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

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.
