The Motley Axe of Spring Spring is tough, all right. Gorgeous weather entices the student into a lackadaisical mood and lures him away from his studies. And if the weather weren ' t enough, activities of all kinds divert the student from the books. Student Council election week provides a week of chaos, as candidates resort to any and all inducements to persuade students to cast ballots their way. The annual Spring Formal — last spring at the Racquet Club with the Generics playing — allows us to dance away more study time. The annual Student-Faculty Barbeque with baseball game and tennis match for entertainment is but one more diversion. Last spring we defeated Montgomery Bell in both sporting events. Last spring we saw over 1200 Latin scholars from across the state invade the campus for the state Latin convention. We gave up and called a school holiday. Somehow, though we managed to get it done. Despite the enticements and difficulties we stayed on top of it. A group ofMVS ' ers — Douglas Gayden, Andrew McDermott, Jon Van Hoozer, Reggie Rich ter , Man Loveless, Jack Ross, and Philip McCaull — joined hands with millions of other Americans across the nation in Hands Across America. Although the attempt to form a human chain across the country failed, millions of much- needed dollars were raised for America ' s indigent The bearded lady and the cyclops are exuberantly enjoying the state Latin convention held here in April, as shown by their joyful facial expressions. Young Lee digs into some well-deserved barbecue at the Student-Faculty Barbecue. Young was the official scorekeeper later during the baseball team ' s win over Montgomery Bell Academy. SPRING 13

Musical Revue U With fantastic lighting, highly trained voices, and energetic dancing, Musical Revue II: Rock ' n ' Roll Is Here To Stay rocked in Hyde Chapel last May. Tracing the music and attitudes of American youth through the 50 ' s, the 60 ' s, and the 70 ' s, the talented cast packed the house three nights running. From Mindy Keyes ' opening Rollin ' on the River to Shelley Harrison and Ben Brunt ' s Devil Went Down to Georgia, it was non-stop entertainment. Favorite audience numbers were Bill White ' s Blueberry Hill and the Motown Medley by Kathie Johnson, Mindy Keyes, Amy Murrell, Karen Patterson, and Lacey Wadlington. Other show-stoppers were Amy Murrell ' s rendition of Memory and Kenneth Webber ' s hilarious readings of rock lyrics. Director Andy Saunders, good- humored but demanding, with Mr. Phillip Eikner (Costume Design), Mrs. Brenda Russell and Whitney Grizzard (Choreography), Mr. John Hiltonsmith (Music Direction), Bernhardt Trout (Lights), and Ryan Riggs (Stage Mgr.) provided the leadership for the veteran cast which included Carol Ann Carter, Cliff Goldmacher, Lee Harkavy, Andrea Sabesin, Jen McDearman, Michael Patterson, and Jonathan Ringel. Music was provided by a student band composed of Goldmacher, Grattan Brown, Tommy Garner, Mike Higginbotham, Jeff Schlosberg, and Julie Rim. Hey, bird dog, keep away from my quail! threatens Kenneth Webber as Trip Robertson and Brian Israel recoil in understandable terror, during a segment called Rock Lyrics Exposed. The audience rocks back and forth along with the cast during Andy Shelley ' s rendition of Rockin ' Robin. MUSICAL REVUE 11 15
