On April 12 the team of Robert Curliss, Raven Curliss, Ana Ramirez. Brenda Olson, and Brian Olson received a superior rating at the District History Day held at Northwestern Oklahoma State University. The History Day team had a change in cast before the state competition. Ana would be unable to attend national competition if the team placed first at state, therefore, she was replaced by Anjie Pepper. The team performed an original musical play, “The Donner Party Tragedy.’’ Students' projects for History Day are selected in accordance with a nationally selected theme. This year's theme, Triumphs and Tragedies, was selected by a na- tional committee. At the state capitol on May 10 the team from Waynoka placed First. There were no separate divisions for schools of different sizes so the Waynoka team competed against schools of much larger enrollments. They received a superior rating scoring 98 3 points out of a possi- ble 100. The play is about a pioneer group, the Donner Party, enroute from Illinois to California. They took an untested shortcut and were stranded in blizzards on the back side of the Sierra Mountains. Having no food and nearing starvation the desperate survivors turned to can- nabalism. The Donner Party holds rts place in history by showing the will of man to survive st any cost. The Annual Staff would like to wish them good luck and dedicate this year's annual to them along with Waynoka's other state champions.
