Several former Plains High School drama students were honored at the performance of “Barefoot in the Park” last week.
During the first intermission of the play, Plains Superintendent Thomas Chisholm asked Cathy Emmett and Terry Henry to join him in front of the audience.
“Six years ago, the coaches and drama students from Plains High School gave a national performance of the play “Our Diamond” in Nebraska. I felt it was very important to recognize them publicly,” Chisholm said. “There is a banner from The International Thespian Society recoginizing the drama students from Plains High School. The banner is hanging on the wall of the gym, in the lobby just before you walk into the gym.”
Chisholm unboxed a plaque and stated, “This plaque contains the names of all who were involved in the performance of ‘Our Diamond’ in Lincoln Nebraska.”
The drama students named on the plaque are Bethany Mack, Mahala Harris, Kenny Griggs, Nick Warren, Chris Halling, Kendall Knight, Taylor Boles, Christgian Beach. Samantha Garrison, and drama coaches Cathy Emmett and Terry Henry. The plaque will be on display at Plains High School in the trophy cases, which are located in front of the school gym.

Special election could cost thousands
The special election to replace former Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke has already begun to make big news in Montana. The financial impact to each county could affect already tight budgets cause even more challenging adjustments for the remainder of 2017. Many of the counties have created their budgets for this fiscal year and have very little room for major changes or extra expenses that they had not been taking into consideration in the previous year. The special election is the unexpected expense that Sanders County has to work on in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Plains Horsemen and Trotters hoping for successful track season
The Horsemen and Trotters have a team of boys and girls that could very well surprise many competing against them this year. Even though the team had five seniors graduate last year and go on to compete in colleagiate track this year throughout the western region, Plains remains a contender to place high in track this year. There are nine boys on the track team this year, eight more than the previous year. Some of the members of the team are new to track, as Head Coach Denise Montgomery discussed during a recent practice.
