C CHILDREN’S SHOW] The ‘Pale C 20 Pink Dragon’ Variety is key to success According to children’s show director Miss Pam Scott, this year’s show was chosen for its variety of available roles. In ad- dition to fitting the role, cast members were chosen for their “projection and directability.”’ She feels that the large turnout at auditions gave the directors the chance to select per- formers who best reflected those qualities. Ironically, the final cast list featured almost an even number of students from each grade. “The Pale Pink Dragon” held to the typical fairy-tale format, including in its cast of characters a king and queen (Kevin Beausir and Kim Oprea), a good and a bad princess (Ann Preparing for her role, Tammy Cockerham (the evil witch) allows Kris Heminger to apply some of her special effects. King Clement (Kevin Beausir) and his daughter Pinky (Ann Blackwood) are often subject to Pea Green’s (Heather Martin) tirades.

SENIOR AUCTION 22 Class of 1986 sells itself Senior slave drive draws festive crowd “Going once, going twice... sold to the sophomore in the third row!’’ Phrases like this were heard loud and clear in the Little Theater December 17-19. For a mere 25 cents, spec- tators saw seniors sold one by one to the eager crowd. Underclassmen bid and bought between 60 and 80 seniors and staff members whom they could command for an entire lunch hour on December 20. Staff members such as Mrs. Janet Hales, Mr. Richard Lutey, and Mr. Pete McCasland, who took part in the auction, did so on a voluntary basis. The money from the Senior Bob Warner took pleasure in auc- tioning off science teachers Mr. Richard Lutey and Mr. Pete Mc- Casland who sold for $32. Auction, which amounted to over $400, went to finance the senior banquet, at Arthur’s Restaurant in May. Highest bids of the auction went for science teachers Mr. Lutey and Mr. McCasland, sold as a pair for $32, and Terri Ol- inghouse, who sold for $21. Senior Class President Jen- nie Thomas said, ‘‘We thought it would generate a lot of school spirit and give every one a chance to get involved.
