Fall Difficulties Plague Newspaper Staff 5 Difficulty in the fall caused some problems for the Mercury staff's first edition, but on the average the newspaper came out once a month. Mercury advisor Bill Gilchrist noted that the fall paper was not close to perfection. Each issue of the paper is prepared by the editorial team. The staff members gather article information and after outside type setting, the Mercury staff pastes up each page of the paper for printing in the U-High Graphics lab. Mr. Gilchrist's plan is to allow the staff to do as much of the production work as possible so they can learn all aspects of journalistic production. Next years staff will be looking for more people who are enthusiastic, willing to put in some extra time, and who feel they have some journalistic skills, said Mr. Gilchrist. Seated: Misty Carlson, Chris Barnard, Joe Marlan.Front Row Standing: Mr. Gilchrist, Advisor: Debie Taylor, Bonnie Thompson, Craig Brarff, Joanna McCaslin, Terry Trevaskis, Dave Benner. Back Row Standing: Scott Baxter, Patty Kealy. 103

Drama Plays New Role Drama students have partici- pated enthusiastically in three major plays ranging from ser- ious drama to musical comedy, as U-Hi's Drama department has taken on a new role! Besides school performances, individuals competed through- out the year in area college speech conferences winning several awards in Oral Inter- pretation, and other individual participation events. Class activities range from developing expertise in mime and character acting to make- up and technical stage pro- duction. Mrs. Laurie Crowley, new Drama instructor, feels that students participating in dramatic activities develop a more confident self-image, re- fine their creative imaginations and generally have a better outlook on life after leaving her classes. 1 Above left: lt may look like nap time but it's reallya breathing exercise for Drama.
