THEATRE ARTS GROUP VIEHStiSOUTH PAeIFIC OI

iiI 1m Gonna \-J<1sh That Man Right Out of My Hair!" This song Has one of the many songs from the music~l production of HSouth Pacific. , t

The Theatre Arts class recently viewed the production at the Village Dinner Theatre. The group arrived at eleven o~clock, ate a delicious buffet lunch, and then sat . back and relaxed to enjoy the delightful hit musical.

"South Pacific" is set during Horld v,Jar II. An Army nurse falls jn

love with a Frenchman, and, of course, the typical love story ensues.

Mrs. Anne Brinkley, the theatre arts teacher. said she felt that every­one learned something from the trip and that everyone also had a good time.

The class is grateful to Mrs. Brinkley for planning the trip for them and. to Mrs. Howell for accompany­ing to the production.

CHEERLEADERS INSPIRE STUDENTS

" Get fired up" 'vas just what the stu­dent body did at the urging of the cheer­leaders ~t the year's first pep rally. The special occasion was sponsored by the fall cheer leading squad to inspire attend­ance at fall games . Attending \Vas the entire Middle School student body. Co-head cheerleaders Brady ifuitley and Tiffany Hiller commented, "Most ev.eryone seemed to enj oy the pep rally, but we ,vish they had yelled more. T,Te are really trying to get more f1iddle School spirit."

The cheerleaders really surprised Mr. Robinson when they gave him a going-away cake and a special good-bye.

Hany thanks to the cheerleaders and their sponsors, Hs. Lucas and Ms. Reveley, for the ~vork that made this a super rally.

MUSIC , HUSIC, MUSIC

If you had been in the Hedia Center at 10; 40 0n October tl-7enty-sixth, you would have heard someone creating a tune on the piano. That day the year ' s first studio red tal was held. Hany students partici­pated, and this recital was a "first" for SOMe of them.

It takes ~. lot of nerve to get up in front of an audience to perform a piece perfectly , but these performers had the necessary courage. All did a super job.

Participants in the morning's program were Ma ry Hyman, Bryntly Remling, Camille Simpson, Tracey Murphrey, Kristin Parker, Amy Scheeler, AIn.y Hatkins, and Anne Tmvle.

Hs. Rebecca Lee and Ms. Vickie Newsome are instructors f 0r these capable pianists.
