OVEMBER U Covering The Evidence Saturday Sacrifice Most students slept late on Saturday, but juniors and seniors getting ready to graduate struggled to get out of their beds and get to the ACT or SAT destination at 8:30 a. m. The solemn look on each studentls face expressed their feel- ings, while turning each page of the test booklet. After, ap- proximately three and a half hours, each student left hoping they passed atleast part of the test. The ACT was hard but it was worth it, Sarah Ramshur, senior, said. 'tThe SAT was the hardest test I have ever taken but I will never take it again! Kim Beacham, senior, exclaimed. Writ- ten by Joy Newbury.

Dress-up Days Show High Spirit Underclassmen stared in shock as they watched seniors dressed in fatigues walk down the hall or saw them sitting on the floor, with their Strawberry Short- cake and He-man lunch boxes, eating their bologna sandwiches. This was seen almost every Friday during football season. There was Toga Day, House Shoe Day, Nerd Day, Lunch Box Day, MASH Day, Hawaiian Day and Fifties Day. I think the seniors that dressed up showed lots of spirit but more should have dressed up, Brian Edgar, sophomore, said. 'KI think it was great, because it showed who the seniors were!

A Company of Wayward Saints, drama's fall comedy production, came into full swing. October 31, opening night, filled the air with fears, hopes, and pride as the play upheld the true spirit of six week's work. Because of the complexity of the show, it was a real challenge. Everyone had some pretty memorable moments, especially Matt Thompson, whose pants fell down on stage at the end of the first act on opening night. In spite of its pro- blems, the play was still fun, Senior Eugene Kato said. Behind the scenes, 66 crew members and 32 cast members put together scenery, costumes, and props to all those last special touches to make the production a true success.
