From Shakespeare to Politics After four inactive years, the Model U.N. club, sponsored by Mrs. Bobbie Sue Henry, was successfully revived and the program achieved one of its most productive years. Representing a country of the world, each student had to debate an issue, following the point of view of the country they chose. The student par- ticipants acquired much skill in writing resolutions. The club also sponsored a Model U.N. session at Rockbridge High School which was attended by other schools. While Model U.N. students debated, the RHS Drama Club, spon- sored by Mrs. Diller, practiced stagecraft somewhere between Shakespeare and Moliere. The talented students accomplished their best performance when they staged ““Mugsey’s Merry Christmas.”’ In May, Pep Band — Front Row — Cindy Smedley, Missy Hartless, Karen Dedrick, Melanie Mc- Cabe. Second Row — Blake Ogle, Holly McBride, Amy Shumate. Third Row — Mike Thornton, John Hostetter, sponsor Audrey Johnston. 58 Clubs several members of the club modeled clothes from various periods of American history during the intermis- sion ofthe FHA fashion show. Two other clubs fostered interest in another fine art, music. The Pep Band, sponsored by Mrs. Johnston, performed at football and basketball games throughout the year. Their musical support at the Homecoming football game was a source of en- couragement for the players. Choral music was also evident at RHS in the form of the Melodics, spon- sored by Mrs. Jane Merrill. The Melodics helped the cheerleaders per- form ‘“‘The Star-Spangled Banner”’ at each of the home basketball games. During the Drama Club’s presentation of ‘“‘Mugsey’s Merry Christmas,” the Melodics sang carols. - Dennis May, Eric Clark, and Andrew® Johnson, representing Japan at the Model U.N. | Security Council, always have their words to say.
