The plays took place on Nov. 7th and 8th, At the beginning of 'juvie' the characters' crimes have just happened, so they were still in shock. Then each character had a re-enactment of their own crimes, which was really trying, said senior Martha Lauber. The cast features R. james Baylor, Evelyn Becker, Angie Cartwright, Mike Dahm, Kyle Dyas, jim Hanna, Christine Hemmer, Kim Hoppe, Sharilyn Kerns, Martha Lauber, Rob McEntarffer, Cindy Paul, Carrie Richardson, and jennifer Walker. This year, unlike the past years, two one-act plays were chosen as opposed ,NWm.Va ' i ' ' .v CONCENTRATION IS a key factor to acting.

So then they'll be ready for. Lights, cameras, action! to one longer play. The two plays, juvie and Roomers both by jerome Mc- Donough were chosen because ofthe sharp contrast between the two themes, and the fact that they were by the same author. Director Carol Svoboda said that it gives the students a chance to look at the style of theatre known as repertory. juvie is a very important work on juvenile crime, so the cast will have a Chance to do a very serious piece and then a farce such as Roomers . The play juvie is designed to give the side of thetroubled individual, stated cast member seniorjames Baylor. 'juvie' is the nickname given to a juvenile detention center, and this story is the happenings ofone nightthere.Theyare in there for shoplifting, drinking and for all other sorts of crime, said cast member senior Kyle Dyas. Neither of the plays have a real main character, said Dyas, and that's the way that it is in practice, no one acts superior. Everyone accepts each others character, and how they present it. Both plays are ensemble plays, which means that the people in the cast all have relatively equal parts. One char- acter might have more lines, but all parts are still equal, said Baylor. All ofthe hard work and frustrations of the many weeks of hard practice was pulled together and used in an all-out performance by the cast of juvie and Roomers on opening night. -Michelle Dyer Fall Play!21

Homecoming festivities The dream comes alive for Knights ON THE EDGE OF A DREAM was how Susie Myers and Scott Gamet felt when crowned Homecoming queen and kin . g I was really shocked and I really didn't think I'd get such a honor, said queen Susie Myers. Candidates were chosen from all seniorletterwinners and pep club mem- bers. Students then voted to narrow down the list to 10 finalists and then voted again for who they wanted for king and queen. The royalty was then announced at the dance at 11:30. At first I was in shock, then after I realized it was really happening, I was ecstatic and it was unreaI, said king Scott Gamet. Thefestivities started Nov. 1 with an early morning pep rally. I think the pep rally got everyone enthused about homecoming and the game, said Shirette Tiffany Seevers. The evening began for most people with the football game against Fremont. The Knights were edged by the Tigers 20-17 in the last game of the regular season. 'ka- AS THE ROYALTY enter, the crowd stands watching. Seniors Tom Gifford and Susie Carlson walk down the aisle before the king and queen are announced. SHOWING TRUE SCHOOL SPIRIT, some football players haved their heads. This brave player shaved the initials S.E. on the back of his head. Having homecoming so late in the season, was a first for the school. The dance had to be after a game on a school day, and all the other weekends before Nov. 1 were fuIl, Pep Club president Amy Castro explained. After the game, most people then traveled to the north gym for the dance which started at 9 p.m. and lasted until midnight. Balloons, clouds, hearts, and metal- lic streamers were used to enhance the theme On the Edge of a Dream. The pep club sponsored the dance, and were responsible for all the preparations, decorations, and entertainment. The music was provided by the band lagg which played mostly modern music. l think all the pizazz and effort that is put into homecoming makes it a big event, said senior Stephanie Buck- walter. lt's fun to be there, and most people have a great time. -Paula Danekas 1 Homecoming!23
