JUST HORSIN by Jill Lowe Fun! Excitement! Competition! These are some of the things High School Rodeo offers. HS Rodeo is a demanding sport too, as Mark Driskell, Kristie Clearwater, Jill Lowe, Angie Camerer, and Nikki Jones will emphatically agree. These determin- ed PV students practice hour upon hour and travel many miles to succeed in their sport. To be a competitor in this sport these five students must be dedicated not only to daily practice, but to keeping up their grades as well. To be eligible to com- pete in HS Rodeo they must pass five of their seven classes. Mark, Kristie, Jill, Angie, and Nikki put in many hours on the road hauling to the twenty qualifying rodeos held throughout the state at Concordia, Plainville, Topeka, Dodge City, Kingman, Lakin, McPherson, Medicine Lodge, Scott City, and Burl- ington. To make it to State Finals, which are held in Topeka, the rodeo athletes must gain points in their events by placing in the top ten at the qualifying rodeos or by competing in at least half of these rodeos. At State they compete for double the points to determine the top four rodeo com- petitors in each event who will represent Kansas at the National HS Rodeo Finals in Pueblo, Colorado at the end of July. The competition level in HS Rodeo is top notch. Each competitor is determined to do his or her best. This determination creates Champions. The State and Na- tional I-IS Rodeo Finals are often as com- petitive and exciting as the Pro Rodeo Finals. All the hard work, dedication, and travel time rodeo competitors invest does pay off. Awards such as horse blankets, trophy buckles and trophy saddles are given at the State and National Finals. The chance to compete at Nationals is the experience of a lifetime. Rodeo athletes who do well at the State and National levels are often awarded healthy rodeo scholarships. But regardless of whether you win or lose, the competition and comradery give a great sense of self-satisfaction. The friends one makes and the memorable times they share last a lifetime.

M-kAakS-kH Gretta Cline The roar of choppers overhead rocked the PV auditorium on Nov. 11 and 12 dur- ing the high school production of MfAvfSfH. MfA+S+H, a comedy por- traying the antics of the 4077th Mobile Ar- my Surgical Hospital during the Korean War, was directed by Mr. Keith Smith and Mrs. Pam Baugh. Long before the performance, actors, actresses and stage crew members were hard at work. While actors battled to learn their lines and cues, the stage crew was busy transforming the stage into an army compound. Once the sets were completed, the actors moved their practices to the stage. Many newcomers to the stage and veteran actors gave the play variety and well cast characters. Despite some problems, the play came together in time for outstanding matinee and evening performances. The opening scenes showed Lt. Col. Blake arranging to have Capt. Hawkeye Pierce and Capt. Duke Forrest join the 4077th. These tow unpredictable surgeons befriended Ho-Jon, a young Korean boy, and decided to wage a campaign to send him to the U.S. for an education. This com- mon theme that ran throughout the play was spiced with side-splitting scenes in- volving other M+A 1-SfH characters. At one point, Hawkeye was pushed over the edge of sanity and was confronted by a psychiatrist who thought he had been try- ing to lobster-trap mermaids in a rice pad- CHARACTERS General Hammand ..........

The compound was entertained by the Bonwit Sisters, the worst tapdancing act the U.S.0. ever sent overseas. The pro- prietor of the painless dental clinic was cured of depressions by the recreation of an old monster movie, complete with a monster. These were just a few of the 22lMASH characters found themselves in., Director Keith Smith was very pleased with the performance. He commented, Overall, I was very pleased with the en- tire production. Everyone came through and showed me that, despite some adversi- ty, the show has to go on.
