Mimes captivate RHS audiences The Roosevelt Mimes were kept busier than ever this year with appearances at Homecoming and Spree activities and pep assemblies. Other Mimes performances outside of the school included church group spots, playing at the Arts Fair, The Iowa State Fair and Parent Faculty Club meetings. The main event for the Mimes was the annual Mime Night, held May 30 starring the whole cast. There were several skits put on by different groups of the Mimes throughout the evening. The short pantomimes included both old and new spots in the show. The Mimes also helped out IPBN (Iowa Public Broadcasting Network) by promoting Friends Week on that station. Answering phones, taking pledges, and taping a series of promotional television spots were all a part of the Mimes ' job. Senior Joel Kiess was the Mastermime and leader of the troop. The other mimes were Seniors Leesa Christensen, Lydia Matthews, David Miller, Craig Canine, Jim Hansen, Cathy Riddley, Jane Voigts; and Juniors Jon Jones, Lori Utterback, Diane Norris and Laura Reese. The sponsor of the group was Mr. Everett Craft. Seven seniors left the group and four juniors will return next year with those chosen in the spring.
