We can recite them all by heart, use upstage hand, face the audience, stay in character, concentrate, project, and project some more. Each play presented us with a dif- ferent kind of excitement than the last. Like the time Marvin Cox won All Star Cast and Pam Griffin won Honorable Mention. Or the tremendous reaction of the kids to our production of Wizard of Oz. All the sweat and worry was worth it, though, when the applause be- gan after a performance well done. When the year ended and we fin- ished our last show, a sadness came over us. We seemed to thrive on the strain of a performance, and now, too soon to be true, it was all over. Organizations HI

Stage ' I ; i Jo c:atherine Angle and crew Karin Ingram prove that the crews work just as hard as the actors on shows, such as Madwoman of Chaillot. The applause died. Stage directions and lines were pouring through my mind. After all of the hours of rehearsal and work, the moment of truth was here. Ice covered my hands as perspiration blanketed my body.

I never really thought about all the work involved in putting out a paper or an annual until I joined the staff. After that I began to understand why they didn ' t like people from all corners of the school barging in during fourth and fifth periods. I knew why they were always counting to ten and muttering under their breath, and why deadline was a dirty word. Mr. Larry Giddings, paper staff sponsor, and Mrs. Margaret Miller, annual sponsor, spent many long hours at school helping their staffs after all their colleagues had departed. Work and deadlines finally getting to them, paper staffers prepare to rid one of their fellows of his head. Clockwise they are Beth Hall, Bill Everett, Linda Wilson, Donna Fisher, Debbie Mills, Jeannie Bell, and David Pokluda. Leading the BUFF TALES workers are editors (first column top to bottom) Mark Buckner and Susan Swift and assistant editor Mari Lynn Packer and (second column) assistant editors: James Bird, Kuuy Zepeda. and Janet Smith. 1 1 2 Organizations
