More than 100 NSMS students participated. The play opened, following an overture performed by the Jazz Band, with two autumn leaves, Derek Ashby and SaraliTorgerson, discussing the coming of fall. They were cleverly placed high behind a curtain with only their faces showing. Such staging is unique for a middle school production. Although the plays tide leads us to believe that Funky (played by Ryan Nelson) is the star, it was quickly obvious that Les Moore was the main character. Jared Hallows did a great job portraying the school nerd. Danielle Dahlsrud played the part of Holly Budd, the schools head majorette. Her rendition of I Want to Be Queen was beautifully performed. Nicole Shaw continued with an additional characterization as she performed I Want a HunK. Other parts were played by Tyler Okcrlund, Band Director, Harry L. Dinkle; Bruce Anderson as football coach. Thomas Torgerson was stage manager, and also played the part of the stage manager in the play. Other stage crew members, Rusty Taintor, Tyler Huntsman, Adam Wollsey, and Devron Ercanbrack, added to the smooth production of the play. It could be said that the Air Guitar Band was one of the best bands ever seen. Led by John Crane as Crazy Harry , they really moved, and included Corbin Crane, Royce Willis, Cody Mickelsen, Mark Larsen, Danny Johnson, Derek Ashby and Dustin Mickelsen. The cheerleaders possessed great talent. Besides Nicole Shaw, they included Dawn Dahlsrud, Sarah Williams, Rebecca Thorsen, Marci Eppich, April Hunter, Haley Wasden, and Susan Williams. The number was enjoyable and included Karyn Johnson as the school mascot. The football team followed their coach very well and included Brandon Rasmussen, Justin Parker, Kurt Bosshardt, Duke Bastian, Justin Shiner, Chris Ball, Lee Jackson, Mike Hales, and Cubby Gates as Manager. The Drill Team performed a short routine and appeared in various roles throughout. They included Tiffany Heidi Crane, Leslie Forbush, Jessica Holt, Mamie Munk, Amanda Lund, Theresa Hone and Mary Nordfelt. Other roles added to the general enjoyment of the play, including Laura Stohel as the girls soccer coach; Jill Prisbrey as the voice of the school announcements; Billy Colby, school principal; Shelley Burr, Melinda Hales, Lacie Rawlinson, and Amy Jensen as the girls whod do anything rather than go out with Les; Wendy Frame as the voice of the school desk; Tommy Burr as Mike Majors; Justin Parker, cameraman; Adam Jensen as the computer whiz. Played by Terry DeMille, the part of the school bus driver, Ed Crankshaft let us know in no uncertain terms his total dislike of kids. Band members provided most of the accompaniment for the musical numbers under the leadership of J.S. Christensen. The play demonstrated the talent contained in the Salina area. Aptly directed by Rushel Holt and under the supervision of Denise DeMille and Lori Rawlinson, the community was given a chance to enjoy a first class production. Thank you to all.

NSMS has been chosen as one of the two schools in Utah to participate in Promoting Innovation in Rural Education (PIRET) funded jointly by the U.S Department of Education and the Fund for Innovation in Education. Only 20 public schools, and six private schools in a area received grant money for the two year project. Big Sky Telegraph, a unique, easy to use electronic bulletin board system will be installed at NSMS this spring. Principal Gurney and teachers Jim Torgerson and Denise DeMille will be trained in implementing the programs, and the school will be a state demonstration site for three ten-sta- te sample programs. A Macintosh computer in every classroom and a complete management system are the main features of trACE, a program allowing each teacher access to thousands of lesson plans and teaching strategies, the capability of creating worksheets and activities, plus a way to take care of management data such as attendance and grading. Teachers are now being trained to use the system. trACE which is also in use at South Sevier Middle School and some of the districts elementaries, is reenergizing the teaching and learning process in more and more schools. Lesson planning becomes a choice among a wide array of enrichment resources rather than a dull exercise in make-d- o alternatives.
