TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 22, 1992 Drama club to perform ‘School for Nerds’ L-R: Joe Lindsay (a jock) beats up on nerd Ryan Munkers while Chrissy Schultz tries to help him: and Ryan Pence intimidates nerd Daniel Beck whom Missy Wallace is trying to defend. The Heppner High School Drama Club will perform “ School For Nerds” Friday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the high school cafetorium. The play takes place at Brawny Preparatory High School, home of the fighting Hippopotami and national winner of every sport award known to man. The school is about to be closed because it has failed to graduate a single stu dent in its entire history. So who rides to their acadmic rescue? Nerds, of course. Five very bright, but unwelcome, nerds. In an attempt to chase them from the campus, the jocks glue the pages of their books closed, put a frog in their mashed potatoes at lunch time, send the school mascot, Harry the Hippo, after them and hang Wilmer upside-down from the school flagpole. After the Accreditation Committee condemns the school, the jocks and the nerds teach academics to the uninterested jocks, while the frustrated jocks teach athletics to the uncoor dinated nerds in a series of hilarious scenes. The cast includes Laurel Webber-Gray, Missy Wallace, Soil stewardship week April 27 Featuring the vital role that trees and forests play in conser ving soil and water resources, the Morrow SWCD is encouraging local schools, churches, organiza tions and individuals to join the nationwide observance of Soil and Water Stewardship Week, April 26-May 3, 1992. The local conservation district, which works throughout the year on soil and water conservation measures, is providing literature that describes how people are dependent upon and interact with trees. The local district is one of nearly 3000 conservation districts nationwide that works with the National Association of Conser vation Districts to encourage the wise use of natural resources through the annual weeklong observance. Joe Rietmann, chairperson of the Morrow SWCD, said he hopes Stewardship Week will en courage individuals to think about their relationship with trees and establish and care for trees in ur ban and rural areas. “ Every citizen has the opportunity to plant a tree, care for a newly planted seedling, look after mature trees or send financial support to someone who will do those tasks,” said Rietmann. Materials designed with the 1992 theme, “ Our Treasured Trees,” are being distributed by the Morrow SWCD and may be obtained by calling or visiting the district office during business hours at 430 Heppner/Lexington Highway.
