Juniors Entertained With “Chicken Man,” Mouse, Raven And Broken Sentences Members of the cast Worked together to build a successful and enjoyable experience for themselves. Practicing evenings giving a matinee for the elementary and giving a final production took up alot of their time. Some difficulties that came up were that few students tried out for the play making many cast members double up on parts. The lack of preparation time also proved a problem for the cast. Another problem was that only one boy tried out for a part, making the selection of plays limited. The cast was rewarded for their one-night production with a crowd of approximately fifty people. CHICKEN MAN Ellen—Becky Laue Beverly—Lori Scott Lester—Jeff Campbell THE MOUSE AND THE RAVEN Jennifer—Jill Gordon Connie Newport—Tracy Meints Mrs. Bradberry—Carmen Meister Mrs. Pillsbury—Becky Laue Mrs. Manoil—Tammie Lantz BROKEN SENTENCES Sara Lovejoy—Mary Schutz Lillian Lovejoy—Kathy Wright Mr. Hatfield—Jeff Campbell Mitzie—Tammie Lantz Lolly—Julie Paris 13

Juniors Viewed County Government Each year Tecumseh juniors participate in County Government Day under the supervicion of Virgil Blumhorst and in cooperation with Johnson County public officials. The students run for offices in their American History classes. The elections are complete with posters and campaign managers. This year's elected officials were Tammi Lantz, County Sheriff; Vem Ray Stephens, County Superintendent; Debbie Oestmann, County Assessor; Mary Shutz, A.S.C. Office; Kim Bucholz, County Agent; Susan Hemmer, County Judge; Tracy Meints, County Attorney; Kathy Smith, County Clerk; Jackie Weak-land. County Treasurer; Tom Baum, Steve Morrissey, and Lynn Woltemath, County Commissioners; Not Pictured, Arnie Higgins, Clerk of the District Court. On County Government Day the students heard speakers and observed the function of the office to which they were elected. The program also allows them to meet students from other schools in the county who also participate in the activity. The goal of the program is to allow students to observe and understand how their local government functions, an experience which will encourage them, hopefully, to fulfill their civic responsibility which is essential to democratic life. 12
