M55 Extra studying for extracurriculars keeps teams and activities playing ball and working. Leza Chapman t midterm of the first quarter, 55 students-20 percent of the student body- were ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities. Not all of the students who are ineligible should be. Some of the students admitted that they hadn't put forth the effort, while others said they were too busy during homecoming week to study, said Ralph Erickson. The Wyoming High School Activities Association said the grade point of 2.0 was necessary for a student to be eligible to participate in any sport or extracurricular activity. Certain other organizations, like student council and cheerleading had to 30 isngibiiny Eligibilii maintain a 2.5 GPA. This rule sometimes caused problems for students. lt would be better if they had just one level of eligibility for all sports. It doesn't seem fair that cheerleading has to have a higher GPA than football. It makes it harder for people to participate in those activitiesf' said Traci Gregg. Student Body President Brian Warnick supported the high eligibility requirement. 'gWe,re the leaders of the school and we should set an example. Our grades should be above average, not just mediocre, he said. Other students in the school said the eligibility requirements should be even higher. l think it should be raised to 3.0, because the people who work hard enough to get B's should required be the only ones allowed to participate, said Melody Apezteguia. But Darrin Ferguson said, I don't like that. If they raised it that high then half of the athletic teams wouldn't play. That'd be really too hard. l think it's good right where itls at. Most people agree that having an eligibility requirement is practical. Eligibility is a good idea, but there are exceptions to the rule, said Social Studies teacher Rick Hansen. 'gOur first requirement is to educate, But for some, education is not just in the classroom, but also in extra curricular activities too. The eligibility requirement helps keep the balance between school and sportsf, E B . , Y i il J f X i . sus: sy ,, L ,..... -, .rs. ..., ,.s. ' c 2 LL . Z ti 27 3 A fl 2 l if

Let us welcome you to our most humble theater. Tonight we bring you a play of intrigue, romance, and of young love . . . began 'gChinese Romancew which the Performing Arts used to introduce Peking fBeijingj Opera to Wyoming. Chinese Romancew was a humble production about two young lovers, played by Vii Tanner CMan Lil and Leza Chapman QMa Lingj, and the feud between their fathers played by Jon Jensen fMa Ling's father, Pingj and Jay Buckley QMan Li's father, Pongj. Additional cast members included Victor VanGieson fTu Lang Fang, the abductorj, Susan Apgood fThe Wallj, Spinner Jones and Dusty Johnson Qmusiciansl, and 32 Drama flashy Beijing Opera Monique Lewis and Tammy Hicks fproperty assistantsj. Jensen said, lt C'Chinese Romanceuj was different, but once we caught on, it became fun. Also, unlike a two-act play, if you have a bad scene, the whole play is ruined because you do not have the second act to redeem yourself. Lyman competed against I6 other schools from all four classes in the Proscenium Theater category at State Drama. They tied for first with Laramie, showcasing that evening. Their next trip took them to Boulder, Colo., where they performed with other high schools and colleges from several different states. Lyman took Evanston's Juvie cast with them to Boulder. Jones said, My most memorable moment from the Boulder trip was watching the play 'Quiltersf i' The play was a success largely due to time and effort put in by director Cary Cox who designed the costumes and make-up. VanGieson said, The make-up was really neat but it was kind of embarrassing running around with red cheeks and eye-liner because it was so hard to take offf, Chapman added, The choice was leaving the smeared make-up on or removing a layer of your skin? Chinese Romance's cast members performed on mainstage at the National Thespian Conference in Muncie, Ind., during June. The cast was surprised about mainstaging as a group generally did not mainstage until they returned the second year. The invitation meant the cast had hit the very top in their first year of competition. The honor placed stress on the group to do their very best, but especially was stressful on substitutes Joe Brodine and Bridget Cox.
