Backstage, talented performers hast- ily made final preparations. As the lights dimmed, the show began. On the nights of October 15th and 16th, the spotlight illuminated a stage filled with a wide variety of Santa Teresa talent. The show was considered an im- provement over last year's perfor- mance for many reasons. Mr. Reed, drama teacher and variety show ad- visor, stated, “Some of the same peo- ple from last year matured, which made the performances better.” Perhaps the performer who “stole the stage” was June Flores, display- ing her captivating voice as she sang “Don't Cry Outloud and “If you're not here”. Senior Heather Conley stated, “I was awestruck by the range of June's voice.” The inclusion of a live band made the show better than last year's. The band, composed of Jason Schroeder, Tim Montijo, Brad Kantlehner, and Matt Griffin played backup for Flora Larez and other acts in the show. Many people felt the abundance of new talent added to the show. “It was a lot of fun because there were a lot of new faces on the stage, not just the usual crowd.” commented senior Michele Sheehy. On the way out, junior Steve McCutcheon remarked, “I enjoyed the entire show; but. in particular, I found the comedy acts to be the highlight of the evening.” The only problem was that both shows ran an hour overtime. Mr. Reed admitted at the conclusion of the show, “Had I accurately predict- ed the length of the program, I would have cut it down, although I would have had to cut some good stuff.” The Variety Show again proved to be an enjoyable exhibition of talent.

LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR »1. rfS t jcey Lance and Hr Kirsten Anderson watch their daughters play on the playground at Taylor Elementary. Well look at Ashley jumping on Cassan- dra.” said Stacey. Photo by Erin Powell. SlIMK MOMS eing a student in high school requires a lot of time and ef- fort and so does being a mother. Can you imagine trying to be both? Stacey Lance and Kirsten anderson think the rewards are well worth the effort. I am really happy to be a mother, and I am glad to be back in school to be able to graduate with my class, stated Stacey. Stacey and her hus- band, Jay, are raising their daughter, Ashley Nicole, who is now two years old. She and her family live in their own apartment. Stacey had strong feelings in favor of marriage and family life. She says, I had more re- sponsibilities and had to act as an adult instead of a teenager. Her friends were very supportive during the pregnancy, but she still had to grow up sooner than most teenagers. Stacey plans to go to college in the future and is considering a career in cosmetology. She and Jay would like to expand their family someday. Kirsten, with the help of her moth- er and family is raising her three year old daughter, Cassandra. She has had to give up a lot of her leisure time to spend with her daughter, but she is happy to do so. Kirsten feels that she is treated differently since her pregnancy. She states, 1 made me grow up and see life in a different way. She felt that the decision to raise the child was best for all in- volved. Her parents' support and love helped her to further her educa- tion at a state university to help sup- port and raise her family. Stacey Lance and Kirsten Ander- son can be considered to be Super Moms . They were very lucky to have such supportive and caring parents. Changes occurred in both of their daily lives. For example, it became more difficult to participate in extracurricular activities, and homework had to be done at night after the child's needs had been tak- en care of. A child requires more time, energy, and attention. The baby has to be fed, bathed, and put to bed. Stacey and Kirsten are very proud of their decision to raise their daugh- ters and continue their education. They have also proved able to han- dle challenges they face. They are both pleased and enthusiastic about the future. By Erin Powell. Deter- mination to have a family and be a student is a quality admired in Stacey and Kir- sten. ------ Moms 32“
