ONE-ACT PLAYS Performances Are A Joke Inside the one-act plays of 1988 were several thespians performing three comedies for the public on January 22. Each play was judged, and A Canterbury Tale from the Wife of Bath won the right to ad- vance on to the regional one-act play contest in Mobridge. The play did not advance on to the state competition, but Shane Vlcek and Kaela Goodrich each won superior acting awards at the regional con- test. Happily Never After” is a play that adds certain twists to fairy tales to give them a contemporary touch. The love matches are not happy with their spouses. They de- cide to go to a marriage counselor who was played by Lori Newton. The counselor rearranges the ro- mances to satisfy them, but she just ends up making everything worse. The comedy Not My Cup of Tea evolves around Emmie. Jessi- ca. and Mother. Emmie, (alias Bren- da Newton), is practically brainless. Jessica, (alias Sherri McDonnell), is the dominant sister and has a ten- dency to be rather bossy. Mother. (Sandi Nickelson). is the typical old lady who likes to relive old memo- ries of the times of yore. The sisters want to be free from Mother's rule, but their solution is a rather shock- ing and drastic one at that when they sit down for an unusual cup of tea. A Canterbury Tale from the Wife of Bath is set in the Middle Ages during the times of dragons and knights. Sir Gallant Dilemna. played by Aric Baloun. has killed the King's prize stag and must die for it. He is given twenty-four hours to live if he can answer a simple ques- tion: What is it that a woman wants most of all? Easy question, right? The results are outrageous and a guest appearance by Gene the jackass Luze is hilarious! ABOVE RIGHT. The cast and crew let off some steam while reminiscing over their par- ticipation in the plays.

SCIENCE FAIR Talents Exhibited The 1988 Highmore Science Fair, held on March 8. gave many young scientists the chance to exhibit their talents in the field of science. It involved 196 students in grades K- 12 with approximately 124 exhibi- tions. Each project was divided ei- ther the elementary, junior, or sen- ior levels of competition. Scientists in grades K-4 all re- ceived green ribbons of participa- tion. All other exhibits received ei- ther a purple, blue. red. or white award ribbon.
