Godspell is a Godsend Providing a controversial musical for the first time in re- cent years at Goshen High School, the Crimson Players presented Godspell as their spring musical. Godspell, a moderen look at the Bible, is often a censored play. But sell-out GHS crowds proved that the musical was highly demanded here. The Godspell cast includes Mike McEachran as Jesus Christ; Corey Stewart as John the Baptist Judas. Tim Mitch- ell, Lisa Gibbon, Kim Johnson, Kellie Moynihan, Tina Lam- bright, Elaine Wiggins, Diane Folk, Mindy Wieland, Matt Beck, Michelle Milne, and Eric Winningham as other Biblical characters. Godspell is an adaption of the book St. Matthew. The scene of the play takes place in no particular time nor place. The meaning of the musical was to take the audience through the parables and teachings of Christ. As the sto- ry unfolds, the characters be- come more excited and the ex- citement for what Christ is tell- ing them becomes contagious. The second act opens as a recap of ac t one, but soon the action became a more serious nature as the characters be- gins to realize what Christ will need to sacrifice for them. Some of the more inspira- tional songs that the cast sang were Day by Day, Save the People, and By My Side. (by Carmen Miller) Jesus tells Ann and Tim that if one of tfieir hands has sinned, they should cut it off and throw it away, (by Whittern) Kelli Moynihan asks to be forgiven after she realized she has done wrong unto others, (by Whittern) p 19-|

Select a class Studies Stand Out No longer could students gladly be released from class to face the decision of a lifetime in arena schedul- ing. No more was there the jug- gling of all the class cards and waiting in long lines only to find that the hour you wanted was filled. Goshen High School, under new administration, was striv- ing for improvements that made the tedious jobs a little easier. The year ' s new change involved using computers to plan the students ' schedules, instead of arena scheduling. The modification was met with mixed emotions. It was a good idea, but there could have been some improvements, said Carl Hel- rich, sophomore. Junior Fred Buckingham dis- liked the new computers. I liked the arena scheduling be- cause the students knew what they were getting, and there was less confusion trying to reschedule at the beginning of a semester, he said. Many students found that they didn ' t like their pre- planned schedules. Not getting the teacher or class hour caused pupils to head straight to the guidance office, where they would spend up to hours waiting in line to talk to a coun- selor. Anger and frustration for some students died down as their classes were switched or as time progressed. Others were pleased by what could be called luck, allowing for accept- able schedules the first time. It was obviously a disaster. A computer may be efficient, but I ' m not sure how practi- cal, said Becky Swanson, sophomore. The National Math Contest is a grueling couple of hours of testing.

The 1985 CRIMSON was an award-winning yearbook, and more 1986 yearbooks were sold than ever before, (by Whittern) p21 -1 Academic Divider -
