Burns as well as Crest does not have a theatre like Shelby's Malcolm Brown. The school staff, parents and students all wanted this event to happen. Because of their determination and with the help of Spanish teacher, Julie Marshall, they pulled it off. Julie has some good acting experience and volun- teered to become the play director. They chose this particular play due to the fact that they were not able to build or cover the cost of the- atre sets. "Our Town" did not require expenditure of that nature. Once the event was announced, students came to the tryouts and volunteer parents spent hours donating their time. There were those who felt it just wasn't meant to be. Hours of frustrating practices took place. To many it was going to be a thank- less effort and a waste of time. However, on Friday something very special and wonderful happened. To the applause of those in atten- dance and to the surprise of many skeptics, the cast "pulled it off". All those involved with the plays suc- cess deserve "kudos"! The praise and honor of their achievement can- not go unnoticed. Despite all odds, the arts are now alive at Burns High School. Each of you actors are to be congratulated. $60 per person $240 per Team of 4 River Bend YMCA Golf Course 704-434-0441 Ruby C.

Guest speaker was Cleveland County Sheriff, Alan Norman. Sheriff Norman reviewed past accomplishments and future plans for his department. He emphasized the positive side of programs which are in place for all citizens. After, he responded to a question and answer session. Kiwanis clubs, located in 80 nations are dedicated to help the communities in which they reside. Service is the heart of every Kiwanis Club. The clubs focus on changing the world by serving children, one community at a time. The Shelby Kiwanis' biggest fundraiser is the annual pancake supper held prior to a Shelby High football game in the school cafeteria. The Shelby Kiwanis was founded in 1922 and is 93 years old. It is an out- standing example of doing good for the community.

Each participant is awarded medals for their participa- tion. It all happens to con- stant cheering, encourage- ment and applause. The smiles and eyes that light up from all the participants is the greatest reward for all. If you are fortunate enough to attend or be a part of the annual event, consider your- self blessed. The Special Olympics was founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver in 1968. Presently it is the the world's largest sports organization for chil- dren and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions to more than 4.4 million athletes in 170 countries. It has come a long way since Eunice Kennedy Shriver held her first Special Olympics in the yard of her home in Maryland. In the Wheelchair Chair Slalom race, Hannah Conley took the Gold medal for first place and Tyrick Mance took the Silver medal for second place. – M. A. Andrews
