28 Drama class proves it’s not just Playin’ Sans US) Q Children’s Play Around Imagine running for your life, dropping crumbs along the forest floor and then committing murder in a Gingerbread house in order to save your life. Does this scene sound familiar? It does to the Theater Arts II class that was in charge of the Children’s Theater produc- tion of “The Gingerbread House in the Forest,” by Anne Coulter Martens. John Hanby, Ms. Clark’s replace- ment, admitted to some ner- vousness about the perfor- mance. “I must admit that I was apprehensive before the curtain. It wasn’t until after the whole production was over that I felt relieved.” Trying to create an at- mosphere of magic for the elementary students, a nine- foot witch was designed to catch the children’s atten- tion. This unique attraction was created by stacking Alison Orren on Woody Robinson’s shoulders and covering them both with a swathe of black cloth. As ex- (ul! (ft iy sie? cited elementary students ) fs! flooded out of thegm ® auditorium, enthusiastic comments came at the per- | formers from all directions. Listening to the excited com- ments from the children) really made the performers, feel like they had made some | people happy. Alison Orren threatens a tera rified Shauna Earp and Kevin’ Jones.

Juniors and Seniors Spend Big Bucks to Make Plaza of the Americas Parking Lot Lined Up With Limos The mall of Plaza of Americas was filled with ex- citement as couples dressed in formal attire began arriving. Many couples were find- ing themselves asking other couples, “Do you know where it’s at?” or “Have you figured out where it’s at yet?” because no one seemed to know just exactly which banquet room it was that the prom was being held. But somehow everyone managed. The Junior-Senior prom was held on April 26 and began at 7:30 p.m. Couples were having their pictures Thompson, controls the music. Prom The D.J. for the night, Pete made at 5:30 p.m. The theme for the prom was “Wishing Upon a Star’ and the first dance, held after the senior walk, was to “Lucky Star’ by Madonna. During the senior walk, seniors and their dates walked through a floral- decorated arch and were introduced. Andy Barbar, from 92%, KAEFM, was scheduled to be the D.J. for the evening, but Pete Thompson showed up instead with his sound and light show. The menu included fresh salad with Cafe Royal dress- ing, breast of chicken with mushroom, rissole potatoes, fresh mixed vegetables, and French rolls. Strawberry tarts were served for dessert. While some people who at- tended the prom commented that the food was not very good and was served in a “child’s plate’’ fashion, others thought just the opposite. A great deal of money was spent by each individual who attended the prom. When asked if one night was worth all of the money, most people said that it was definitely worth it. Senior Chris Hamilton said, “I think some of the things that n « A obi by | Real 4 consume most of your) money are rip-offs (85.00 tux,; 85.00 hotel, etc.), but that’s} the price you pay for a good Fane so I guess it was worth) it!” ? The best iat prom was probably the danc-) ing. Senior Tracey Her-§ nandez commented, “I en-4} joyed dancing, seeing )}| everyone in their pretty) dresses, and seeing all of they guys dressed up.” about the cont. on page 32 Enjoying the night’s® festivities, Vonna Thornburg,¥ James Townsend, Kara McLendon,® and Laurie Colgrove wait for they music to start the dancing.
