oJL Faculty Play Snoopy i DOG-GONE GOOD “What’s up in those clouds anyway?” Mr. Moore as Linus waves at Goliath in the sky. CC ... waving at me, what do you see?” That one line from a song in the faculty presentation of “Snoopy” caused approximately 1200 students to laugh hysterically for two assembly pe¬ riods. That was quite a feat, considering that the singer was agriculture teacher Mr. Nelson Moore as he performed in the role of Linus. The faculty presented a comedy-musical in the Spring that was well-choreographed, humorous, and judging from the applause, was success¬ ful. Who could have resisted Mr. Arnold Kloock running around as the down¬ trodden Charlie Brown? Or Ms. Brenda Martin hopping up and down on a dog¬ house flapping her wings as she per¬ formed as Woodstock? Or even Mr. Donnell rolling around in the grass as the all-knowing Snoopy? “Snoopy,” a two-act play, was con¬ densed into a variety of sketches and was presented to the student body in May. The play, in its entirety, was later presented during a public performance. The cast included Mr. Donnell as Snoopy, Mr. Kloock as Charlie Brown, Mr. Moore as Linus, Ms. Bidgie Bu¬ chanan as Lucy, Mrs. Mary Jane Taylor as Sally, Mrs. Jane Akers as Peppermint Patty, and Ms. Martin as Woodstock. The chorus for the play included Mrs. Jo Moricle, Mrs. Janet Moore, and Mrs. Illene Pons, with Mrs. Rendy Williams as pianist. Under the direction of Mrs. Maria Oden, the faculty and educational staff members of the community joined to¬ gether for their second annual presen¬ tation. According to Mr. Donnell, “The play was a great opportunity for faculty who never sees each other to come to¬ gether. It gave students a chance to see teachers in a different light which teach¬ ers and students enjoy.” “What do you mean, that’s not the right an¬ swer?” Mrs. Akers, Mr. Klook, Mrs. Taylor, Mr. Moore, and Miss Buchanan study hard in class. 14 Faculty Play

Special Olympics Creates Special Events For Special People S pecial people gathered from all over the county April 10, to participate in the annually held Special Olympics. Sponsored by the Monogram Club for the ninth year, the games began with an Olympic march and the recitation of the Special Olympics creed, “Let me win, but if I can’t win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Brave was certainly one word to de¬ scribe these participants. Additionally they were hard-working, heart-warming, and especially fun-loving. Everyone had fun with the Special Olympics activities. Even though the Olympions received the ribbons and certificates, Momogram Club members received rewards that on¬ ly come from unselfishly helping others. The Monogram committees were headed by Wendy Law, who with other Special Education teacher, Mrs. Melinda Comer, Coach Astrop, Chevonda Nowlin, Jesse Dollarhite, and Charles East gather for lunch after a hard morning of activity. club members and Coaches Mr. David Clement, Mr. Gerald Culler, and Mrs. Lisa Astrop helped to make the games possible. Several high school students competed in the games. They included Kim Ray, Frances Pritt, Jesse Dol¬ larhite, Cindy Penn, and Chevonda Nowlin. According to Monogram Club members Heather Hill and Dee Wood, “The day gives the kids a chance to broaden their horizons.” As Lisa Handy looks on, Kim Gunter and friend enjoy the sun. “What do you mean I look like a horse?” Charisse Hill and special friend Michelle share in the fun of Special Olympics. 16 Special Olympics
