This year there was an added attraction, 17 members of the teaching staff volunteered to put on a variety show! Miss Aleckson and Mrs. Nichols were the coordinators of this project. All the acts were practiced during free periods, lunch, or whenever time was available to make the show very professional and a success. 22
