Act well your part for there all honor lies. This is the theme and goal of the '79-'80 Drama Club. Hard work and dedication work hand in hand to help produce the successful plays Ranum has experienced. Plays are not the only activities the Drama Club does. Selling Gold C coupon books and Drama Stickers are just a few of the fund raising projects that we do. The club has grown immensely throughout the course of the year. The International Thespian Society was named after Thespis who became a very famous and talented actor. It takes 100 hours of hard work to become a Thespian, and once you've become a Thespian you must continue being active in Drama production to keep that Thespianship. Every year the Colo. Thespian Society plans a convention. This year the convention was held in Colorado Springs at Wasson High School. The trip was an overnighter and enabled actors to learn new techniques and meet new people. As you can see, over half of our members are active Thespians. To be a Thespian means that you are dedicated to the Drama Club. President: Clay Reynolds, Vice-President: Edie Clarke, Secretary: Ginger Hawkins, Treasurer: Paul Wampler. Drama Club provides a place for Ranum actors to show their skills and a place to make close friends. You don't have to be an actor to join Drama, you just have to be able to work. CLUBS-149

CGNCERT CHOIR Sponsor: jamie Vanderhost The major works of the concert season are performed by the Concert Choir. In music literature there are many extended pieces for full choir and orchestra. At Ranum we try to combine the instrumental and vocal departments at least once per year to perform these works. The big, heavy sound of a full chorus is accomplished by the Concert Choir. In addition to the serious music, we also perform a Pops concert on Valentine's Day and a Senior Farewell Concert at the end of May featuring the senior members with small ensembles and solos. We also sing at Baccalaureate.

They specialize in performing solos, duets, and trios. Their repertoire spans early Renaissance madrigals to contemporary arrangements of standard tunes. They are the most versatile group and the cornerstone of the department. They perform many concerts during the year. Daytime Chamber Concerts, formal evening concerts with the Concert Choir and orchestra and concerts in the community make the Madrigal Singers representatives of Ranum on the serious Classical scene. They also compete in the State Solo and Ensemble Contest held in February. In the past, they have distinguished themselves with first and second place medals in ensemble work and solos. sHow sToPPERs The song and dance segment of the music department is a musical theatre group known as the Show Stoppers. The members are selected for their theatrical, dancing, and singing ability. If you walk into a class session you'll find the group executing everything from ballet positions to jazz movements including lifts and ballroom steps. Styles of American musical theatre are explored and performed through selections such as Paint Your Wagon , Mame and West Side Story . The Show Stoppers present Pop entertainment through concerts at school and in the communi- ty. The medium of min-musical was undertaken this year at Christmas time with Ebenezer:, the adaptation of Scrooge . We're thinking of an operetta for next year so the sky's the limit. Front row: Kristie Diedrichs, Donna Metoyer, Dion jojola, 2nd row: Tim jones, Trina Pfertsh, jeff Drolet, Marsha Webb. Last row: jim Moran, Tracy Wojcik, Ken Solis.
