Barb Loehne and Pam Christiaens spent many frustrating hours at the alumni tea dipping gallons iff' of punch into paper cups, only to realize that it was gone as soon as it was served. Spartanettes Motto: To Serve, To Usher Hostessing sometimes caused Rose Jenkins to wonder whether she would get any of the punch. Serve on the left, remove on the right? Or is that serve left, remove left?', , Problems like this confronted many first time Spar- tanettes and caused them to go running to their sponsor, Miss Karyl Arnold for aid. The hostess club began its second year with pink dresses and scarves that were worn with gloves for usher- ing at many school affairs. Spirited members were urged into hostessing for almost anything that came up with the idea that all active members would receive pins and just maybe . . . a little free food. Activities 87

- 3:5 we The magical pot turned into dross, yet all ended well as Senator Rawkins lost his bigotry, Susan initiated Og into the f. e N4 ',--H mortal world, Woody and Sharon were married, and Finian set off after another rainbow. Finians Rainbow Finds A Place in the Sun Mr. Saunders and Mr. Groen shared the headaches of directing students and correlating music and dialogue. Leprechauns are not a figment of the imag- ination. Proving this beyond a shadow of a doubt was Og, the leprechaun from i'Finian's Rainbow. Between his missing crock of gold, Finian McLonergan's get-rich-quick schemes and a senator who turned colors, there was never a dull moment. Rehearsals were also anything but dull, as the cast had only 75 weeks in which to re- hearse. When Steve Dickie, the original Og, became ill, Deane Sager had only 2 weeks to learn his part. Despite this, he gave an out- standing performance. In charge of the musical aspects of the show were Mr. Lowell Everson and Mr. Richard Saunders, while Mr. David Groen and Mr. Lewis Kaplan worked out the blocking. The cast and crew may never see another leprechaun and crocks of gold are very hard to come by these days. Discouraging? Not really. For even though the end of the rainbow eludes all mortals, Finian's Rainbow has brought it much closer. 89
