First Hnnual Edison Pops Successful The first fperhaps annualj Edison Pops Concert took place on November 14, 1973. Everyone in the Community was invited to the program which was planned to prove that Edison's facilities could be used for something other than athletic events and also to provide an evening of free en- tertainment. The program was fashioned after the famous Boston Pops concerts. Thirty sophomores, juniors and seniors fgirls dressed in pinafores and boys in vests and bow tiesj helped serve coffee, coke and popcorn to the small candle-lit tables for an hour before the show began. At 8:30 Mr. Lee Wood- ward, KOTV newsman, took the stage to host and add to the program by singing with the symphonic band. The band played medlies from both South Pacific and No No Nanettef' in which members of concert chorus sang and danced. Then Kathy Allen U973 graduatej was fea- tured playing the Greig Piano minor and and Denise interpretive Concerto in A Leslie Grayson Duvall did an dance to Doin' Time. The with 'Okla- program closed homa and the audience sang along. At the end of the evening, Mr. Woodward suggested making the affair an annual event and the crowd seemed agreeable. Maybe we will give it another try next year. 3.

QQ may he 'Better luck Hext Hear' tt The theme was anybody can, but evidently we could not. This yearts Canned Foods Drive brought in a total of around 3,000 cans compared to 6,000 last year and 30,000 the year before. Evidently, our apathy is growing stronger every day . The seniors won the year's competition between classes, with approximately 1,300 cans. Sophomores were second with over 900 and juniors came in last place with 400 28 c Canned Foods Drive cans. Collectors gathered in the fieldhouse afterwards to listen to a rather unplanned folk fes- tival, made-up of Edison students. Finally, the small crowd made their way outside in the rain to see Vaughn Brock and Steven Waller ftenth and eleventh grade pres- identsj get pied by Clay Sublett and Madeline VVhitlow fsenior class officersj. All we can say is Better Luck Next Year. 1. Mr. Jim Womack seems to be canning it up. 2.

Hctnrs Capable Ut Hlmust Hnuthinq Sweeny Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Streetf was performed on November 8 and 9, but the people that saw the play happen on stage could never possibly know what went on behind the scenes. Ev- eryone is probably aware that drama-type people are capable of almost anything, and when you put about twenty of this kind of people together, good things will start to happen. To begin with, the play had a few scenes that involved blood, and the artificial plasma that was used was thick, sticky and not very tasty at all. An innocent bystander might have seen Rick Shaffer washing the gummy mess off his wounded head or Karen Barber making a mad dash to the water fountain trying to get the horrible taste out of her mouth before it came out on its own. The boylgirl situation found Valerie Carpenter, Iennifer Little and Karen playing extra parts of the senior women , and flirting with everything ffrorn sophomores to seniorsj that was male. And then there was poor Lance Williams who had a knack of walking in on the girls fixing their makeup in the boy's bathroom, because the girl's room was always locked. Cast members will re- member Iason Graae as every girl's lover , Dean DeMerrit as swallower , Tim Han eighth-grader a funny Beach as with class , Vaughn Brock as LATEl' and Tracy Brown at- tempting to get bubble gum off the seat of Mark Hood's blue jeans. 1. Dean DeMerritt attempts to free Valerie Carpenter from the un- desired affections of Iason Graae. 3. Fallin down the treacherous barber chair for the second time is Jeff Fontaine. 4. Murder charges are read by David Weir. 7. The bothersome Karen Barber is finally finished off by a fatal razor cut. 30 o Sweeney Todd
