On The nighT of April 22, Ever- green drama class puT on a show TiTled An Eye for an Eye for an Eye. The show was a producfion of Three plays feaTuring Tim McCrea as King Solomon, Frank Vigna as Abra- ham and Jon van Gesen as David. The nighT was a Tremen- dous success for The drama sTudenTs as well as for Dr. Taeschner. They worked hard, overcoming some disadvan- Tages, To make The nighT suc- cessful. Over The years The size of The drama class had decreased y n Eye for an Eye for an Eye abouT 5096. There used To be Two classes--beginning and advanced. And each class consisTed of aT leasT Thirly sTudenTs. ln T986-87, however, There was only one drama class wiTh less people. Had The inTeresT in TheaTre and acTing been losT among Evergreen sTudenTs? When asked This quesTion, Dr. Taeschner con- firmed ThaT iT definiTely had. One of The problems he poin- Ted ouT was The limiTed career opporTuniTies relafing To The field of acTing. In his TwenTy- Three years of Teaching high school drama, Dr. Taeschner saw only Two of his sTudenTs make iT as professional acTors. And only one or Two wenT on To Teach drama. Neverfheless, The drama sTudenTs were noT discouraged. Their goal was noT To make iT big ouT in The world. No, The goal was To make ThaT one nighT suc- cessful, and ThaT's exacTly whaT They did.

The ASB planned and prepared for the talent of Evergreen High School to be unveiled and remembered. The never tiring ASB spent hours looking for acts to un- veil and with an abundance of success they did just that. As always, quality showed through. The acts were original and performed by many of the most talented people at Evergreen. Keeping things out of con- fusion and chaos were Ty Tribble and Scott Whitright who did an exceptionally good job of M.C.-ing the n The Limelight Talent Show. The program consisted of many impressive and creative students. First on were the sophomores with a skit from 'Leave it to Beaver.' l'Hey, Hey, Wally, who's that girl over there? Next in line was the stage band. Jazz was the in- credible talent shown with some very impressive saxophone solo's perfor- med by Sharron Graddon, Dawn Bennett, and Amir Nazemi. Performing a belly dan- cing routine was Dawn Ben- nett. Dawn had been belly dancing for six years before she showed off her talent at the talent show. I just called to say l love you, was performed, no, not by Stevie Wonderlll, but by EHS's very courageous John Motley. Just when EHS thought it was safe, 'Return of the Nerds' surfaced again. Gerry Budbill and Jose Chapa gave EHS an adven- ture through the daily life of a nerd. For those who like hard core music talent there was freshman Tyler Ainsworth, who gave EHS a taste of what six hours of practice a day for six years will do for you. Danita Fitch and Gloria Parker did an exceptionally well performed dance routine to one of their favorite songs. With riding as their talent and hobby, Eugene Ramsey and Tommy Jackson demonstrated various stunts and acrobatics on bicycles. Don Cooper, Moi Masaniai, and Pani Roe lit up our lives in a Hawaiian luau dance with fire. Quality and not quantity supported the talent show as one to remember. But the next act came at 2:15 in which the entire school body took a part in...SPRlNG BREAK!!!! by Dianne Corey I ..., 'MM , ' Z ex , my , ' , IA .QV ,JA kwwmy--jr rims? . - .. 4ww Aw: . , , W ' ' W-Y..wf ' 1 .
