Drama Club Keeps Busy Year ' round Drama Club enthusiastically started this year with the fall play Good-bye My Fancy. ' The club then sold patches during the football games to raise money for the various field trips planned for the year. During the middle of the year, the one act play The Girl in the Mirror was performed by six club members. The play went to Districts in Kearney where it received an excellent rating, but placed eighth in over all compe- tition. In March the club put on a Sadie Hawkins Dance. Students were urged to dress up like hillbillies to add to the festivities. Members also traveled to Lincoln to watch A Mid- summer Nights Dream. The play was performed by The Acting Company . which travels throughout the United States. Other activities members participated in were a candy drive and a tug-o-war contest during the battle of the best. Speech teacher Evieyn Nikkei helps students polish their gestures before a contest. The Kissing Bandit is on the loose and Tracey Trynchy chuckles at the fact that Gregg Merkell got caught. Clare Tande and Amy Chapman provide an eerie atmosphere in the one-act play production of The Girl in the Mirror. 18 Drama Speech

finished product was always something to be proud of. Journalism, however, would have been incomplete without Hermie, the pet, plastic, potted palm plant. He withstood numerous fire, tornado, earth- quake, and mud slide drills, Christmas decorations com- plete with lights and snow, and several severe beatings from the editors. His stamina and perseverance was an inspira- tion to the entire staff.

Speech Club had an exciting if not busy year. Contestants traveled to speech contests in Loup City, Hastings. Central City, Kearney, Seward, and also competed in three con- tests in Grand Island. For the first time it was possible for members to earn a letter. The requirement for a letter was participation in a minimum of five contests pre- senting at least two different types of speeches. Letter- winners this year were Kathy Dreher, Kris Luhn, and Dave Rosenkotter. The letters were designed by Kim Gates, an active Drama member. In April, Kathy Dreher took her After Dinner speech on Camp Counseling to State where she placed eighth in the competition.
