THE MI .ER written by Moliere is the story of an old man who wants to save his money by getting his children married off to very-wealthy people and getting some money in the bargain. The children, however, don’t like his plans and carry on with their own. The mi er plans to marry the girl whom his son is in love with, who is actually the long-lost sister of his valet who in turn is in love with the old man's daughter. Through all of this, everyone’s love is revealed and somewhere along the line everyone manages to get what they want including the mizer who not only gets rid of his children but gets lots of money-in the bargain and everyone lives happily ever after. The play is a merry comedy of errors and has many confusing twists and plots that are typical of those type of plays. Steve Barhite (the Mizer). questions Tim C.onion (the cook coachman) about a great sum of stolen money. Steve Barhite (the Mi er) picks upon Peter Padilla (Clcante) about bows, buttons, wigs and other frills. 107

TRACKS ACROSS THE OCEANS Brighton High School had six foreign students from five countries. This group included two boys and four girls. They were from France, Japan, Norway, Brazil and Columbia. The students stayed with host families throughout the year and took regular classes at the high school. Some were active in sports as well.
