A time for ACTIVITIES Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Anxious clock-watching par- ents may have found it hard to believe that students could spend so much time at school. The ludicrous became the routine as play rehearsals, debate practice sessions, or band practices lasted far after the official school day” had ended or began long before it started. Some students even devoted summer vacation time to school activities by attending journalism or drill team camps. A lucky few language club members took time to tour Germany or France. While midnight was Cin- derella's dance curfew time, Assumption students set- tled for 11 p.m. as major dances were shortened in length by one hour. During Homecoming week, SADD mummies took a day out of time to raise awareness about the possibly fatal effects of drinking and driving. Spare time was an unheard of commodity as com- mitments to books and activities and jobs often collided. Yet, for others, the distinction between learning and participating was a fine one. The Outdoors Club spon- sored a class on boating safety and chorus and band members met regularly as a class. Monogram Club members were doubly involved as membership re- quired one to have first attained an athletic letter award. Overall, organizations ran smoothly, just like clockwork, and contributed to the day to day cycle of Assumption life.

AAental exercises require total concentration. Sophomore Mary Smith and freshman Ann Zeckser worked hard at mastering specific ges- tures. Suspenseful, surprising, and utterly successful “Rehearsal for Murder required the efforts of both cast and crew. Freshmen worked alongside seniors to provide lighting, sound, props, make-up, tickets, sets, and publicity. Who done it? What would one call a play within a play about a play, Rehearsal for Murder, of course. The curtain opened a little after 7:30 p.m. October 16 and 17, to Alex Dennison (Dennis Sekharan) who talked about his lost love, Monica Wells (Sophia Thomas), a very pretty actress who supposedly committed suicide. Alex, who did not believe Monica could kill herself, wrote a play about the last days of her life, in order to find out what really hap- pened. Scene two opened exactly one year after Monica's death. Alex gath- ered anyone who might have had any reason to kill her, including; Bella Lamb (Beth Howard) — a successful producer who had money on the line for the play; Karen Daniels (Mary Smith) — an understudy for Monica; Lloyd Andrews (Tony Rothert) — the director ; Leo Gibbs (Tony Verdon) — an actor and Karen’s ex-husband; and David Matthews (Greg Mueller) — another actor. Before everyone else arrived, an unnamed killer impersonating the de- tective who was there the night of Monica's death arrived, walking up the aisle. Alex started the meeting,’’ actu- ally a rehearsal for his play. All of a sudden the lights went out — a scream, a struggle, gunshots, and finally someone found a flashlight. Lights , yelled Alex, because he then knew the killer's identity. Only the murderer could have known where Monica kept the flashlight which was in her study the night of the murder. The audience was quite surprised with the revelation of the murderer, the imper- sonating detective. Director Dave Watson, who was as- sisted by Student Director Jim Koenig- saecker, commented, A funny prob- lem occured in the slap scene between Sophia and Greg because Sophia kept missing his face because he was so much taller. Make-up crew member, Margo Hammes, stated, Don't ever try to put make-up on guys because they won't sit still long enough. Fall play
