Snow delays state, causes decisions Name change creates involvement After many years of sponsoring King and Queen of Courts, Stu- dent Council thought it was time that something be done about the name. Since King and Queen of Courts did include wrestling a change was necessary to involve both sports. After many propositions, the members finally decided on King and Queen of Winter Sports which would include both sports and make the wrestlers feel part of the activities. To help fund the dance for King and Queen of Winter Sports, Student Council took in money from the pop and candy machines. The dance was put on by Muzik and the theme was Shoot for the Moon. Stu- dent Council also was responsible for decorating the commons area during Christmas time. There were three special tour- naments that NFL competed in: NFL debate, which was held at Coffeyville: NFL speech at Man- hattan where Steve Brown re- ceived 2nd in humorous interpre- tation and Maria Shell received 3rd in dramatic interpretation: and Student Congress where Shell received oth outstanding speaker in the Senate and 2nd in legislation pertaining to her topic of lsreal . Receiving the double rubies, which is the highest award in NFL, were Tammy Harrison and Maria Shell.

I Student s speech talent lands theatre part for future experience by Angela Shell While the majority ot her friends were at the football games Maria Shell was eitherpracticlng or per- forming in the play THE PRlME OF MISS JEAN BRODlE put on by the Topeka Civic Theatre. Shell has al- ways been interested in drama and when she saw an ad in the newspaper advertising tryouts for the play she became interested. She tried out for a part knowing ' without any experience except for on the speech circuit, she would be lucky to get a part. To her sur- NATIONAL FORENSICS LEAGUE AND STUDENT COUNCILfACTlVITIESf'l39 prise a few weeks later she re- ceived a call saying she had gotten a part as one the the six school girls. Shell had practices during the fol- lowing two months before opening night. Though Shell only had two lines in the play she felt is was beneficial for her. She met many people and made new friends. lt also allowed her to learn more about the theatre and develop her dramatic talent. Shell plans to tryout for another play in the near future with hopes of getting a larger part, now that she has a little experience.
