Stanley Humphries Secondary School is producing some top
notch students — as these three teenagers prove.

Stories and photos by Glen Freeman

Todd Smee is a young man with a
dream.
“One day I want to be bigger than any
of today’s acting legends,” said the 15-
year-old Grade 10 drama enthusiast.
Bigger. that De Niro, bigger than
Brando — even bigger than Olivier.
And if high school acclamation is a
determining factor, Smee is well on his
way to joining the ranks of acting’s
immortals.
Thespians from all over the
Kootenays recently gathered at the
Nelson Festival of the Arts, four days of
high schools preforming plays and
attending acting workshops.
After the stage had cleared, Smee
walked away with three of the festivals
top honors — Best Actor, Most
Memorable Moment on Stage, and Best
Wet Hankie, the festivals tear-jerker
award.
“Dave Power and I won the most
memorable moment because of a fight
scene we. did,” Smee said.
“That scene really shocked some
people. It looked pretty real.”
Drama teacher Wendy Voykin says
a if anyone earned the awards, Smee

Many people find it challenging to
draw a little stick man.

But some people, like Grade 11

Everybody likes. to keep busy doing
something — hockey, stamp collecting,
or even television:

Eric Ruljancich likes to think.

“I'd like to be a professional thinker,”
Ruljancich said, “but there’s not too
many jobs in that.”

Maybe there are no jobs, but
Ruljancich has proven that thinking
| combined with writing can be profitable.

Ruljancich, 18, entered the Zenith
Masters of Innovation Competition, a
North America-wide contest, and
finished second overall. Zenith wanted
to know how students would use
personal computers to make the globe a
cleaner place. Ruljancich’s idea was to
design a reusable plastic product as a
paper substitute, thus eliminating the
need to cut down trees.

“All printed material in the world
would be available on a database. You
could call up a book, magazine or
whatever, print it up, read it, and then
reuse the plastic sheet later.”

For his idea , Ruljancich was awarded
two Zenith laptop computérs, one for
himself and one for his school.

“I think this is incredible,” said

“Todd is a very able, very talented
young man who comes from a family of
achievers,” Voykin said.

“He is one of the students here who
has an abundance of talent and the
motivation to back that talent.

“I think he can accomplish his goals.”

But until fame and fortune fall at his
feet, Smee will keep on dreaming.

And keep on acting.

“I’ve always liked art,” Lampman
said, “but the first art course I took was
when I was in Grade 6.”

Lampman was at Twin Rivers
Elementary School when a friend told
her about the Robson drawing class.

She started out drawing faces, people
and the likes, “but now I basically draw
everything.”

And Art teacher Donald Fyfe-Wilson
likes what he sees.

“There are quite a number of highly
talented people at S.H.,” he said, “but
I’ve never seen anything like her
drawing ability.”

Fyfe-Wilson went on to explain that
Lampman has “Bateman-quality” work,
after famed naturalist Robert Bateman.

“She’s top notch,” Fyfe-Wilson said.

“I figure she’ll make a career out of
art, and I expect her to be very
successful.”

Lampman said that while being a
true artist is her goal, there’s more too it
than talent.

“It’s pretty hard getting into the field.

When asked which masterpiece she
would most like to own — a Picasso, a
Rembrandt, a Van Gogh, or what have
you — Lampman replied “I wouldn’t
mind having one of each, actually.”

Who knows. Perhaps one day
Lampman will be creating the classics.

their hard-earned computers to good use.
