It all starts out by picking a cast and crew (top left) to put on the fall musical. After weeks of practice, it is at last opening night. Whitko talent at bottom left is Julia Shepherd and Tony Phillips talking about Julia’s daughter. Below a fight is about to begin between Tony Phillips and Ed Gebert over Laurie (Dawn Kerschen- steiner). Dancing across the top are the young ladies of the community. Above, Scott Johnson tries to win the heart of Ado Annie (Tina Duggins). r And of course it’s a happy end- ing with the marriage of Laurie. Furthermore, it was all done with the help of music supplied by the band, choir and drama departments with the support of the faithful pit orchestra. 43 44 Livestock Judging Team, pictured above, left to right, 1st row: D.

Sunshine girls do many things throughout the year such as fund drives for Heart, Cancer and March of Dimes. They take their fathers on a “date,” take their grandparents to meet their friends, serve their mothers a salad bar, and lastly, spread sunshine into the heart of their one Ideal Lady.
