Future stars are born School plays produced Building sets, rehearsing nightly, and applying make-up were just some of the ways drama students spent their time. Others worked on playwriting, screen testing, and starring in major motion pic- ture productions. Along with the production of three major plays ( Our Town , Rhymers of Eldrich , and Camelot ) came the pro- cess of relocating to the newly renovated theatre arts room.

Well, you now need only to look as far as our newly structured homemaking building. This year students have the opportunity to utilize new facilities and equip- ment in a fresh setting. It ' s a much nicer atmo- sphere for learning, said Senior Kim Hicks. Stu- dents and teachers welcomed the available space and room for expan- sion. The fact that the air and heating systems func- tioned properly was enough to make everyone greatful for the new con- veniences, the improve- ment was desperately need- ed, ' ' admits Senior Michelle Martin. Classes offered taught students skills in areas such as fashion design, home economics, child develop- ment, home and family liv- ing, VEH foods, HECE, and Singles Living.

I ' m a better person and can look at family life in a new per- spective, said Senior An- gela Tshirhart. Senior Paige Fauver sews another mas terpiece.
