vi xx i ig. 3 5 A Q xi S' is .iii QQ. in N F After weeks and weeks of long, hard practicing the tryouts for the 1987 Key Club Follies was finally here. All of the acts were grateful for the extra week of practice due to snow . . . but the big day was Hnally here. Tension grew as each act anxiously waited in the Green Room for their name to be called. As each act performed, Mr. Walls paced the stage checking for impressions or imperfections, Sighs of relief could be heard as the per- formers quietly headed back to the dressing rooms. Even through the nervousness, tryouts had been fun and exciting. Whether each act made it or not, the experience was great! After a week of long waiting by perform- ers and endless voting by Key Clubbers, the decision was made as to who would be in the 1987 Follies. Crowds of students swarmed around the Key Club bulletin board as names such as Girls' Council, SGSC, RGC, RJR Cheerleaders, Stage Band, and Conservative Youth were posted as the winners. Rod McGeachy and Steven Lackey were selected to be emcees while acts such as Alex Burroughs and Jay Clifford, Bill Coleman, Michelle Sink, Suzanne Defee, Alexandra Cvijanovich and Mike Dickheiser were chosen to perform. On March 27 and 28, the weeks of endless practice would pay off as the thirteen chosen acts carry on the tradition of Key Club Follies. Girls' Council practices hard for their Follies dance to the song So Far So Good. And the RJR Cheerleaders strike a pose from their dance sequence. All of the Follies acts practiced very hard for their performances, and the work paid off As usual, Follies was a great success. 011165 . .

16fFeatures OK TOBERFES T qi JB The continuing tradition ot' Oktoberfest is one that attracts not only Reynolds students, but also outsiders. Students from other schools try to sneak in and join the fun, and also the newspaper and TV came around to see what it's all about. The Student Govern- ment Association works long and hard for several weeks to make Oktoberfest the suc- cess that it is. The pride that Reynolds stu- dents feel continues to grow and strengthen through events such as Oktoberfest. And the fun and excitement that we feel during that time will be remembered forever.

When the bell sounds at 2:00, our day is just beginning! Many of us remain on campus to participate in school-related activities. We have practice for sports, the Band, Cheerleading or Dancing Boots. Several of us have work to do for various clubs, as well as meetings to attend. We meet our friends on the Landing to talk about the school day and to make plans for the afternoon or evening. Often we support our teams at athletic events, or just watch the teams practice, We have fun in whatever we do, whether it's enjoying an afternoon snack or simply relaxing alone or with friends. Although classes demand the majority of our day, we still make time to play!
