The students are very competitive. Snow storms and Joe Bfodine black ice did not Deter the winners' march Tammy Hicks utrageous laughter and dramatic cries of the insane vibrated in the hallways of Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne. The Lyman High School Speech Team participated in their first meet of the 1987 season. Because of a conflict with the drama team, the speech team had a late start. Many of the same students were involved in both activities. Nonetheless, preparation after school, in the mornings and on the way to meets helped students become ready to perform. Members of the team prepared their selected pieces in poetry interpretation, dramatic interpretation and original oratory. Other team members competed in extemporaneous speaking. Junior Jon Jensen used a cutting from John Brown's Body,' and a passage from The Elephant Man. Jensen ranked high in all meets and placed third in both poetry and dramatic interpretation at the state meet in Casper. Members of the speech team had several exciting experiences. Some were funnyg others were more traumatic. The team was snowed in at the Laramief University of Wyoming meet and had to stay an extra day. During the state meet in Casper, snows created traffic problems which included the school van being stuck in the unplowed parking lot before the second round of the meet. Jensen and Advisor Relta Cox were frightened on a late-night trip home from the District NFL meet when their vehicle struck black ice and spun out of control. f'It's a good thing I had my seat belt on, Jensen said. 'SI was asleep and then we were spinning over the road and off the side. Freshman Marcia Jones was scared speechless when a large white owl flew into her face while she was approaching her motel door in Laramie. Each student met new friends and had good things to say about the students involved in forensics. The students are very competitive, noted Freshmen Joe Brodine. Jones said she liked the guys, the hugs, and the laughs. Speech is a good way to meet new people and build your confidencef' said Senior Craig Johnson. The team took State ZA Sweepstakes for the second year in a row. One course used to train some members of the forensics team was drama class. As well as working on interpretation, the class of five began the semester learning about how to design and construct stage sets. This knowledge aided them in building sets for the spring musical Popeye, Later in the year, the students worked in conjunction with the Lyman Police Dept. to put on a safety program using puppets purchased by the police department for their safety presentations. Funeral Tea was one of the short plays also prepared by the drama class. State speech team.

Colden sound. French horns do not grace bands in abundance. Tami Scott chooses her instrument as it has such a pretty sound and brings the band together although it's hard to get the pitch. Mr. Brumbaugh says it's the hardest band instrument to play. The band was the best it has ever been since I've been in high school Musical skills increase as Kelly Souther competitiveness climbs, and the Band breaks into first place Dennis Johnson rumpets, a little bit softer through that part. Flutes, play those notes shorter. Percussion, we need a crash there. Let's start again at 64. The 2A State Championship Marching Band drilled day after day. Nevertheless, when they entered and won the state competition in Casper Oct. l5, they were surprised. I wasnit expecting to win. I just wanted the band to get some experience and a critique fromthe judges, said Advisor Charles Brumbaugh. Marching was a lot of work, but it was a success in the end,', added Marcie Jones. The band was the best it has ever been since live been in high schoolf, said Kelly Souther. The wholeyear was a big success, added Vii Tanner. Band activities included Solo and Ensemble Festival Feb. 23 in Star Valley, Jazz Festival Feb. 27-28 in Powell Music Festival April 23 in Evanston, and chorus tour May 4-5. We tried to get everyone involved fin the Solo and Ensemble Festivaljj' said Brumbaugh. The Jazz Band was disappointed by the inconsistent judging at the Jazz Festival. The judges usually all give you the same rating, but they gave us a l, ll and Ill, said Brumbaugh However, at Music Festival they received I's from the judges. The Concert Band, which performed three concerts throughout the year, also received all l's at the Music Festival. Jadelyn Johnson and Brian Warnick were nominated for the McDonald's All- American High School Band which is made up of two students from each state in the country and performs in parades like the Tournament of Roses. Many band members were selected for the lnterschool Band in Evanston. I didn't expect that many people to be going, most of the band got to go, said Brumbaugh. All-State Band members were Kellee Eyre, Janet Schwab and Brian Warnick. Front 1---at
