With the sudden dearh of Mr. Wetzel the staff was at a great loss and wos a mass of confusion. Thanks to Mr. Dochman's great enthusiasm and all the rime he spent helping them, the staff finally got it all together. The deadlines were always sooner than the staff expected and each one was harder to meet than the last. This years staff consisted of 33 members. 19 of these were on business staff, 10 were on loyour staff, and 4 were on literary staff. The editors rhis year were Jen Amundson and Shelley Schroeder. They were assisted by staff heads Tracy Krenz, Kim Luther, Deb Sodeman, Jackie Niemeier, and Jodi Thompson. Everyone pitched in to help in the stand and everyone had fun doing it. The meetings got long some- times but they were worth it. The annual was a lor of work and we hope everyone enjoys it. BUSINESS STAFF Row 1 J. Amundson, J. Sieg, 0. Troub, M. Mumme. Row 2: G.

B Nordby 44 FALL PLAY Love Rides The Rails This year's fall ploy, under rhe direcrion of Mr, Girron, was on exciting Melodrama. Ir was a typical villain verses hero, black verses whire, good verses evil play. Don Davis as Simon Darkway, had a dasrardly plor ro capture rhe Waton- wan Valley, LaSalle and Pacific Railroad from rhe frail Mrs. Hopewell (Denise Goeser) and her very innocent daughter. Prudence (Yvonne Eppeland). With rhe help of his nor-roo- bright partner, Dirk Snearh (Roman George), Simon almost succeeds with his plor, bur they are stopped by rhe ever sturdy Harold Sranfosr (David Heckman). Horold is our hero, Truman Penndennis (Jeff Paulson) best friend. Truman is locked in jail bur freed by Miss Cariotta Cortez, (Peggy Olson) a fallen woman. Character is added ro rhe ploy during rhe bar room scene in which rhe dancehall girls perform a lirrle can-can ro rhe cheers of rhe bars patrons. The play was lots of fun for rhe people in ir and rhe audience who gor in rhe acr by throwing peanurs and rhe sing-a-long wirh rhe dancehall girls. We hope everyone was there ro enjoy rhe fun. kow 1 M Hansen, S Eng, D Doggorr, D Newberg kow 2 S Schroeder. S karzlaff, L Paul, J Amundson, P Paul kow 3: K. Kuyper, k. McMohon.
