— M. Zukowski s Da©fla Anything went last March With a cast of 70 people, the characters of Anything Goes began rehearsal. This became very chaotic because no one knew how to tap dance. Everyone had to learn in just a little over three weeks. Laura Noss com- mented, ''Practices often lasted until almost 11:30 p.m. on school nights, but it was well worth it! The play was about the character Billy, played by graduate Scott kern, stowing away on an oceanliner heading for England so he can be with the woman he loves, Hope (Caitlin Miessan). But, she is on trip with her fiance Sir Evelin (Hank Unger) and his mother (Becky Carson). The plot thickens when Moonface (Karl Hansen), a gangster disguised as a missionary, comes aboard and helps Billy hide. The set this year was much more complicated than the one for Damn Yankees because it had two levels with stairs leading to the top plat- form. It looted like the two levels of an oceanliner's deck where people walk around on a cruise. ANCHORS AWAY. Junior Dave Steckel waits for the music to play before beginning his dance routine.

TIPS'TRENDS'TRIVIA BACK TALK Two completely different styles of footwear were on most students’ shopping lists this year. First of all. Bluchers, which could be worn by both guys and girls, were brown, comfortable, sturdy, and versatile shoes. First sold by L.L Bean, they took the school by storm. Junior Christy Buchta said. I don’t know how I survived before I got them (Bluchers)! I wear them all the time.’’ One of the first guys to buy these shoes was junior Matt Davis. He said. I think that they're better than the dreary, over-used docksides. I needed a change. Senior Laura Phillips added. They (Bluchers) go perfectly with any casual prep look, hence their popularity at Bay High School. Besides, they're very comfortable! The only problem is that there is a real con- troversy over how to tie the laces. Personaly, I butchered mine (laces) so they're real short. Nevertheless, not all students wanted to rush out to the mall and purchase a pair of Bluchers. Sophomore Ryan Foley said. I wouldn’t buy them! Besides Bluchers, metallic shoes, especially silver, were a popular item with girls. The various styles made them more personalized than Bluchers, which looked basically the same no matter what brand they were. Owner of a pair of silver loafers, freshman Tricia Skelly said. I like them because they sparkle and they reflect my personality. However, freshman Dan Dockrill said. I think that silver shoes look kind of dumb and they're too gaudy. Neither of these new styles have replaced the old standby — tennis shoes. Next year will tell which was a fad and which was a fashion. - M. Zukowski TAKE A LOOK! As she waits for the driver's lab car. and her instructor Mr Rogers, sophomore Amy Gerbick peers into |anitor Jeff Kocella's hearse The hearse was grey with cream colored curtains. WHO DIED? CRAFTY CREATIONS Bracelets made from embroidery floss were a new type of ac- cessorie found around students’ wrist’s this year. There were numerous different styles, but none of them had any specific name, just this way, or that way. Those who went to Saranac, a Young Life camp, came back last summer and taught their bracelet-making skill to others. Junior Joan Thain said, I learned how to make string bracelets in the summer, from the Saranac people, before they (bracelets) got really popular. When I came to school all the freshman had them — it was embarrassing. Girls weren't the only ones wearing string bracelets — guys were too. Senior Jason Pott said. Someone just put one on my wrist and I liked it. so I'm going to leave it there until it falls off. It looks nice if you don’t wear too many of them. CONCENTRATION! Paying dose at- tention to her work, sophomore Dena on a string No. no one died, but there was a hearse in the parking lot. Janitor Jeff Kocella bought it for $75 in Olmsted Township during the summer. He said. I’ve always wanted a hearse. Everyone either likes it or gives me funny looks. Some people don’t even want to get near it. I’ve been asked if anyone is in there and why I bought it several times. I might even buy another one if the price is right! Sophomore Megan Barnard was one student who gave Kocella's hearse a “funny look. She said, It's pretty bogus! Senior Marty Burchaski agreed with her. I wouldn't want to drive or ride in something that dead people have been in. It’d be kind of scary.” It’s ugly and creepy looking. How anyone can drive something like that — it’s had dead people in it! said senior Chris Stoyko. On the other hand though, junior Sarah Kirby liked it. She said. I think it's great. I’d love one! I think that everyone should have one. I'd like to get one myself, but one with less holes in it, added junior Steve Sink. Freshman Kirsten Fawcett add- ed, I think that it's cool looking, but I can’t picture a janitor driving it; there were dead people in it who have germs and janitors are supposed to be clean since they clean the school. It’s got character, though. Junior Kurt Tarkany commented.“I want to know if he sleeps in there. No, he doesn’t. He just drives it. Mitchell ties another knot bracelet She has learned to make about 10 different styles of these — some from her cousin in Wisconsin STEPPING OUT - M. Zukowski
