After enduring late night rehersals during “hell week,” losing a cast member to illness, and completing their first full run through of the play on Wednesday, the cast of And A Child Shall Lead performed with rave reviews.

There was much praise for cast’s performance of the drama. “I thought it was really incredible and powerful. The actors and actresses played their parts so well, that every time they were afraid, I felt it too,” senior Mikey Himmel said. Mikey’s sister is in the play.

Junior Sean Peterson, who plays Maurice Elias, thought the audience helped bring out the emotions Mikey mentioned. “I think the impact…”

Morning Announcements 10/30/09

Lights! Camera! Action! Every Friday morning, a staff of NCHS students put together a live broadcast for their fellow students. Previously known as The Morning Announcements, the show has recently decided to rename itself. The catch? Students have the vote.

Many have come to enjoy the weekly announcements that contain a combination of news, humor, and entertainment. “The purpose of The Morning Announcements is to give information to the students but [try to] keep it light, fun, and something that the school looks forward to each week,” senior Carolyn Shea, co-producer of The Morning Announcements said.

Even though Kansas was ranked higher, it didn’t get to play in a BCS bowl because it did not win the Big 12 Conference. Now, one would think a higher ranked team would have a better chance at a BCS bowl game. Not in the BCS, folks.
