NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Honors seek benevolence By Lisa Atturio Donating toys to the needy children and composing and distributing the Buff-lo- down are just a couple of the duties per- formed by the National Honor Society. This organization is based upon students with an overall B+ scholastic average and teacher's evaluation. Each year the proceeds from the Buff-lo-down, the student directory, go toward scholarships, service projects and a field trip. On their field trip, the group ventured to Commanche Peak, the site of the nuclear power plant. The group went to the Puluxi River and examined the fossilized dinosaur tracks. I like being a sponsor for the organiza- tion. The kids were good and we had good cooperation, Mrs. Delories Webb, commented. At the traditional spring initiation assembly in March, 36 juniors and seniors were formally pinned before parents, faculty and fellow students. Afterwards, the honorees and their guests were welcomed in- to NHS at a reception in the library. Officers were Wayne Trimble president, Gene Hensarling vice-president, Tracy Taylor secretary, Cary Stegall treasurer, and Barbara Alexander and Trina Gregory editors ofthe Buff-lo-down.

MUSICAL Show sets attendance reoord 'Guys ond Dolls' revives forties Those were the fabulous forties. Those were the days when gas was 20 cents a gallon, coffee was 21 cents a pound, the movies were 55 cents and a Coca-Cola cost a nickel a bottle. The Fine Arts Department revived the for- ties january 29 and 51 by presenting the musical-comedy, Guys and Dolls. The show on Thursdaygjanuary 29, drew about S80 people. The second show record- ed an attendance of over 700. This number surpassed a record set seven years ago. HI was really pleased with the community support. It made me feel good to see that S many people show up for the show, choir director Ron Seible commented. Due to acoustical problems discovered in rehearsals. carpet was installed in the or- chestra pit to tone down the sound. The music had been drowning out the actors' dialog. The first show was videotaped so the ac- tors could see themselves. They later viewed the tape during a cast party at Mr. Gattis. The show received much attention from the residents of the area, I think part ofthe reason the show was such a success was because ofthe student if er is mwtaajsw- 1 body support, the community support, and the support of the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion, drama teacher Kay VanNorden said. When auditions began. over 150 students showed up to try out. About 100 were finally chosen for the show itself. A lighting crew of six was also chosen. This was a great show. The student en- thusiasm was super. I was sitting in the au- dience when the show began and the au- dience just came alive when the curtain opened, That made me feel great! Mrs. VanNorden exclaimed.
