jg—a-, —' Rehearsals Are Rewarding This year, the school musical My Fair Lady was arranged and put to- gether quite differently from last year's musical. The Wiz. The rehearsals began much earlier to ease the amount of rehearsals per week. The large choreographic numbers were rehearsed every Wednesday by Mrs. Berg, the choreographer, and small numbers were done by Mrs. lacobe on Fri- day evenings. Dialogue rehearsals were three times a week. The most hectic schedule is for the leads, who are in almost every scene. One actor said, That's what comes with being a star, the ability to keep academic grades up and a devotion to that lead role. They have to block and memorize 200 page scripts and learn to sing and dance an average of 5 songs. It's like the sport teams-in order to be good you really have to work at it and that takes time. stated one participant. Everyday after school, and on week-ends, different groups of people work building and painting scenery. Jamie Miceli, a senior at Baker, is designing all the scenery for the show. This is a job that is usually not done by a highschool student. One of the most important peo- ple at musical rehearsals is the ac- companist, Sharryl Wiley. She gives a great deal of her time to play the piano at the choreography rehearsals. The real excitement comes with the last two weeks of the show when sets, scenery, costumes and orchestra are all put together to make up the final touches of the production. The applause of the audience is the true reward.

 Everybody Has a Dream A dream came true for this prom couple, king and queen. Kathy Socker and Rob Carey. Who could have deserved it more! 26 Junior Prom On May eighth 1982, dreams came true for many juniors at their prom, held at the Holiday Inn on Farrel Road. Many couples found that a qui- et, candle lit dinner for two was an excellent way to start off the evening. This quiet time gave them a chance to be alone. Some couples preferred to have it with a group of friends. This was a chance to have a good time with close friends. After dinner everyone headed to the Holiday Inn for the main event. It was a surprising change to how people looked when they were all dressed up, especially the guys! At midnight, dreams came true for a very special couple, Rob Carey and Kathy Socker, who were crowned king and queen. All in all, it was a very special event for all who could come. There was magic in the air that night. Dressed to kill. Fred Klein just about does with his facial expression.
