Sprog is moving smoothly along. Here are some of the activities we have participated in during 1976.
“Cage for a Queen,” a play about a mentally disturbed teenager who thought she was a queen. The play was generally depicting how people should, and should not, be treated. You may have to catch the play to get the picture. Unfortunately, the play took place during Youth Emphasis Week, March 21-28. Sprog also attended the play “Daily Special” by the Richard B. Harrison Players, which inspired them for their own presentation. That play took place March 2. Sprog may also be presenting the play “Heaven or Hell Party” at a later date. Both Sprog plays were written and directed by Mr. William Archibald.
Sprog is also entering into the Missouri Extension Teen Teachers program. A certificate will be awarded each person who completes a four-week program. The age limit is 16 years and older.
Other activities consist of: the Sprog film committee – Juanita Davis, Paulette Mooney, Delicha Broom, and Kenneth Broom; trip to Six Flags and cake sale committee – Rennee Long, Hassie Davis, Juanita Davis, Paulette Mooney; arts and crafts class every Saturday from 1-3 p.m. at 5825 Pershing.
Sprog would like to thank the community and parents for their participation in Sprog’s successful bake sale.
Sprog has reporters in both Soldan and Enright Schools, so more news will be coming through the grapevine.
For those who don’t know, Sprog, a group of teenagers, centers around brotherly and/or sisterly love and concern for one another, and the desire to help themselves rather than be lead around by adults. So for those out there who think like us, come and join.
