N NTED 25.39 f ,f ... Success is a matter of speaking heatric prowess gushes forth as Bruce Norris described his feel- ings about his self-acknowledged tal- ent, drama. Although Norris does not want to be classed strictly as a drama person, it is hard not to label, him that way since he is constantly gesturing, animatedly conversing, and changing his manner of speech and facial expres- sion to fit his mood or topic of discus- sion. Norris became interested in drama through his brother, and began lessons at the Alley Theatre in fifth grade. After three years there, he switched to the Theatre Under the Stars CTUTSJ program. I haven't done much school stuff in the past few years because I just didn't have time for it, said Norris. Most of the stuff I did was with TUTS school productions. Like we did 'Dames at Sea' and 'The Wiz., 'f Other major pro- UNSCRUPULOUS AND DIABOLIC PLOTFER of evil deeds, Harvey Green glowers menacingly from a .Wanted?' poster. Bruce Norris por- trayed 'Green in the school production of Ten Nights in a Bar Room. Norris's appearance in the play was one of a shrinking number of his performances due to a growing interest in 'fother things. Photo by Tom Freireich. ductions included The King and I, The Sound of Musicfl and Oliver. Norris dropped out of the TUTS program for varied reasons. The school had gone downhill - the good teachers had left, it was losing moneyf' Norris said. I don't like the feeling of havingrspent four years in high school and not having done anything. So I'm desperately trying to be in something? My sophomore year I was wrapped up in becoming a star and growing up too quick. I just look back and go 'how stupid? Since dropping out of TUTS, Norris has had major roles in two Memorial productions, Ten Nights in a Bar-room and Midsummer Night's Dream. After eight years involved in drama, Norris has started to retreat from the idea of devoting all his energies to it. 'Tm getting away from doing shows - they're such a pain. I don't hate drama, I hate all the preliminary stuff. If I could just get up on stage and do it, that would be greatf' he said. I hate being identified as a 'drama' person. I've got l00l things I'd like to do. I don't want to say I want to go back - I just wish I had done more. -30.- - Sheryl Sanders Tom Rivers Kelly Rives gf .

Each jump is S12 but before these life staking leaps into mid air Nancy had to pay S80 for insurance, her first lesson the first jump. Sky diving has been one of Nancy's dreams since she was 12 and this was the year she was to attempt her dream. Photo by Trent Rosenthal. Sky diving from cloud nine 2800 feet above the ground, a sky diver prepared to fulfill a dream, and, at the same time, do one of the most unnatural things she can perform in her lifetime. It's just not natural for a person to jump out of airplanes, U.S. Parachute Association member Nancy Wright said. For me, itis a dream fulfilled. Since Nancy was 12, she has had an urge to try sky diving. I wrote it down gin my diary - 'I will go sky divinglf she said. In the summer before her sen- ior year, she took her first jump after taking an S80 beginner's sky diving course from Spaceland Parachute Cen- ter. It costs S80 for insurance. lessons and your first jump, said Nancy. It's S 12 for every jump after that. When diving, Nancy said, a diver has three chances for his rip cord to pull, and it is scary until the parachute opens. The hardest thing to do is to go back and jump again, she explained. Once your parachute opens, it's real peaceful up there. After you've done it you feel real good. Because it is an expensive hobby, Nancy said, she does not get to sky dive often. I do it when I have money, she said, adding that she usually jumps four times per outing. Some people have to climb a moun- tain, said Nancy. Well, I have to sky dive. -- 30 - - Susie Waodhams In memory of Kash Sudden tragedy found its way to Mem- orial on the evening of December 9 when Kash Keyzer was killed by an oncoming truck driven by a reckless driver. Kash, a poet, songwriter, and friend to many, had an all-around good nature and an easy- going personality that made compassion inherent in his nature. Fighting back tears while delivering the eulogy at Kash's funeral, his Uncle Lou spoke of how he felt Kash had found hap- piness in life. He felt Kash was prepared to meet his creator, even at that early age. Those who remember Kash will miss him in many ways, and all who knew him surely benefitted from the life of this vibrant, poetic, and happy young man. lwcughtal-zuberl Seniors 103
