The CAC Fall Drama Production is coming to Mustang Mountain to perform The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe starting Friday, Dec. 2. Our students have worked alongside Mrs. Morton for countless hours to bring an amazing production to our school’s community. The cast includes students of all ages and not just high school students. 

Mrs Morton said she could not be more thrilled about the play this year. 

“We are so excited to finally have an audience for the play," she said. "These students have worked so hard and are ready to share this beautiful story with their friends and family.”

Lucy Tucker, daughter of English teacher Mrs. Tucker, is playing a unique role as she plays the character “Lucy” in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. 

“I am looking forward to being able to perform and make good relationships with the older kids," Lucy said. "I wanted to be Lucy in the story because it is my name, and I grew up reading 'The Chronicles of Narnia.'"

We encourage all students to go out and watch our fellow students perform this amazing production as they have spent so much time and effort into making it a performance to remember. You can see it Friday, at 7 p.m., Saturday at 7 p.m. or Sunday at 2 p.m.

Five seniors signed to continue their athletic careers at many different colleges. On Nov. 17, Harrison Richmond signed to Henderson State University, Webb Watson signed to The University of Memphis and Lane Bourne signed to Arkansas State University at Three Rivers.

Brandon Bauer, a Senior wrestler and member of the Pony Press, decided to pursue his education and wrestling career at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and signed on Nov. 15.

This week on Speak Up, Ella Blakely, who signed with Ouachita Baptist Nov. 28, shared her experience on her commitment and why she chose to attend to OBU.

Ella has been playing softball since she was five years old and has stuck with it ever since due to the community as well as friendships that she built. “I really liked the social and Christian aspect of [OBU] due to the fact that they don't force Christianity upon you — they give you a choice. My goals going into my freshman year of College are to get used to the independent atmosphere and get used to being an adult.”

Ella’s advice to people who would want to play a sport in college is to put forth a lot of hard work and communication with coaches. Being in touch with coaches and having conversations with them helped her get to where she is now.

We love having fun with our poll, but we also want your voice here to create changes and help guide actual decisions to make our school a better place. Thank you to the hundreds of you who contribute to this space each week!

This week's Bereal is with the 6th grade class during our Winter Sports Pep Rally. Some were lit, some were litter, and some were literal.

Verisimilitude

Definition: The appearance of being true or real.

Example: From its roots, verisimilitude means basically "similarity to the truth". Most fiction writers and filmmakers aim at some kind of verisimilitude to give their stories an air of reality.
