New vocabulary for
trigonometry class
by Tracy Tipton
Readers' theatre performs Friday
by Paul Dueslng
'This group of stu-
dents is probably the
most talented and exper-
ienced that I have had in
an academic course of
drama," said Glenn
Standly, drama director.
"Their performance
should be full of fun and
laughter to thrill the
audience."
Mr. Standly was re-
ferring to the Reagan
County High School
drama class. They will
be performing a read-
ers' theatre at 10:20
Friday, October 9 in
the high school auditor-
ium.
The class will be per-
forming "Oh Ye Jigs and
Juleps" which was writ-
ten by Virginia Cary
Hudson in the early
twentieth century.
When she wrote the
story, Virginia was nine
years old. It was a class
assignment. As years
passed, Virginia Hud-
son's daughter had the
story published in the
1960's. 'Oh Ye Jigs
and Juleps" holds the
same twist, wit, and
humor that she became
famous for. She pre-
sents the adult world
through the eyes of a
child coming out in an
ironic effect. Virginia
Hudson is the same lady
who wrote the letter to
the editor that prompted
this response, 'Yes Vir-
ginia, there is a Santa
Clause."
A readers' theatre is
a new media in which lit-
erature is printed com-
bining oral interpreta-
tion. It is produced by
a number of readers in a
dramatic media: in oth-
er words, it is blocked
and produced on stage.
The following eight
students will be per-
forming in the readers'
theatre:    Cindy Arm-
strong, reading the part
of Virginia: Donna Hold-
en, Virginia's contradic-
tion: Gregg Fisher, all
male roles; Gay Gar-
rett, Mama:    Debbie
Shoemaker, Papa; Tina
Eggleston, all other fe-
male roles; and Jena
Martin and Tangela Mc-
Guire will be narrating.
'It will be good!"
says Mr. Standly, "The
public is invited to at-
tend."
The trigonometry
class at the high school
is being introduced to a
whole new vocabulary
in its study of the func-
tions sine, cosine, tan-
gent, cotangent, secant,
and cosecant.
According to the in-
structor, Mr. Larry Cole,
'They are learning that
real-world problems are
deliberately concentra-
ted in sections which fol-
low the development of
substantial amounts of
theory. The students are
taught to see graphs of
periodic functions and
graphs."
'What is all this good
for?" Mr. Cole was
asked.
"It leads to a calcu-
lation which can be used
to make predictions
about things in the real
world," he answered.
Mr. Cole explained
that scientists have put
forth a theory (bio-
rhythm) that a person's
biological functioning is
controlled by three in-
dependent phenomena
that vary periodically
with time. Using trigon-
ometric functions, they
study their subjects'
physical, emotional,
and intellectual charac-
teristics.
Trigonometric func-
tions are also vital to
architects, navigators,
and surveyors.
