(Source Of Violence), Dezire, Karie Hon, Eric Phil- lipe, Angela Johnson, Destiny, J.A.P.F., Russ Barlow, Tim and Darrel Hutchinson, Show Girls, The Show Boys, Rhonda and Shonna Naugle and Mich- elle Oliver, Indianapolis Con- temporary Guitar Ensemble, Young Ones, Bill Backoff, and Craig McCormick. Some of the Mc’s of this year’s show were Glen Johnson, Tracy Enochs, and Kristy Feit. “Winning our category was the greatest thrill, stated Barry Bradley who was in the group Dezire. He also commented, ”We worked hard to give the audience our best show for their enjoyment.” Jessica Funches, also in Dezire, stated, ’Though mis- takes were made, we were not condemned for our mistakes; we were rewarded for our ini- tatives.” This year, no prizes were awarded, but winners were announced. Some of them were Destiny, Dezire, The Elect, Karie Hon, and Craig McCormick. “I enjoyed this year’s show much more than last year’s because there was a big- ger variety of acts. If you didn ’ t like the one that was per- forming, you would probably like the next one, ’’commented Kathy Stephens. Even though the show had its mishaps, it had enough of a variety of acts to please anyone who was in the audi- ence. “I know I’ll go next year if it as good as this year’s,” commented Treena Thomas.

ogpatch survives A hush fell over the stage as the lights dimmed and the curtain slowly rose. The time had come to see if all the hours of hard work had paid off. It was opening night for the spring musical “LiT Abner.” When the curtain rose, the audience saw the semblance of the town of Dogpatch. The song “It’s a Typical Day “in- troduced the many humorous characters. As the play opened, Abner Yokum, Senior Jeff Gammon, was trying to keep as far away as he could from Daisy Mae, Senior Lisa Stout, so he wouldn’t have to promise her that she can catch him during the annual Sadie Hawkin’s Day Race. However, their typical day soon turned upsidedown. During a town meeting, they were told that their town had been choosen to become the nation,s new nuclear testing site. Throughtout the rest of the play, the Dogpatch citizens tried to save their beloved Dogpatch. This goal took Abner to Washington. There he met General Bullmoose who devised a plan to get Yokum ’s tonic, which was being tested by the govern- ment However, his plan was discovered, and he was ar- rested. In the end, Dogpatch was saved because the statue of J. T. Compone in the town square was declared a national monument, and Daisy andLil’ Abner finally were married.
