rnan Kenny R hat do changing dirty diapers, cleaning houses, digging ditches, and mowing lawns all have in common? They were odd jobs that enterprising students did in their spare time to make money. These jobs were flexible and sometimes done in ad- dition to a scheduled occupation, such as working in an office or fast food res- taurant. Tutoring was another means of mak- ing money. Mr. Klint and Mu Alpha The- ta provided a lengthy list of tutors for many subjects. Senior Shane Sauby tu- tored in science and math and figured it was better than working at McDonald's because of the experience of working with individuals and building interesting relationships. To avoid the humdrum of daily occu- pations, students looked for other inno- vative ways to obtain an income. Mi- chelle Miller, a senior, enjoyed making radio commercials because, it is al- ways a new job. Sophomore Jaz Wray made three dollars and fifty cents for each subscription to the Daily News he sold. He found the job was better than selling clothes or making tacos because, it requires less hours, pays well, and is just worth it. Odd jobs had drawbacks, but they were basically worth the money due to convenience and little time involved. Erin McTigue, a senior, commented that although changing a kid's diaper wasn't the high point of babysitting, the job allowed me to balance school and my other job. by Heather McCormick atch N ing, hood Odd Jobs little off the top please.

The play was Lady Audley's hen is it O.K. to boo and hiss during a play? When it is a melodrama like the fall play, Lady Audley's Secret. A melodrama is a play that actively encourages audience involvement. The play went like this: Lady Audley fMichelle Millerj had been married to George Talboys fDarin Millerl but after she had wasted away his for- tune, Talboys left to remake his wealth. Left alone, Lady Audley sent a false mes- sage to her husband that she had died and she turned to Sir Michael Audley fEric Graves, and his fortune. When Talboys returned, he visited Robert Audley CChris Beeneyl, the son of Lord Audley's first marriage, on the Aud- ley estate. Talboys quickly discovered the resemblance between his supposed- ly dead wife and Lady Audley. Lady Aud- ley soon saw that Talboys would be a problem to her plan so she whacked him over the head and dumped his body down a well! The only problem with Lady Audley's plan was that Luke Marks tTim Sweeneyj saw her dispose of Talboys and rescued him! The play progressed from here until the climax when Lady Audley attempted to kill Robert and Luke but failed and Talboys was shown to Lady Audley to be alive and well, with the audience cheer- ing all the time. The play was so much better because the audience was so in- volved, said Chris Beeney. The play was frequently broken up by olio acts. The olio acts included the mor- al song Always Take Mother's Ad- vice , the dramatic monologue The Charge of the Light Brigade, and the virtuous song Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl . The olio acts provided a break from the play and added a humorous twist when Principal Mr. Nicholson came out as the evil man in one of the acts! Many students found the play to be the best that they had seen while at CV. lt was the best play l've seen, complimented Joe Aguilar. The actors enjoyed the play as much as the audience did. The actors put in many hours of rehearsal and many found it to be rewarding. My character was fun, because she got to kill people, said Michelle Miller. With the combination of a fine display of acting, a superb choice of play, and an enthusiastic audience support, the fall play was an outstanding success, by Steve Pfeiffer Fall Play Lord A udley
