The middle school building corpo- ration sought to raise Sl0.8 million via a public bond sale. This corpora- tion opted to sell the bonds to a broker, who in turn sold the bonds at his own risk. This is called a negotiat- ed sale. The school raised Sl l,440,000 through the negotiated sale. The bond sale was handled by a five member Middle School Building Corporation. The members were Dale Pierce, Bob Shuee, Dave Hurst, Bob Hutchings and Jerald Calbert.

IB and Construction On November I I, I986, the city of Greencastle learned that its largest employer, IBM, would close by March of I987. The Greencastle Community Schools had 200 students whose par- ents worked at IBM and half of them were at the high school level. Howev- er, most students stayed with friends until the school year was over. Senior Lori Combs expressed her feelings by saying, I am lucky that this is my senior year and I have all ready accepted the fact that I may never see certain members of my class again. by Debbie Danhour 1 r 2 3 O i ............

Performing is Magic it l As the lights dimmed, a heavy hush feHuponthecrowd,wHhthesoundof the curtain motors their neck hairs stood erect with tingle. Suddenly the spot light cut through the darkness, creating a stage where before was only darkness. Thhsmnahonwasacmnmonone this year in Jess McAnally audito- rium. The Thespians started out the year with Magic, Magic, a play about a young woman who rents a loft only to discover that she shares it with an entire magic troupe. With the falling of the snow came the One Acts, only thm yearthey were presented as a dinner theatre. Four plays were in- volved in the One Acts. They were: The Cop and the Anthem, which was about an educated vagrant who B trying to get arrested so he will have sheherforthe whwen The second was the Lottery, which was about a small farm community which holds an annual set morbid lottery. The third The Man Who Died and Went To Heaven is a hotel and God is the man- ager and finally was the Open Win- dow where a little girl who has an in- fatuation with lying gets everyone in trouble. As the snow turned to water and themeeksonceagmnbegantoHow, so did the ideas for the Spring Produc- tion. After much thought a Variety Show was chosen over a play. Try- outs were held, and everything from air-bands to real bands gave the pre- sentation on the night of the show. by Mark Frisbie 5 444 l 6 Plays It's not easy being the boss as these student directors find out during auditions for the one acts.
