Komm arts klub exerts energy 'tThere were so many people and we tried so many new things, it real- ly was an exciting year! exclaimed Komm Arts President Shole Milos. The speech and theatre organization again boasted the largest club mem- bership as well as an enormous amount of activities. With the guid- ing light of sponsor, Mrs, Claire Boyce, Komm Arts Klub members supported a speech team and group interpretation and also produced three plays, including a spring pro- duction directed by three senior stu- dents. To fund their activities KAK members sold ads for the playbills and also cheese and sausage during the winter. To break up the mono- tony of the various performances, members traveled to see My Fair Lady and Evita in Chicago and also held their first masquerade party. To end the busy year Komm Arts Klub members gathered at the an- nual banquet to celebrate their many accomplishments.

Herman places first in state Wintry Saturday mornings, many times before sunrise, a special group of students gathered on buses and traveled anywhere from Blooming- ton to Dolton. These travelers com- prised the Thornwood Individual Events team who competed in speech tournaments practically ev- ery weekend during the winter months. Tryouts were held in October and a group of thirty individuals earned the right to represent the school in one of eleven events at various schools throughout the state. Daily rehearsals with coaches and prac- tice sessions at home merited team victories at the Thornridge Invita- tional and Lincoln High School Tournament. The team also cap- tured the SICA Conference title in January. As February rolled around the team was narrowed down to one X. in X -' f competitor in each event to attend the IHSA Contest Series. The team made an impressive showing to cap- ture the District plaque and advance six events to the Sectional level. Hosting the Sectional Competition, Thornwood placed third and ad- vanced four events to the State Fin- als. Don Lorenzen, Felicia Jenkins and Alicia Herman competed at the State competition in Bloomington on February 20 and 21. Alicia Herman led the team to a third place state ranking by becoming state champi- on in prose reading and the runner- up in verse reading. The success of the speechies was due to the team spirit among the members and the support of the coaches. As Mr. Menozi explained, No matter what happened they stuck together and always helped each other. It was an entire team of 'champions'.
