Assistant to the Principal Russ Isaacs performs his choir solo to the great amusement of the teach- ers and the Panther audience. Sketchbook Phyllis Blakeman - Veteran Direc- tor states: I look for well-prepared people whose reward for participa- tion is satisfaction. Sketchbook, Snider ' s annu- al talent show, did an excep- tional job in proving to ev- eryone the immense amount of talent and creativity found at Snider. Ms. Phyllis Blakeman, who has been in charge of some aspect of Sketchbook since 1969, states that she looks for well-prepared people. Sketchbook gives students their time in the spotlight. Acts range from tap danc- ing to rock bands including solo performances and large groups such as the Pantherettes. At breaks be- tween acts, the masters of ceremony entertained the audience with short skits. A large number of groups auditioned for the show hoping to make the final cut. Several rock bands, and various other kinds of musi- cians such as a barbershop quartet and a pianist en- tered. Sketchbook is not designed to be a competition between the participants to see who is the best or the funniest but a great two-hour show put on by some proud Pan- thers to showcase their first class talents. A showcase of creative talents Cynthia DeKay - I thought that Sketchbook was very good this year. There was alot of variety and talent. Rhett Kilmer - Sketchbook 88 displayed the many talents of the student body and also great style. Tony Luenberger - This was the first year I ' ve at- tended Sketchbook and I thought it was pretty good. 24 Sketchbook

Elwood introduces Harvey to Mrs. Chauvenet as Veta and Myrtle Mae watch disgustedly. Judge Gaffney explains to Mryle Mae about Elwood ' s disposition. On Stage at Snider Harvey entertains with humor and laughter for all Veteran director Terry Tucker put on another show to delight play- audiences. There are many things that make a play work: selection, cast, costumes, scenery, makeup, stage crew, lighting, special effects. Harvey was a good production for a school play. It has just enough humor to delight both old and young audiences. The stage crew was an important part of the production. These people must make sure that all props are out on stage when needed in a certain scene. It takes a lot of time and a good memory for this job. Changes must be made in a certain, short amount of time. Agility and a sharp mind are also important qualifications for a good stage crew member. The play went well and was enjoyable to watch both up front and behind the scenes Harvey has shown to be the type of play that is praised for its work on and off stage. It ' s a crowd pleaser that is sure to hop its way into anyone ' s heart. Fall play 23
