Broadway Comes To Washington In the spring of 1988, the Dra- ma Club presented on its stage a fable of Broadway. This fable was Guys and Dolls. Guys and Dolls tells the sto- ry of Miss Sarah Brown and Miss Adelaide, and how they marry their unlikely husbands, Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit. Many students sacrificed long hours to make Guys and Dolls a success, from learning dance steps and musical numbers to building the set. Like anything, it was work, but rewarding. At times one wonders whether or not all the work is worth it — until opening night comes, said junior Erin Albert. Students who had lead roles were Erin Albert as Sarah Brown; Richard Koons as Sky Masterson; Trish Hood as Miss Adelaide; and James DeCocq as Nathan Detroit. Junior James DeCocq says, The direction and leadership of Mrs. Sandy Weyer, Mrs. Beverly Nantkes, Mr. Richard Clark and many talented young people helped make Guys and Dolls a huge success.

Competition ., Builds Future Skills The preparation for the one- day Academic Decathlon com- petition started early in the school year. One morning each week, the members got together to listen to guest speakers about various subjects. After all the practice came the real competi- tion day, January 14, at North- ridge High School. The nine WHS members took part in 10 different tests which included speeches, interviews, essays and written tests. Next, the whole team competed in a Super- quiz. Sponsor Mrs. Elizabeth Stitt commented, We were ex- cited about how well the team did and are looking forward to next year. Another team who had a one- day compeition was Spell Bowl. Practices consisted of taking practice tests and members were given a little dictionary of words to study. This was our third year and we ' ve always done pretty well, said sponsor Mr. John Killeen. All of the Spell Bowl ' s hard work paid off in their 2nd place finish in the sec- ond division. The Quiz Bowl team was per- haps the most competitive aca- demic team. This group prac- ticed every Monday, with matches every Wednesday for nine weeks straight. There is both a B-team and Varsity which competed against other area schools. Mr. John Killeen, also the sponsor for Quiz Bowl, com- mented, Although the three or four best players graduated last year, this years, team is holding its own.
