Having been a participant in the spring musical for two years, Joanne Johnson feels it has helped her with her singing. One of about 150 stu- dents selected for 1985 Honors Cho- rus, Joanne went to prepare for their Sunday concert. They worked us ev- ery spare moment, remembered Joanne. With breaks only for lunch, the chorus practiced from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Practices were very intense and tiring, but fun, contin- ued Joanne. I met a lot of very friendly people and those were the best two days of my life. Singing alto or second soprano, Joanne also played electric keyboard and piano. Having played piano for five years, she won superior for two years at the East Carolina University Piano Guild. Joanne plans to attend East Carolina to study music.

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd, chant the chorus depicting the working class of London. The special effects gave it an atmo- sphere of reality, said Jennifer Sny- der. The fac- - tory whistle Th really scared me. Other than that the stage was bare, not even having curtains, setting a mood which added to the meaning of Sweeney Todd. As director Gene Lloyd said, The musical is about man's inhumanity to man. It teaches us that revenge should never be sought. These are my friends, sings Sweeney Todd. Mrs. Lovette, played by Michelle Slaughter, watches curiously as Sweeney Todd caresses his long lost razors or his friends? More hot pies! demands the customers. To- bias played by Mike Little fills their cups with ale as they gobble down Mrs. Lovette's deli- cious meat pies. A romance booms in secrecy. Johanna, Cathy Hoyle, and Anthony, the sailor, H. J. Mitchell, had to meet in secrecy because Johanna's guardian, Judge Turpin, wanted to marry Sweeney Todd's daughter, Johanna. YTQQQI

Oh gross. Did your mother dump Crisco in your hair, or what? Actually, she didn't but she did help me get dressed this morning. What do you think of my polyester pants and my grandmother's shoes? lf asked this question on any other day than Nerd Day, someone might have dashed to the phone to call Seventeen magazine with the news that they had the perfect person for their monthly makeover. But since it was Spirit Week no one dashed, but instead gave a reply. You look mah-velous! How h L k M h I about me? What do you think of ey a 'Ve my new Pee Wee Herman taped glasses and neon tie- dyed shirt? Oh, yeah! And don't forget my flower printed bell bottom trousers. Nerds were not the only ones flaunting their spirit that week, as hicks, kings, queens, music stars and gangsters also participated. A few days of D-Hall were earned by some gangsters and their trigger-happy water guns. Worrying about getting D-Hall was not the only concern, though. Getting sick was. The cold weather, not the best for going Greek, prevented a few togas and other such bare costumes, but the cold could not prevent the girls from playing football. On the night of the Powder Puff Game, the Jane Fonda warm-up was done and the positions were assigned and memorized. Everyone came prepared to fight until the final buzzer. From the sidelines the cheerleaders chanted, Push 'em back, push 'em back, waay back. The referee sounded his whistle and the game was begun. ln almost no time at all it was over. For the fourth year in a row, the senior girls once again defeated the underclass girls 18-O. The day after the Powder Puff game, there was the traditional pep rally. Both players and students got psyched up and ready for that night's Homecoming game against Eastern Wayne. During the Homecoming pep rally the varsity cheerleaders offered a 1986, candy apple red Ferrari to any one of the football players that could stand looking at the THING. The THING was so ugly, even a Ferrari wasn't worth the torment , said Glenn McFadden. It was hot! , replied Jennifer Slack when asked how she felt about the Se- nlors winning second place in the float competition.
