Juniors Perform “Trudy’s Two Faces’’ (L. TO R.) K. DeFreece, C. Hutt, R. Miesbach, R. Gottula, K. Seeba, R. Miller, T. Morrissey, A. Horn, K. Britt, T. Hinkle, J. Lempka, S. Clifton, V. Mason, J. Phillips, C. Peterson, Mr. Suydan At 7:30 p.m. on the night of February 19, 1977, the curtain opened to the performance of Trudy's Two Faces. It was presented by the Junior Class as a money-making project. Practices became late-night movies as long hours were spent laughing, eating, and rehearsing. Act One of the two act play steadily improved as every practice started out serious and strong. But seriousness soon gave way to humor and Act Two leaned toward disaster. The play was soon to become a habit as lines were finally memorized. The elementary matinee went incredibly well with only a few forgotten lines, but the big test was yet to come. I know I'll forget everything, was a common statement made by cast members. A general feeling of calmness overcame nervousness as the final production was presented in front of a large audience. Besides the money made from the production, success was achieved for the juniors by the overall good time and the generous compliments received.

All Juniors Join In Co. Gov’t. Day On November 17, the Class of '78 saw themselves as guinea pigs on County Government Day '76. As an experiment all juniors were allowed to attend. This was done so everyone could learn the facts behind our government, not just 15 elected participants. At 8:25 a.m. on the morning of November 17, the THS juniors congregated in the high school gym and proceeded to walk to the Johnson County Courthouse. An assembly was held in the courtroon where State Ratrolman Bucky Bucholz introduced the commanders of several local American Legion posts. Three films were shown, followed by a lunch of hot dogs and beans at the Community Building. After lunch, everyone went to their respective officer to learn the duties and responsibilities of that office. County Government Day '76 also saw two new offices available. They were the County Welfare Office and the Veteran's Service Organization. Although first disappointed at the idea of everyone going, by the end of the day, friends were having a good time and were glad that no one had to stay behind at good ol' THS. 28
