The year, CJHS will be performing "John Lennon & Me' by Cherie Bennett.  Hollywood-wannabe Star, the ultimate Beatles fan, has her path stymied by an inherited disease that assures a young death.  She spends most of her time in the hospital where she confronts fate with imagination by surrounding herself with MTV-inspired bodyguard Flunkies and 'morphing' her dreaded therapy nurse into a pro-wrestler.  Then, Star gets a new roommate Courtney who is Star's opposite, a pretty cheerleader and apparently not very sick.  Neither girl knows much about the other's world, but eventually they come to understand each other, and ultimately, themselves.  This is a powerful play about living life to the fullest and a proven hit for school theatres.

Students interested in UIL Number Sense should go by Room 202 to sign up and receive a packet/permission slip.  Number Sense tryouts will be Tuesday, September 7, and Tuesday, September 14, at 3:30 p.m. in Room 202.

UIL EVENT -- ART:
The art contest involves the study of forty paintings from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and from Texas art galleries and museums.  Students learn to recognize and identify various works of art and the artists who created them.  As part of their study, they will demonstrate a basic understanding of art history and interpret ideas and moods in original art works.  The coach for UIL Art is Mr. Franklin Head.

UIL EVENT -- CALCULATOR APPLICATIONS:
The calculator applications contest is designed to stimulate the development of mathematical and calculator skills.  Goals are both intellectual and practical:  developing mathematical reasoning and knowledge and requiring the application of problem-solving skills toward realistic problems.  Calculator Applications is coached by Ms. Jennifer Myers and Ms. Michelle Cocklin.

UIL EVENT -- DICTIONARY SKILLS
Thorough knowledge of the dictionary is a way to increase a student's ability to find the information that is needed for class work as well as everyday living.  The subject matter of all tests is taken from the Meriam Webster's Intermediate Dictionary.  Contestants may use other dictionaries in the contest, but the correct test answers will be found in the official dictionary.  Mrs. Jennifer Zett is the UIL Dictionary Skills coach.
