Th e Spirit Rings n. by Sandy Gilliam Music! Cheers! People! Spirit! Pep Rallies! Football cheerleading cap- tain Jaclri Euard commented on this years pep assemblies, They im- proved from years before because there was more response from students. One reason for the students' reac- tions was the contest for the spirit bell at each assembly. The juniors showed themselves to be the most spirited class at all except one pep rally this year. Some favorite pep rallies from the past returned this year. The burning of the Raven pep rally and the male cheerleaders pep rally are two examples. Senior Chris Habowski summed up his ideas about pep rallies, They get the people psyched for the game. mo 15 nam' m ...Q 20f Pep Assemblies 7 S S ii - sw h F

22f Fall Production C A Play by Sandy Gilliam This fall the Drama Club per- formed a play by Bel Kaufman called Up the Down Staircase? The play was about a new teacherls attempts to adjust to an inner-city high school in the mid-60's. Drama Club members are familiar with the process of producing a play, but perhaps others are not. The first step is trying out. To try out a student picks a scene to read from the material provided by the directors, then the student and a partner perform the scene for the directors. After worrying and wondering, the cast list is posted and those who made it rejoice. Drama Club mem- bers who did not make it sign up for crews and the work begins. The cast begins to rehearse after school almost immediately. The Hrst practices are primarily to learn the blocking, placement and motions of the characters, and to memorize the lines. Once the blocking and lines are memorized, the cast starts to polish the play. These rehearsals consist of a run through of the play and notes given by the directors. While the actors are practicing, the crews are working on getting various aspects of production ready such as collecting the props, organizing cos- tumes, ordering make-up, getting publicity out, hanging lights, and keeping the actors quiet during re- hearsals. The light and sound crew had a particularly hard job for Up the Down Staircase but Tim Kane and Kirsten Page managed admirably. According to Mr. Michael Mc- Clure, the new assistant director, They fthe crewsj did a remarkably good job considering the difficult cues they faced.
