Through-out the week of April 1-10,
VHS International Club took orders for
crystal jewelery which was purchased
through the Crystal Adornments
company.
Money made through the sales will help
finance the organization’s next trip,
which will be to a French restaurant.
Top three salesmen, Karen Pitt, Monica
Hogan and Kim Kleinman, each received
a crystal necklace for their outstanding
efforts and contributions.

Drama class attends Oregon
Shakespearean Festival
Seventeen members of the VHS drama
class recently travelled to the Oregon
Shakespearean Festival in Ashland,
Oregon to see three professional plays,
tour the theaters and learn more about
how the Festival operates.
Mrs. Kathy Sevig, VHS drama
instructor, Mrs. Cathy Ceiloha, and Mrs.
Carol Hogan chaparoned the group which
included Shawn Stevens, Karen Parrow,
Kathi Rinks, Angie Remsen, Ronda
Wood, Lorre Reynolds, Lila Harrison,
Polli Goodman, Kerry Grummert, Jay
Cahill, Mark Tracy, Pat Dotter, Monica
Hogan, Kelly Kyser, Dave Proehl, Guy
Richardson and Debbie J ackson.
While in Ashland for the three days, the
students stayed in the homes of members
of the Ashland drama department, going
to school with them in the morning, then
on to the theater. ‘The family I stayed
with was really nice. We got along great
and I enjoyed the trip immensely because
of them,’ said Guy Richardson of his host
family. T felt like I had known them for
many years. They opened their home to
total strangers and made us feel
overwhelmingly welcome,’ said Shawn
Stevens of his hosts.
Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller,
*
Twelfth Night, by William Shakespeare,
wadWild Oats, by John O’Keeffe were the
three plays the group saw.
Karen Parrow said of Death of a
Salesman, ‘I was awed by the
performance and the intensity of the
actors’ and actresses’ emotions.’
‘A spectacular performance which was
well worth every hard-earned penny to
see,’ was how Monica Hogan described
Twelfth Night.
‘An excellent portrayal of the life of a
roving actor,’ was the comment made by
Jay Cahill on Wild Oats.
In addition to the three plays, the
students received a backstage tour
including the Black Swan Theater, the
Angus Bowmer Theater, the costume
shop, the Elizabeathan Theater, and
explanations of all technical work
involved in a production. ‘The tour was
very complete. It made me understand
the hard work behind the^scenes,’ said
Lila Harrison.
Fund-raising events sponsored by the
drama class entirely paid for the trip.
KGW No-Stars basketball game,
proceeds from the performance of Winnie-
the-Pooh, and raffles and sales
throughout the winter were just a few of
the activities that paid for the trip.
