ARTS AND ACTIVITIES
October 26, 27 at 7:30 p.m. and 28 at 2:00 p.m.
The Diviners
Written by James Leonard
Directed by Scott Durocher
A warm and gently humorous story of trust and friendship. Winner of the American College Theatre Festival, this marvelously theatrical
play is the story of Buddy, a boy with mild retardation, and his friendship with C.C. Showers, a disenchanted preacher. It is the early
1930s and the play takes place in a tiny southern Indiana town. When the boy was very young, he almost drowned. Due to this trauma,
and because he lost his mother in the same accident, he is deathly afraid of water in any form. The ex-preacher comes from Kentucky
and is set on breaking away from a long line of preachers in his family. He’s determined not to do that which he does best and sets out
to lead a more honest life working for the boy’s father as a mechanic. But the town doesn’t have a preacher, and the women would very
much like one. They try to persuade him to preach, and he tries to persuade the child to wash. Closing with a heart-wrenching and
emotionally charged scene, The Diviners is a theatrical event that unforgettably blends humor and horror. Tickets are $7.00 for adults
and $5.00 for students/senior citizens.
Tuesday, October 30 at 6:00 & 7:30 p.m.

ACT or SAT?
Many questions arise on which college entrance exam to
take, ACT or SAT? Should I take both? When should I take
them? Can I take them more than once? What are their
differences? How do I register?
The ACT is the most commonly accepted college
entrance exam in the United States; however, most
colleges will accept both ACT and SAT. There are some
colleges that will only accept the ACT. Please check with the
college or with your counselor on which test you should take.
Our advice is if you plan to attend a four-year college, definitely
take the ACT during the spring of your junior year. You may
take both tests if you are looking at a wide variety of schools,
particularly on the east coast.
Senior Year Checklist

for taking the ACT or SAT unless you

The test should be taken in September

College entrance exams may be taken more than
once. Most colleges will take the higher of the two scores.
Some schools will start averaging scores if the test is taken
more than two times; however many will continue to take the
higher test.
The ACT is an achievement test that measures:
English, math, science, and reading. The four tests are
averaged together to determine the over-all composite score
which can range from 1-36.
The SAT is an aptitude test that measures verbal and
math aptitudes. Each test is scored on a scale of 200-800.
To register for either test, a student may stop by the
guidance office to pick up a registration application as
well as a practice exam booklet. The application is to be
