- hiddenTAI FNfT - Familiar faces and excited debutes add to talent displayed in plays and shows The house lights went down, the curtain came up, and a feeling of anticipation ran through the audience. This was the mood set for the participants of class plays and the variety show. These two events, one sponsored by the choir department and the other by the Drama Club, provided the opportunity for hidden talents to come to light. Some of this talent came from seasoned performers, such as Tami Murray, senior, who electrified the audience with song, Larry Westerman and Debbie Ncason, seniors, who performed in three and four class plays respectively. The rest came from new people, underclassmen who had gone on stage for the first time. Recognition came to two new faces. Chip Slaven and Kim Mitchell, freshmen, when they were named to the Best Actor-Actress list.

teamEFPGRl (Continued from page 25) Starting out the year with ten returning J. II students, a period of intensive training was used to prepare a staff responsible for a series of five issues of Bearcat, as well as the 192 page yearbook. Although classwork was massive, workshops acquainted students with the world of scholastic publications by exposing them to the works of award-winning schools and to the nation’s top yearbook authorities. “Newspaper was one of the most unique classes I ever took,” said Bearcat feature editor Stacey Forte, junior, “During the time we were preparing to publish, everyone appeared to be sitting around talking, but when those Saturday morning and Monday afternoon deadlines approached, everyone on the staff would go to work and somehow everything would be done.” IT WAS THE AFTERNOON OF MARCH 15, when the newest members of the National Honor Society were inducted in the traditional candlelight ceremony held in the Godwin Auditorium. From there, they spent the year in school and public service. “It felt great,” said Melba Fox, junior, “Like the others inducted, I worked a long time for this!” That’s all it took. Team work.
