 HARD WORK PAYS OFF Big steps toward sophistication were taken by Valley's Auxiliary Corp. These steps began before school started when the Corp attented summer camp at An- derson College with the band. The hard work of the summer paid off .as the Corp qualified for the first time in marching both with and without flags at Terre Haute. They also participated in the Indiana State Auxiliary contest qualifying for finals. They finished 10th place out of the 400 teams competing in the state. Auxiliary raised money to travel by selling cheese and sausage and pizzas, and by sponsoring a car wash. One of the exciting trips was going to the Shenen- doah Apple Blossom Festival in Wash- ington, D.C. after receiving the honor of invitation. On March 25, the Valley drill team held a drill team contest at the Valley. The teams were to perform individual dance routines and group routines with flags. Valley’s team finished in Division I.

Art and Drama Clubs Express Creativity MacBeih and Company performed their first play “Pride and Prejudice” on November 3, 5, 6. The play was one of the scripts based on Jane Austin’s novel. The play takes place in England during the mid-19th century. The drama club worked hard in rehearsing and prepar- ing for the play, spending several hours before and after school. The club sponsored several unique oc- casions: Greek Night, Viking Varieties, Purdue Theatre Day, and Parents’ Night. During Greek Night, which is when everyone wears a toga and a big dinner is prepared, honors were given to best actor or actress, best class member, best overall participation, Thespian, and Thespian Initiation. Purdue Theatre Day was a trip to Purdue where they saw the full production of Hamlet. The Vi- king Varieties were various stunts per- formed by the club, and by anyone else interested in performing. Parents’ Night was held on Dec. 12, 1983 and was de- signed to honor the parents of drama members, as well as to inform them of the production activities. Mrs. Barr ex- plains the purpose of drama club as “Striving for Excellence.” Student scholarships are the major purpose of the art club. The scholarships go to deserving art students to help fur- ther their educations. The scholarships help these students with the purchase of needed supplies and textbooks. The art club made money through various activi- ties for scholarships, club shirts, senior keys, and other things. A Christmas Arts Crafts Bazaar was only one of the art club activities. They also sponsored a cake raffle and an album raffle. Angie Shafer and John Bryant all ready to col- lect the money as Shelly Utter tries to decide what to buy. Row 1: J. Lowe, T. Schnitz, R.
