Moonlight Gver Beardsley by Jenny Wright Pssstl Who are you going with to the Spring Dance? You look up from the doodles you have been drawing on your notebook paper in English class to find your best friend smiling and looking at you with a questioning glance. You im- mediately forget all about your English teacher's lecture ion the uses of commasl that you are supposed to be listening to, you turn to your friend, and the conversation quickly becomes quite interesting. But school dances are more than just an intriguing subject for classroom gossipg they are an important part of the social scene at ETHS, a chance for students to get to know each other in an informal setting, without deadlines and books getting in the way. School dances are especially important because they provide the opportunity for people to meet who otherwise might not even see each other outside school because they don't know each other that well. So whether you're looking for serious romance or just a fun evening with your friends, from that first Freshman Dance right on up to Senior Prom, the ETHS school dances are where you should go!

When It Rains lt Pours by Diana Brown The Rainmaker was performed this year for a udisappointingly small but very responsive audiencef' said cast member Paul Friedman. A family of a father, two sons and a daughter live out West. The father and the sons are worried about the daughter getting married. They fear that she is too plain. Meanwhile, the West is undergo- ing a drought. Along comes the Rainmaker, Starbuck, to end the drought. In the process of making rain, he shows that the girl is not plain but beautiful, said Paul. He gives her and her family a sense of hope that had been missing before. The best aspect of the final performances was the unity of the actors, said sophomore Paul White, who played one of the brothers. When lines were forgotten, they were covered up very well. It all really came together. Junior Jeff Favre worked on crew for the show. According to Jeff, the crew members began building the week after YAMO closed and worked everyday after school for three hours and up to ten hours on Saturdays. The total work for the set took over a month. One comical problem he des- cribed during a performance was an occasion when he was supposed to cook eggs, but the pan would not heat up, so the actor literally had to serve soup instead. The Speech Arts Department at ETHS puts a lot of hard work into its productions, but all of the participants would agree that there are not enough people attending the finished product.
