NEW RULOS RANK “I” RATING The music department expanded in 76 with the addition of the Rulos, a mixed choral group. The long stan- ding Rulettes and Rulers as well as the Rulos were selected from among the choir members to sing at various occasions throughout the year. The Rulos sang at the initiation ceremony of the National Honor Society, at Christmas Vespers, in the spring contest, and at other engagements. Cindy Lemmon commented, Being in the Rulos has been an experience, to say the least. Everyone was very dedicated. But Mr. Hamble's time and input was the greatest of all.” Rulettes was a special experience for the girls. Rulettes was fantastic,” said Linda Moon. “It’s a unique ex- perience for anyone who enjoys singing.” Maria McCullough added, I’ve always enjoyed singing anyway, but singing in Rulettes was especially enjoyable.” Tim Buie remarked of Rulers, We had many interesting and fun ex- periences this year. The Rulos are a very talented group of which I’m proud to have been a part.” In April, the three groups joined the choir for the district music con- test held in Warrensburg. Rulos received a I rating and the Rulettes and Rulers each received II ratings. Mr. Hamble, choir director, com- mented, All the students worked very hard. It has been very rewarding working with such dedicated students.” Before and after school practice was sometimes trying, but Mr. Hamble remarked, “The students actually put the ensembles across. We would not have received our ratings without their perserverence.” The Rulos perform at district contest. “I wish I could find where they are.” says Dawn Miller. Rulettes 26

“CHARLEY’S AUNT” OPENS SEASON Ruskin’s theatrical season was open- ed with a comedy titled “Charley’s Aunt” which was directed by Mrs. Joyce Briggs and Co-Directed by Carri Morgan. The Fall Production was based around the confusion and laughter of two funloving boys in the early 1900’s at Harvard college. Jack and Charley schemed a way that they could invite their girlfriends Kitty and Amy to a luncheon under the conditions that Charley’s Aunt would come to chaperone. But as the time nears for the girls lit- tle visit a letter arrives announcing that the aunt, Donna Lucia can not come until later than expected. With Brassett running to keep the luncheon on schedule, Charley and Jack grab their buddy Lord Fancourt, and throw him in a dress to disguise him as the Aunt. With the light-hearted comedy the audience laughed their way through another spectacular show for Ruskin. Mass confusion captivates audience. Dave and Paul watch as Steve examines the situation! Paul tells Steve to sit like a lady.
