The stage is set for the cast to make Fools of themselves. But was it worth every bit of trouble. Just ask. ORKTOWN THEATRE What was the sudden epidem- ic that was cast over Yorktown High School ' s Drama Club? No worry, it was only temporary. The fall play Fools, by Neil Si- mon, had everyone wondering what had happened on Novem- ber 4 and 5. The play took place in the high school cafeteria, earlier trans- formed into the small Russian vil- lage, Kulyenchikov. The 13 cast members enter- tained the audience, while they enjoyed a four-course dinner of lasagna, garlic bread, salad, and sherbert. The cast members included Seniors Scott Brassart, Deena Bourne, Jeannie Collins and Jeff Sewell; Juniors Mike Worley; Sophomores Nancy Thise, Chris Mitchell, Todd Hof- herr, and David Slagle, and ' I really learned a lot from being student dir- ector. It opened my eyes to the hundreds of different aspects of theatre ' •Carol Cooper, senior Freshman Joey Collins. Student Director and soloist was Carol Cooper. The dance troupe consisted of Nelson ' wipes out shelves ' at local supermarket On Friday, Nov. 4, a fleet of trucks, vans and station wagons driven by Drama Club parents, at the high school to un- trees, and assorted form the cafeteria . . ' . ' age of Kulyen- E g with the set up of - the supplies for the dinner were also needed. Mrs. Terr. .rector, commented, When Orv Huff- man told me I needed to go and buy ten pounds of ground beef, ten pounds of pasta, two gallons of tomato sauce and 16 pounds of cottage cheese, I rushed to the store the first thing the next morning. It was the first time in my life that I was the first person in Marsh! In other words Nelson wiped out the shelves in the process of preparing the dinner. Senior Andy Marsh, Junior Ke- vin McNew, Sophomores Karen Bell, Lisa Crow, Cherish Fau- quher, Lisa Huber, Jodie Huff- man, Lisa Huffman, Brian Marsh, Hinda Mitchell, Glenn Peirce, Nanci Sears, Jenni Shaw, Mike Sindlinger, Anita Spur- geon, Dawn Taylor and Chris Terrell and Freshmen, Jayne Bennett and Rhonda Collins. In closing, Mrs. Terry Nelson, director, commented, The play went very well. I ' m proud of my kids. Things don ' t always go as planned as Count Yousekevitch explains that he can- not marry Sophia, Senior Jeannne Col- lins. One of the casualties was the dimmer board, borrowed from Northside High School, which blew up. So the Drama Club members rushed home and brought back all the extension cords they could find. As fate would have it, the foot- ball playoffs were the same night. The kids took turns going out and watching the game so we could get finished, explained Nelson. In closing, Senior Cooper sar- castically added, It was a lot of fun setting it up and having a good time but not as much taking it down! 19 Fall Play

The juniors took first in the toilet paper wrapping con- test and the lifesaver hunt. I thought it was a lot of fun sitting with all my friends and yelling my head off, com- mented sophomore Debbie Blink. Carol Cooper, senior, add- ed, I wouldn ' t change a thing. I thought it was great. The winner of the toilet pa- per wrapping contest was Ju- nior Julie Hochstetler. She jokingly commented, I got all my practice from Mr. Stisher ' s property. I have toi- let papered everything from Stisher ' s yard to Stisher ' s car, and even to Stisher ' s trees. So the junior class officers thought I would be the best person to represent our class in the toilet paper wrapping contest. You name it, I T.P. it! All wrapped up, but no place to go!
