Last year the school participated in a competition play called, “The Most Clichéd Elevator Play in the History of the Universe.” Its directors, Mr. .Peter Binkley and Ms. Barbara Scheid, did an amazing job helping the actors involved gain character control and development. The play was performed by the cast against other local schools and went on to win against the first part of the regional contest. Although, the entry did not reach the ultimate first place at state’s, it was a huge success and those involved in it enjoyed the humor and character differences needed. This year’s play is called, “Sorry, Wrong Number.” Ms. Barbara Scheid will be the only director this year, and is as always, giving it her all to lead the actors to success. There are some old cast members as well as new members who are eager to gain even more attention than last year’s competition entry play. The students involved meet after school during the week for hard work to all-around improve the play. The date of competition is set for November 7 at Radford High School. Congratulations to all those who earned a part in this year’s competition play! Members of the cast brainstorm ways to make the competition play a success. Actors shown are Avery Mahaney, Carli Klechak, Aaron Bane and Rose Glarner Virginia Wickline works hard mastering her part as an operator.
Ms. Matlock decorated her own door to spread the Spartan cheer. Decking the Halls of Giles High by Janie Milliron It was a warm summer evening when Ms. Whitney Matlock realized that the halls of Giles High were inexcusably bland. There were dull lockers with boring bricks in between them and every few yards there might have been a motivational poster, but nothing exciting. How were these monotonous halls suppose to inspire Spartan spirit in the students? There was nothing in the hall that could light a fire in the students and it seemed as if they were doomed to another boring school year. The doors in the history wing celebrate the The idea of the same halls and the same lack of spirit did not sit well with Ms. football team. Matlock. She was ready for a change. As head of the pep club Ms. Matlock took the initiative and came up with the idea of decorating the classroom doors. Each wing of the school was assigned a different sport to celebrate. The math wing celebrates the golf team, the English wing makes homage to the cross-country team, the science wing commemorates the volleyball teams, and the history wing uses their doors to pump up the football spirit. This plan, however, did not get off the ground without a hitch. Every door was supposed to be decked in a large piece of either red or blue paper furnished by the school. Some students were appointed by teachers to decorate the doors. It took a long time for the doors to get decorated, but when the decorating was finally completed the halls came alive with the fighting spirit of the ancient Spartans. Despite these problems, the halls of Giles High have been looking a lot peppier. During each spirit week this year, there was a definite increase in the students participating. Students who normally do not care about school spirit enjoyed sporting their cowboys hats on western day and dressing in out-dated clothing for decade day. Ms. Matlock’s Spartan spirit seems to be as contagious as the swine flu. The question now seems to be, what will happen to the doors and the spirit when fall sports have ended and the trophies are all stored away? Then it will be time to celebrate the winter sports! The students of Giles High do not stop being Spartans just because football has ended. Just like the steadfast spirit of the Spartans of old, a little cold weather will not prevent the Giles High Spartans from cheering on their fellow fighters. The door decorations will stand strong and never waver. The doors in the science hall are all about Volleyball. 7
