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.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Mo ing right along Buffs end 51 game losing streak By Christy Angle November 20 a record was broken. The girls' basketball team terminated a year long loss record of 51 straight games in the midst of pre- season. The dismal Buff legacy was put to rest when they faced Eastern Hills on their own court. Coach Don Derryberry stated, Playing in our own gym where we practice was an advantage. The resulting score of 55-33 allowed a long awaited taste of victory. Although beating Eastern Hills was a big thrill at the time, Coach Derryberry said, basic fundamentals such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, dominated pre-season practices. To build up endurance and get in shape, the girls were on a run-jog-walk program hoping to build up to 15 minutes without stopping by the beginn- ing of after-school practices, October 15. Originally starting out with 53 players, the teams were narrowed to seven on varsity and eight on jV. This was caused by players quitting or discipline with the exception of Senior Laura Alderman, who tore ligaments in her knee during a Keller scrimmage. She was out the entire season. The young varsity team consisting of sophomores Kathy Anderson, joanna Hooker. Tammi Shelton, and juniors Debbie Barnes, Carol Porter, Alicia Eckert and Christy Angle met fierce, experienced competition at both the Mes- quite Pepsi Challenge, and the North Lake Col- lege Tournaments. Nevertheless, Hooker was named to the all-tournament team at North Lake, It hurt us only having two scheduled tour- naments. We needed at least one more closer to district play, Coach Derryberry explained. Although the team lacked experience, Coach Derryberry definitely did not, as he entered Haltom with 17 previous winning seasons behind him. Having always coached boys, Coach Der- ryberry had to make a few adjustments as he took on his first girls' team. I had to learn to be more patient. I was expec- ting too much of the girls at first. I also had to adjust my coaching verbally, joked Coach Derryberry. Overall pleased with the season, Coach Der- ryberry said, Fundamentals were stressed, therefore next season we can take a new approach and work on offensive and defensive weaknesses morefn., we '- xi ff' Senior Laura Alderman receives shock treatments for her injured knee from student trainerjessica Taylor.
