A Finger in Every Pot The Monacan S.C.A. is one of the busiest organizations at school. Under the leadership of Mrs. Delp, the S.C.A. planned many activities for the community, as well as the Monacan students them- selves. The S.C.A. sponsored the annual M M sale in which all students can participate. They also sponsored the Homecoming dance this past year. Additionally, the active organization collected canned ¥7 i Sar Page 116 SCA goods at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. They also sponsored a Toys for Tots campaign for underprivi- ledged kids at Christmas. Last year, the S.C.A. did many things to benefit the school. Most of these things went unnoticed, but they serve to enhance the student life here at Monacan. Among these was a donation to our school library fund and a con- tribution to construct a new stage for theatre productions. They also joined forces with the Science Club to buy bike racks for the school. One of the most popular ac- tivities that the S.C.A. spon- sored was the “Salute to the Chiefs” Dance after a basket- ball game. The band at the dance provided great enter- tainment for the students. Another S.C.A. project that gives the student body much enjoyment before and after school and at lunch is the Ju- tebox that the S.C.A. helped the school to buy. During the spring the 8.C.A. sponsored the Monogram Awards at the Spring Awards Assembly. This organization kept very busy. They provide our school with many pleasurable activi- ties all year long. Monacan students enjoy the juke- box maintained by the SCA to aid in the Ethiopian hunger relief program started by a concerned student body. S.C.A.

On Their Way To Broadway Every year, Monacan stu- dents of the Act I Company perform two excellent plays. This past year was no excep- tion. With the plays, “Rebel Without A Cause” and “She Stoops To Conquer,’ the members of the Act I Com- pany continued their tradi- tion of producing successful plays. This was no small task. The success of these plays depended on the hard work and dedication of the partici- pants and of their talented di- rector Mr. Hood. The months of hard practice, arguments, and clashing opinions were well worth the effort of these people. Under Mr. Hood’s guidance the Act I Company students developed their tal- ents and expanded their knowledge of action and per- Mr. Hood advises one of the performers in her movements on stage.

They depended largely on the light- ing crew, the set crew, and the make-up crew. These behind- the-scenes people worked hard and were crucial in cre- ating the wonderful plays that the students performed. Because the quality of the plays depended on so many people, the coordination of the different groups was im- portant as well as difficult. Every member of the Act I Company worked hard and each played a decisive role in the creation of the two pro- ductions last year. %, Susan Hoke’s acting ability and her excellent make-up job created a wonderful and humerous character n “She Stoops To Conquer.” Theatre Society.
