Linda, Bob Prepare, For Maine's V-Show
Linda has been in Aquiana, Westerner, Quill and Scroll, Thespian Society, Pep Club and Pep Council, Class Council, Flower Drum Song, and this year was elected to the Homecoming Court.
Her courses include earth science, economics, marketing, English IVE, and law and government. She is also a Senior Leader.
Linda was recommended and then elected to be this year's V-Show choreographer. She remarked that the dancers were very good this year and the dances are filled with action. There will be a can-can number, a Charlie Chaplin, and also a tap line to "Bye Bye Blues." Linda will do a solo number which she will choreograph herself.
Linda likes the "teachers that care about the kids" and wishes there were more of them. She would like more interesting topics in homeroom assemblies and also wishes there was "more room in the school because things are too crowded."
Linda advises, "Within the rules, do what you want and have a good time; but also do what is expected of you."
In her spare time Linda enjoys "man-hunting" and also enjoys teaching swimming and dancing for the park district. She also likes to snow ski. As she puts it, she "just runs around and has a real wild time.''
After high school Linda would like to go to Bradley University to study physical education, majoring in health education and dancing, and then go on to become a physical education teacher
This year's V-Show dialogue director and coordinator, who confesses that "I haven't the faintest idea what's going on because right now everything is just confusion," doesn't have to worry about being mediocre in his chosen field.
This year Bob starred in the Senior Class and All-School Plays in addition to being president of Thespian Society, the honorary drama club. At the speech arts contest held at Normal in November, he took third place honors against 300 competitors.
Bob has been interested in acting since the eighth grade, when he tried out for a play. His mother had encouraged him to try out because he was so good at faking illness to get out of school.
As dialogue director this year, this personality rewrites the act dialogues, shortens them, and helps the actors in production and delivery. He says of this year's V-Show, "The acts are really very good. They're much more original and clever than last year's."
Bob has a few other problems, too, such as laziness and daydreaming, "but mostly being forgetful - ridiculous things I'm supposed to know like my locker combination and even my name."
Bob's final comment on V-Show was "V-Show will be very interesting and very entertaining, but the best show will be backstage. Cherie has worked very hard, and I'm sure V-Show will be a success."
