Ladies and gentlemen . . . Throughout the school year, different classes were blessed with the presence of many speakers. These speakers were welcomed by students, not only be¬ cause it meant no work in class, but, rather, the speakers had something im¬ portant to say. One such speaker was our own prin¬ cipal, Mr. Avoli, who spoke on the con¬ duct and behavior of students through¬ out the year. He also added, as an after¬ thought, that misconduct could lead to the deterioration of the student(s) body. Another speaker welcomed by stu¬ dents was State Trooper Sholes. It was only fitting that he visited the govern¬ ment classes explaining the rights of the people and the rights of the police. Sponsored by the Library Club was a storytelling time for the children of the faculty. The stories were told by Dr. Ramsey, a professional storyteller. As the year went on, other assemblies and programs were presented to the students for enjoyment as well as a learning experience. One such assem¬ bly was presented by Theatre Four called Runners,” a high-impact drama on the real life experiences of actual runaways. Also presented was a Christ¬ mas program in order to get the stu¬ dents in the holiday spirit. Everyone enjoyed any guest speaker or assembly that was brought into the school. They were able to break away from the monotonous routine of every¬ day school life to the pleasurable and relaxing atmosphere of the auditorium. By Jenny Profitt and Donna Cogar Performers from Theatre Four discuss the feelings and experiences felt and seen by actual runaways. A ifil pm 20 Assemblies guest speakers

Saturday Night Live. . . On May 2, 1987 in the Stuarts Draft High School Auditorium, our faculty brought to life fhe real Saturday Night Live. The night started off in a bar as our faculty portrayed the NBC Thursday night sitcom Cheers . Mr. Harvey Al- marode and Mr. Bill Schindler then took over the stage and dazzled the au¬ dience with their Blues Brothers soul Man impression donning hats, suits, and white socks. Wymers Wonderful World of Woe- bics brought great laughs as Harvey Almarode fitted size 14 sneakers onto his knees, hid his calves behind a sheet and created The Jack LaLayne of SDHS. Senior Brian Wilmouth took it in the shorts when Mr. Wymer, alias Samuri Principal, pounded him for all his atroc¬ ities in Mrs. Primand Proper Unger ' s class. The laughs continued as the English department presented a humorous in¬ terpretation of Shakespeare ' s play, HAMLET. The Kiddie version, Hamlet and his Friends had the audience in hysterics as Mrs. Patricia Phillips read to Mrs. Cherie Taylor, Mrs. Elaine Almar¬ ode, Mrs. Judy Houser, Mrs. Virginia Layman, and Mrs. Karen O ' brien. The evening began to wind down as the Sat¬ urday Night Live News team came on. However the best was yet to come as Mr. Charles Wymer, Mr. David Wenger, and Mr. Jack Taylor presented their version of Stop in the Name of Love by the Pointer Sisters. by Donna Cogar 22 Faculty Follies
