With huddle groups in junior high through pro ranks, the FCA is a nation- wide org anization that sponsors national camps where athletes talk, pray, partici- pate in athletics and listen to speakers, who are usually members of college and pro FCA huddles. The Penn huddle hopes to raise money to send kids to these national camps. With this being their first year, the Penn huddle has focused their fellowship meetings on club organization, discus- sions and future goals. Although Penn's FCA huddle is basi- cally for athletes, it welcomes anyone to its meetings, because great emphasis is placed on Christian fellowship rather than athletics To help get the Penn huddle oriented, the Mishawaka huddle combined with Penn for a fellowship meeting in the fall. Sponsors were Miss Hahn, Mr. Yeoman. and Mr. Rog. Once larger in membership than any other club at Penn, the AFS club has now been declining rapidly in size. Therefore, many of the projects and responsibilities of the club have been carried out this year by a group of enthusiastic adults. It is through the AFS club and adult members that we have enjoyed our exchange student, Giacomo Ricca, from Savanna, Italy, and have also sent our students abroad Even though many of the AFS club pro- jects have been turned over to the adult group, the AFS club did sponsor the olympics, AFS style. Students and teachers participated in everything from the pantyhose pull to the egg toss. All participating teams repre- sented a country and obtained monetary pledges from local businesses.

Eligibility for member- ship in the club is determined by lettering in football, basketball, tennis, track, vol- leyball, or one of the many other sports available to the high school athlete Before joining the elite membership. aspirants must participate in many sun- rise drills, take their share of bumps and bruises, cope with referees, and most of all, learn how to handle defeat There is also a pleasant side to athletic competition. Letterwinners have the assorted overzealous mothers on the sidelines who donate cookies and a lot of love, cheerleaders, understanding coaches, and of course, winning In short, to athletes, winning isn't everything it’s the only thing Row 1 Kathy Avery.

Thespians assume multiple roles Each of usis, in a sense, a multiple per- sonality, we change our behavior to suit different needs. Sometimes, of course, we find it difficult to keep up the farce. Take this difficulty, multiply it by five to ten people, add specific things to be said, movements to be made, coordination of several people at once, stage design, lighting, and you have an idea of the diffi- culty of putting on a stage production. This is the job of the Thespians. “Yes, Beulah?’ “There's a—person just come, says Mrs. Hampton wants to see her. A Mrs. Sparker. ’ “| don't know any Mrs. Sparker Silence “| don't know any Mrs. Sparker.”” Allright, let's start again, act two, scene one, The rehearsal goes on. The actors and attresses may grumble now, but when the time comes to give that one line that they've always missed in front of 900 people, they'll bless the endless, repeti- tive practice. Notwithstanding the best-laid plans of mice and men, however, something -always breaks; somebody always trips or forgets a line; and one of the props is always missing ten minutes before show time. The pressure is intense, but the actors always manage to cover what errors there are. It's opening night. The cast is pacing nervously about the Green Room, repeat- ing over and over again those lines which they have said in their sleep for two months. Ms. Wendt calls them to order, they form a circle. She says a few chosen words about the hard work that everyone has put in, and gives them her honest assurances that all will go well. An emo- tion-laden silence envelops them for a moment “Give ‘em h—!” Top Thespians Row 1 Becky Amdt, Kathy Wyatt Sandy Sanders, Cricket Boyer, Jeff Wiessler Tammy Norwaish Row 2 John Penn, Jay Swindler vill Lenezowski, Kami Moss, Keith Andrews Row 3 Ed Goddard, Don White, Patti Good, Roxie Kurtz, Tom McQuillan Center Director Wendt pensively ponders play progress Bottom left Ed Goddard Penn stage veteran, is in character first, last, and all the time Bottom right ‘‘| say!
