Sr. Kelly Skutvik, a 4-H member, said, I joined to learn things you can't learn in school. I stayed in because of the people and the ac- tivities and the things they offerf, Another member of 4-H, Sr. Destre Thorpe, said the reason she was involved was for the trips we take. We get to travel and I love the chance to meet people, and the scholarships that are available for me are outstanding. What these students got out of communi- ty work was summed up when Kelly added, The best way to feel good about yourself is to do things for others. It also helps the u'f-ow' community. It shows them that not all teen- agers are uncaring and unhelpful, but that many of us want to help. Students didn't necessarily have to be in a group or a club to be involved. Just by going to favorite hangouts, they were a part of the community. They went to the malls, to the reservoir, to downtown Denver, or even to movies. Many students also went to church, and this added to their community support. If nothing else, students were in- volved by supporting things such as Denver Bronco games or Denver Nuggets games. In more ways than one, all students were somehow involved in the community. Darren Hardy AFTER GIVING HER ticket to the usher, Fr.

State thespians Give fNoises fl- o- v0- Offl' a 6 hit n October 21 and 22 and again on November 6 and 7, the theatre was with something that had never hit before: Sardines! While people were getting geared up for the football season, the advanced acting class and tech theatre class were preparing for the first fall play Noises Off! It was performed by the advanced acting class Said were Play instead of having an all school cast. Mr. John Kron, the director, They the perfect people to fit the roles. The involved perfect timing, and when re- ,UGS hearsals started Mr. Kron knew that timing would be the biggest problem. But once the cast and crew started work- ing the whole play was a success. It was asked to the state thespian con- vention in Northglenn, October 24 and 25, where they, both cast and crew, were given a thunderous standing ovation. Be- cause the set had to be transported up to Northglenn and then back again, it had to be completely dismantled and put back together like a puzzle. This caused some problems with the sturdiness of the set. Noises Off! was about a group of actors putting on an imaginary play by the name of Nothing Onn. The actors QI1' were responsible for creating two char- acters, thus adding to the complications of the play. The whole process took much time and energy, but the cast grew very close because of this. Jr. Cyd Rosenbaum said, It was an experience of my life to share it with the people I worked with. This show had everything from an anxiety-ridden director to people run- ning around in their underwear to sar- dines. And even though there were some problems with the set, the tech theatre class pulled through and showed their stuff and helped make it a success.
