“The Man Sells Bands!” “The curtain rose promptly at 7:30PM, so I knew already it was going to be a good performance. Rarely did a play ever start on time. The opening scene was perhaps one of the finest. Set up in a train car where seven trav- eling salesmen were on their way to swindle people out of their money, one thing led to another, and before you knew it, they were rhyming to a beat.” So be- gan a student review of The Music Man. The next scene intro- duced Harold Hill (Jay Macke), a traveling sales- man and scam artist, presently selling boys bands. What Hill had not anticipated about River City was Marian (Megan Leukart). While he caught the town up in his scheme, he was caught up in Marian. But the whole madcap scheme was so much fun, by the time Hill was “found out,” no one really cared any- more. An otherwise dull town had come to life with excitement and an- ticipation. The fighting school board began singing in harmo- ny, and the children took an interest in the “Minuet in G.” The spring musical left, not only River City’s townspeople, but also Bexley’s, singing “76 Trombones”!

 ----------Mini-mag Lunchtime Rush Five senior guys chill outside on a gorgeous day during lunch. Carrie Cramer, Nicole Cordel, Julie Kuss, and Katie Weiss pon- der life in the cafeteria. Mike Mascari cruises home for a traditional Italian lunch. Josh Hara and Josh Klynn proved themselves to be two truly interesting and well-known individ- uals this year. Their per- sonalities added a unique quality to their cartoons. Hara shared some of his philosophy, “Fear no art, for it saves lives.” Klynn added, “Three years ago we knew every- thing. Now we know noth- ing. Education is the pro- gressive discovery of our own ignorance.” But they both agreed, “We are all God’s little cartoons.” Jennifer Gurwin Josh and Josh: creative geniuses at work. It was 11:41, hunger pains were strong and all eyes moved from the teacher to the clock — waiting for the second hand to sweep past the twelve. The bell rang, and the lunchtime rush roared into life. Students scrambled out of classrooms frantically, try- ing to get to their lockers and meet with friends. The possibilities were endless, as long as they fit within the meager fifty minutes al- lowed. Some students, mostly underclassmen, chose to eat in the cafeteria because if offered wide selection and inexpensive prices, and be- cause their friends also con- gregated there. Upperclass- men fortunate enough to drive were able to provide rides home for friends or to their favorite fast food restaurants. The rush continued as students stood in line or made lunch at home. Un- fortunately, it seemed as if lunch ended as soon as it began, for quick glances at the clock revealed that it was time to return to school Seth Mitchell 21
