jvr ' Anything Goes ' , pertormed April 16 and 1 7, took us on a nautical voyage aboard a 1930 ' s cruise liner.

Martha Burdefte, David Warlick. and cast members worked hard at rehears- als, but no one worked harder than the dancers and their choreographer, Su- san Faust.

One Notch Above The winning tradition at O.H.S. is no accident — it ' s the result of much con- centration, determination, and dedica- tion.

And it was a time to recognize those who not only used their talent but their minds as well. Where did these super athlete come from?
