BARNUM Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages! Step this way into the big top to see EHS’s spring musical “Barnum. The circus spectacles began even before the curtain went up. Sideshows in the lobby featured a headless woman, the chance for a picture with Dumbo's cousin Tiny, and many magicians performing card tricks and other magic. When the curtain rose, the audience witnessed P. T. Barnum “hum bugging his way to success. Jeff Eberting, playing the title role, declared that the show must go on and performed splendidly in spite of a severe case of bronchitis. Jessica Yothers, Missie Adams, and Sherri Stuart performed their solos excellently, and Max Forstater stole the show with his version of Tom Thumb singing “Bigger Isn't Better.” Sue Lazorchick and Jeff made a charming pair as Chairy and Taylor Barnum and harmonized vocally, as well. Full of energetic clowns, skillful jugglers, and en- thusiastic chorus members, the show delighted young and old alike. During the finale, the characters challenged the audience to join the circus like you've wanted to since you were a kid. And thanks to the hardwork and dedication of cast and crew, we had the chance to join the circus for just one night. All the hard work and time the cast con- tributed to Barnum was worth it, judging by Cindy Mesko's smile Dancers Scott Meola, Karen Bucci and James Zelker take their bows amidst thundering applause Emphasizing a point, John Costello gestures toward the audience 22 Student Life

One can see it in the antics of the raucous fans at the basketball games and hear it in the hallways as melodious notes from Esquires practices float up from behind the stage area. Spirit Week was no exception. This year's Spirit Week showed the enthusiasm and creativity present in our school. Theme days included Slob Day, Dress Up Day, Beach Day, and Inside Out Backwards Day. Beach Day was the biggest hit — possibly because it provided a reprieve in the 25 degree weather and turn- ed students' thoughts to the summertime fun that lies ahead SPIRIT WEEK
