18 LOWER RIGHT: Peek-a-boo! Freshman Connie Sharkey is caught by surprise during Oothing I class. LOWER CENTER: Oops, missed! Leon Munyon, junior, attempts to catch a piece of pop- corn in his mouth while working for Student Coun- cil at a football gome. LOWER LEFT: Kathy Alvey bundles up one of the children that participated in the Child Care class' playschool. Faces — young, old, happy, sad, angry, silly scared, worried. All express something — the strain of athletic competition, one’s feelings for another person, fun times and tense moments. They tell what’s happening in the busy world around. The dictionary defines expression as “a form, pose, phrase, token, or the like which manifests a thought, feeling, or quality: especially, a signif- icant word or phrase.” The feeling of cold seems to urge Chuck Klas- sen and Penny Marrs to bundle up in order to stay warm. Thoughts of what happened at the St. Joe game appear to be deep in the mind of sopho- more Ira Jefferson. Quality is expected from all athletes and coaches. Keith Law, Dave Sikma, and Fred Bell were no exception as they looked for it in their players. These are just a few of the faces that can be seen around Momence High.

Wide variety of plays offered by Thespians Three different plays provided a wide variety of entertainment as the dramas ranged from extensive kidnapping of animals to simple comedy. The unusual comedy characters of Horace and Maynard appeared in “Our Miss Brooks and “Dora the Dishwater. Although they were written into the scripts, they provided the audiences with unexpected laughs. “Winnie-the-Pooh rounded out the production. Our Miss Brooks was about an average high school teacher and her students trying to put on a play. Complications arose when Rhonda Allen, the little rich girl, who always got what she wanted, didn’t get the part she tried out for. This created havoc throughout the entire play. Miss Brooks, doing everything from directing to plumbing, had her hands full, but in the end the problems seemed to work them- selves out. Winnie-the-Pooh captivated the young crowds from Range and Je’Neir elem- entries, besides the young-at-heart. It centered in the forest and dealt with a bossy Kongo who wanted to clean everything up. “Dora the Beautiful Dishwasher, or The Heroine Who Cleaned Up” also fea- tured many vaudeville acts, singers, magicians and comedians. The play was the usual one-act melodrama. The villain tried to cause problems with the heroine and the hero was called on to solve all the mess. In the end all the good people were left with everything they ever wanted out of life. UPPER RIGHT: John Depoister, playing the part of a stage manager in “Our Miss Brooks, aims the spotlight.
