Kennedy Players The Kennedy Players has a long tradition at Kennedy High School. This organization, also known as K.P.'s, is sponsored by Mr. Patrick Butler. They present a play in the Fall and in the Spring, a musical is performed. Many ofthe plays are written by Mr. Butler, with a great savings on royalties, but occasion- ally a Broadway musical is done. Many dedicated student belong to the K.P.'s. The play requires a two and a half hours, daily reherasal for six weeks before the play and and about four hours for dress rehearsals. The members are very versatile because they act, dance, sing, and even help in the making of scenery. The stage crew is a vital part of K.P's. They make the stage come to life with their scenery and lighting They also change the scenery for each scene. Mr. Patrick Butler is the director but there are also three student directors ranging from a sophomore to senior to provide training for future plays. These directors are: Debbie Dudzik-senior, Patricia Pergolizzi-junior, and Diane Macek-sophomore. 'NS Pictures: 1. Amy Cullen, Jamie Skrezyna and . Kim Koziol rehearse a crucial scene. 2.

The Kennedy Pom-pon majorettes perform at all the football and basket- ball games. To be a majorette you must have all passing grades, come to zero period practice everyday, and go to all the football and basketball games. Those who wish to try out for major- ettes must attend the workshops held in early spring. At the workshops basic baton, a pom-pon routine and a march are taught to be performed at try-outs. Throughout the year the majorettes hold fund raisers such as flower sales, bake sales and car washes during the summer. The money for the fund raisers goes towards a bus for transpor- tation to and from the football games and this past summer they went to Great America. A few majorettes were even involved in the protest downtown against the teachers' strike. The 1987- 88 officers are: Danielle Ferone - cap- tain, Jamie Skrezyna - co-captain, Joy J enicek - secretary-treasurer, Lori Dur- kiewicz - historian. Pictures: 1.
