' Tis a Gift to be Simple, 'Tis a Gift to be Free. After this the Freshmen put on the play The Frog Prince. Following inter- mission the Sophomores sang Let the Sunshine In. They performed the play Winnie- the-Pooh after the Freshman Orator, Jennifer Haskin, gave her version of ' Tis a Gift to be Simple, 'Tis a Gift to be Free. As the judges left you could feel the tension in the air. The participants spent three short weeks preparing for this even- ing with the help of their coaches and morale guys. The judges returned after a short while and Jill Mannor the general chairperson announc- ed that the Freshmen class of 1990 had won!!!
