Mummers sociable, serve snacks Drama promotes acceptance I i One of the most popular clubs in school. Mummers (the drama group) once again had an interesting year. According to President David Duffy, this was due to the quality of the members. “The Mummers are great people. They’re just so diverse. Everybody is different,” he said. “They’re fun. They know how to work hard. Also, they’re very accepting.” David added, “They’re all very dramatic.” The membership of Mummers covered all three classes and the club often gave new students a chance to fit in. “One really great thing about Mummers this year is that I think the sophomores felt accepted right away,” David said. “They really felt like part of the club.” David was also pleased with the new style of leadership displayed by the club officers. One of the main goals this year was to loosen the club structure. “We wanted to get everyone in- volved,” he explained. “I always felt that in the past, the members just came to the meetings, sat there and Mummers, (First Row) Bill Stone, Erin Egan, Ruth Leinfellner, Martha Narveson, Denise Mjelde.

The officers made all of the decisions beforehand.” The matter of snacks was another vital aspect of the club. The serving of food items during the meetings was a basic part of the Mummers’ way of life, according to David. “We used to feed people snacks a lot last year,” he said. “We fed them a lot, but this year Mummers was in debt. The jewelry sale pulled us out, though. So, we’ll start feeding people at the meetings again.” David cited popcorn as the Mum- mers’ favorite food. “We buy popcorn in mass quan- tities every day after school and we enjoy popcorn a lot,” he said. “It’s the natural food of the Mummers. That’s the truth.” 26—Mummers
