UYS A D DOLLS A Sneezing, Stripping, Miffionmfy Maxim! -Bobby Pickard, Benny y To reach any goal, a group must have unity, talent and dedication. lThe success of an endeavor depends on the support of this ,trinity by the persons involved. L Every year, CAHS produces a musical. Every year, the trinity shows through. This year, the CAI-lSmic players performed Guys and Dolls , a crap-shooting, sneez- ling, stripping, missionary musical of the forties. A Talent is a must in theater. Although every character need not be masterful in every aspect of per- forming, each member of the ensemble must have some con- tribution to make, whether in song, dance or the swift execution of a scene change. The word ensem- ble refers to a group of people working as a team, not individuals of people performing for selfish satisfaction. A laugh is a laugh for the company, and silence is just as much the burden of the chorus as of the main characters. Mood sw- ings affect the whole cast, crew and orchestra as do lurking streptocci. ' se. IIB jun fl' Dedication is always essential, it was dedication that brought Guys and Dolls to the State Thespian Conference at Ashland College. Shared by only three Ohio high schools per year, the invitation was the culmination of over three mon- ths of hard work. Looking back on Guys and Dolls 1987, the trinity is apparent. There should be no doubt that the CAHSmic Players will retain this spirit for years.

DANCE coMP NY An Ummm! Oppofffzmifyfor CAI-IS Stzzclenif -Connie Trimble, member Three years ago, when I was debating whether I wanted to at- tend my home high school, I heard about the CAHS Dance Company from a friend. Having attended , regular public schools all my life, a Dance Company sounded like fun. I decided to go to CAHS. ' My freshman year I impatiently ,waited for auditions. After I made it into Company I wasn't disap- pointed. There are many levels of experience and training. Every- thing is student-run and all dance pieces are choreographed by Com- pany members. Mrs. Dunaway, our advisor, helps us, works out the business and yells when we need it, but she lets us learn from our own mistakes. Our concert-The Dance Collage, was held in the fall. From the time we returned to school we only had 2Vz months to put together a two hour concert. It was difficult to learn and rehearse everything we needed to in that amount of time but despite the rush, nine new pieces were presented. Once again the school board re- quired us to participate in the All- City Drill Team Competition. Un- like last year, we were allowed to perform as a dance company and not a drill team. This made it much more fun. Auditions were held as we returned from Christmas break. With ten seniors leaving, there was room for many new members. Once a new company was estab- lished, we started technique classes in ballet, modern, jazz and tap. Some people found this boring, but everyone agreed it was necessary.
