Six in terpers take first at sta te This year under the coaching and leadership of Miss Spelts, O'Gorman had a person in every division of the state oral interp contest. Mary Ellen Doyle with humorous, Pat Lalley with prose, Jeanne Barnett with poetry, Matt Norris with oratory, Kevin McClus- key with dramatic, and Jeff Barnett teaming up with Rita Kane, for duet-acting, made up the fine group of interpers. The O'G students left the judges spellbound at both the divisional, and state contests. Seven students went into Augustana divisional contest filled with fear and anxiety, and about eight hours later, seven came out Hlled with joy and pride. Then, at the state contest, O'Gorman received super- iors in all but one division. The YY. O'Gorman interpers can be thought of as a family, which could be seen at any of the contests. When one wins, everyone congratulates each other and when one loses, everyone consoles each other. The interpers act as a team. The divisional and state con- tests make up only a small portion of the total contests they attended. Others include, Springfield contest, The Silver Bowl, Clear Lake Invita- tional, Midwest Tournament Invita- tional, Washington Warrior Invita- tional, and the NFL Contest. At the Springfield Contest, Jeanne Randall and Janelle Ranek took first, Karol O'Connor and Laura Buckwalter took seconds, and Nancy Gellerman took a third. At the Midwest Tournament Invitational, Mary Ellen Doyle took home a third in humorous. At the Washington Warrior Invitational, Jeanne Ran- dall, Mary Ellen Doyle and Theresa Brunetti all placed. At the Clear Lake Invitational, Jeanne Barnett took a third, Kevin McCluskey and John Richardson took a first, Rita Kane took a fourth, Kevin McClus- key took a second, Jeanne Randall took a third, and Karol O'Connor took a first. Also, Pat Lalley and Mary Ellen Doyle did well at the Silver Bowl. Another very impor- tant contest, the NFL, included winners Pat Lalley, Karol O'Connor, Jeanne Barnett, and Rita Kane. 89

hiwar- Q as v ,gm ' N? Technical crew's work pays off on opening night Time: Opening night. Director: Well open the curtains, turn on the spot lights . . . What! There is no one to do it, and we have no set! Well, what are we going to do? No set, no sound, no lights. How would you like to be in the director's shoes? Well lucky for Miss Spelts, we have Mr. Brick and the students who volunteer their valuable time. Hammering, sawing, painting, sta- pling, plastering, measuring, cut- ting, glueing and sweeping, include many of the rewarding activities the technical crew does. Then just to egg spice up the long hours of construc- tion, they have an occasional paint tight here and giggling gab session over there. But between the horse play, a lot of work does get done, Mr. Brick makes sure of that. So you see, without the tech- nical crew, to build the set, pull the curtains, work the lights and sound: the old saying that says The show must go on would be changed to The show can't go on! Among the many people who helped this year, include: Ann Marie Naughton, Sheila McGreevy, Elyssa Ellerbroek, Lisa Rogers, Karla Damm, Jo Anne Petri, Mary Liver- more, Christy Kleppin, Greg Kenne- ly, Michelle Dubbelde, Renee Tim- mer, Sally Tapkin, Dan Weight, Suzanne Ollerich, Denise Crotteau, Ryan Bolger, Mark Kunkel, Morgan Kolberg, and Jolene Hiebert Clockwise startlng left: Lisa Rogers performs the tedious task of stapllng . . .
