It was a play that hit home to both students and audience members, as many people have either been bullied or have known someone who has made a drastic life-ending choice to avoid being a victim. Continued on Page 2... Not every team can pull off a compelling dramatic performance that brings audience members to tears, but this cast and crew of 68 kids was able to touch hearts every time they performed. Imagine this….30 minutes, no visible scoreboard, points that do not necessarily determine the winner, no timeouts, no substitutions, floor dimensions that vary, and all the while taking on anywhere from 7 to 11 teams at one time-no head-to-head competition. Welcome to one act play competition. Our season began in the middle of August on a gym floor in Malcolm and ended on December 11 on the stage of the Johnny Carson Theatre in Norfolk. Of all the school sports and activities, play production is by far the longest, and strangest, season. The team practices for about four months, only to be able to compete two or three times that season. Our season consisted of not only the regular competitions of ECNC and Districts, but we also stepped out of our comfort zone and decided to compete at the Lincoln High One Act Festival on the day before Thanksgiving break. Often times, we wonder how we would fare against teams outside of our class size and conference, so we decided to take a chance. We had no idea what to expect. What we did have was an incredibly long day full of a lot of hard work. Among the 15 competitors were schools ranging from Class A to Class D. When awards were finally handed out (at 10:30 that night), we were definitely on the map. Will Powers and Jacob Garrison received medals for being named to the 20 member Outstanding Festival Cast, Shi Hargens came home with an Outstanding Actress trophy, our tech crew (behind the scenes people) snagged one of the two Outstanding Tech trophies, and the entire cast and crew was awarded one of the two Outstanding Dramas. malcolm public schools “the clipper” january 8, 2015 page 2 I cannot say enough about our tech, lights, set up, and make up team. These are the kids that may never be seen on stage, yet the show could not take place without them. At ECNC we were runner-up to Louisville (Outstanding Performace awards to Will Powers, Alyssa Hoeft, Shi Hargens, Lili Martinez, Michael Zavodny, Tessa Dunse, Savannah Hargens, and Emma Schumacher) while at Districts (Outstanding Performance awards to Will Powers, Michael Zavodny, Jacob Garrison, Alyssa Hoeft, and Shi Hargens) we came out as champions, earning us one of the 6 coveted spots in Norfolk and our third straight appearance at State. What an honor it is to be able to compete against the best of the best. When the day's performances had concluded, we tied for second place in rankings, had scored more points, but were awarded third place by judges' preference. The best and most impressive memory of that day for me will be the standing ovation from a full house given to the team after their performance. Although our team did not receive a trophy, we did not come home emptyhanded, as Shi Hargens brought home the gold medal for overall Outstanding Actress! The events of the season could never happen without the support of so many people. Special thanks to my co-coach, Lori Haun, for keeping me organized, handling all the emails/business details, and going along with my crazy ideas. A shout out to my husband, Mike Maytum, for dealing with my crazy ideas and schedule, building strange items (like a large silver cage), troubleshooting, leading the tech crew, and driving the set to and from competitions. Scheduling, shared space, and shared kids can get crazy, so thank you to the football, cross country, volleyball, and basketball coaches for working with and around us. Lastly, our sincere thanks to the administration, parents, and patrons of the community. They say that if you build it, they will come. And you have. Never once did we hesitate to come to you with a need. You trusted us with your time, your money, and your kids. You trusted us to represent and to be a class act, win or lose. What made us the Freaks? YOU made us the Freaks! You helped and allowed us to stand out. You let us be the Freakiest of them all! page 3 10004 nw 112th st, malcolm, ne 68402 www.malcolmschools.org Student Council News Malcolm Student Council sponsored two activities during the month of December; which were the school banner contest and the ugly holiday sweater contest.
