Flint River Academy stduents know how to ham it up as well as turn in a fantastically polished performance. The one-act play started early in the school year prac- ticing long and hard hours after school. The one-act play placed first in 2-AA region and first in state. Mem- bers of the one-act play cast were: Jeffery Todd, Susie Dunn, Gay Garrett. Meri Reames, David Fagundes, Don- na Howard, Simone Rogers, Cliff Elliott, and Stacey Collins. The group was under the direction of Miss Cheryl Scamihorn. David Fagundes was recognized for his performance in the play at state with the best actor award. This year's play was titled Spoon River. The cast portrayed people in a cemetery telling of their lives. their mistakes, and their achievements in life. Sometimes, a clever answer solves a crisis. Some of the people at Flint River Academy who are able to think quickly on their feet and defeat their opponents with a logical retort are on the i982-83 Flint River Academy Debate team. The skilled team made a convincing showing at the 2-AA Region Debate Tournament. The team was composed of seniors to sophomores. The debate team members were Jeffery Todd, Gerald Or- doyne, Debbie Burns, Leigh Ann Coker, Gay Garrett, Liz Livingston, and Cliff Elliott. They placed first in region and second in state, giving FRA a big lead on the other schools in the region and state for literary. The coach and sponsor of the debate team was Mrs. Carroll Fowler. l.
