WONDERS OF EUROPE

STARS EXPLORE THE MANY Last summer, ten students from Mary Star had the unique opportunity to travel to Europe with Giovanni ' s Student Tours. They toured Europe by bus with forty other high school students from Southern California. The various countries they visited included England, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France. For twenty-six days these students experienced the different cultures and customs of these foreign lands, many of which are different from those we have in America. For instance, they were required to pay the bathroom atten- dant before they were allowed to use the facilities. Although all the students enjoyed themselves thoroughly, there were moments when they experienced sheer exhaustion brought on by marathon bus rides (the longest was ten hours) , lack of sleep, and late nights out on the town. Among the sites they took in were the Crown Jewels, the house of Anne Frank, the Cologne Cathedral, the Rhine River, the Vatican, fvlichelangelo ' s David, the Swiss Alps, the Arc de Triomphe, and the ■) fvlona Lisa. Just about the only discomfort they experienced was in Italy due to the stifling Mediterranean heat. Even though there were some rough times, they were overshadowed by the enthusiasm and spirit of the students. Most will remember their travels with great fondness. 1. A shoe factory in Holland. 2.

MOLIERE ' S Sr l iE ilMiES PRESENTED IN MARION HALL One of the highlights of the Fall semester was the MSSHS Drama Department ' s production of Moliere ' s The Miser. (L ' Avare) . On October 8th, 9th, and 10th, drama students staged the difficult Moliere work in Marion Hall. The show averaged a sell-out for all three evenings. The Miser featured a cast of fifteen which included Robert Koval as the spend-thrifty Harpagon; Paul Kaloper as the foppish son, Cleante; and Diana Andersen as Elise, Harpagon ' s daughter. Valere was portrayed by senior Richard Aceves; Marianne by Tara McArdle; and Frosine, the adventuress, by Wendy Redlew. Eric Binkley was featured in a dual role of Seigneur Anselme and Merluche, a servant. Andrea Amalfitano played the role of Master Simon, an in- termediary. Cook and coachmen to Harpagon was Master Jacques portrayed by Andrew Acalinovich. Other servant roles were held by Julianna Roeland, Theresa Lerma, and David Sepulveda. Jerry Carnevale was the officer. Lighting technician for The Miser was Paul Hobus. The Miser, under the direction of Joseph Cottone, was begun during a summer workshop. Much care was given to authenticity and detail of the seven- teenth century work and Moliere ' s wit. Elaborate costumes and wigs were used. A temporary stage, which simulated a stage of Versailles, proved very effec- tive in setting the play. Each evening truly gave an aura of a performance worthy of the Palais Royal. 86 The Miser
