To win, a class must shout loudest at a Pep Assembly. It is tradition for the Sophomore class to have the loudest mouths. Masters of Ceremony for the Pep Assemblies usually came in twos . . . whether students or faculty. Who can forget the Spirit Stick, Mr. Reed swinging on the basketball hoop, or Super Sail- or?

Mr. Travis Gunter and Mr. Joseph Namenye were co- directors of the play, with Debbie Josephson doing the student directing. The lead roles were played by Mary Davis as Queen Cloriana XII, who portrayed just the right amount of Royal Dignity. Linda Lange added Comedy with her role as the Page. Veteran actor John Van Lente, portraying Tully Bas- cong Dan Lee, as Count Mountjayg and Dave Van Donkelaar, playing both Mr. Benter and the U.S. Presi- dent, all did an excellent job as the lead male actors. The Kooky Professor Kokintz, played by Cliff Daniels, seemed to be the favorite of the audience and deserved much credit for his perfect character portrayal. This play, with its political satire on the United States and its foreign policies, showed the possibility of a tiny nation becominga big power. Cliff Daniels demonstrates to spectators the basics of make-up. Acting Abilities Mona Shores Larry LaBe1 frowns in disbelief as Pro- fessor Kokintz explains about the bombs.
