New Thespians endure initiation Each year the 0'Gorman The- splans get together to choose new members. A system of points sets the standards for the selection of the new members. Students obtain these points by being involved in the various areas of drama such as: acting in plays, working on set construction, helping direct plays and taking drama, oral interpreta- tion and speech classes. The new thespians must participate in initia- tion week, which actually lasts three days. They started on Monday by dressing up and going out for breakfast then once at school, they received homemade corsages. Then came the hard part, throughout the day whenever they saw an old member, they had to get on their knees and kiss the members feet while exclalming, I am worm sweatl . This became a rather embarrassing situation. The second day seemed a little more easier, but more expensive. The former members bought the new members lunch while they received pieces of candy from the recently elected thespians. On the last day the new members of the group treated the former members to various desserts. The 1983-84 Thespians lnclude: Theresa Brunetti, Sandy Boone, Jeanne Barnett, Emerson Nord- mark, Stacey Darger and Sherrie Olshove. 104

Teachers win victoriously The student B team gave the teachers a run for their money. At halftime they were eleven points ahead, but when the second half rolled around, they couldn 't keep up with the teachers. The student B team consisted of Andy Baker, Wade Dornbusch, Matt Bower, Pat Donahoe, Tom Grocott, Pat Ronan, Tom Slattery, and Jeff Spriggs. This team has been together for approx- imately three years, so they know what each other can do. They are part of a Y team league and in their junior year, they won the A championship and this year, they were 15-0 and won the AA cham- pionship. The student A team members included, Brad Erickson, Gary Ronning, Mike Masur, Chris Mur- ray, Greg Rayman, Mike Costello, Phil Kneip, Clay Boyum, Mark Kunkel and Mike Bassing. Steve Krier and Rick Lynch led the teachers with their explosive teamwork, helping the teachers on to victory. Over all, the crowd turnout was excellent, and the yearbook staff sponsored this event, raising Sl8Q which will be put towards a new camera. The halftime show featured some of the O'C-Forman Pages dressed Hawaiian. 106 TFSQ .. 7 V X we T if w S 1 Q if is W as
