Breaking them all! Why break one rule when you can break two? During a chemistry lab Junior Danielle Phillips eats a candy bar violating the regulation of no eating in the lab. She is also wearing a dark blue polo under her white oxford breaking the dress code of “no double layers.” Out of uniform! It seems the boys of Bishop Noll get away with breaking the school dress code more than girls. A perfect example is crew neck sweaters. Senior Andy Klosak passes the attendance office on his way to class after lunch and is not stopped by Mrs. Smith or Coach Vlasic. Detention? Chances are against it. Most teachers don’t even notice if what a student is wearing agrees with the dress code. When one does notice, a warning is usually first given. Stopping by his locker. Senior Gabe Alfaro goes through the day wearing a crew neck sweater and not being warned of his violation. 16 Breaking the Rules

Tradition-al Fiddler On The Roof The curtain opens and the crowd settles down. Mr. Michael Madonia appears and begins the overture of the Fall Musical Fiddler on the Roof. The play is about Jews in Russia who must realize the importance of sticking to rigid tradition and at the same time, letting go. The show opens with the song “Tradition” which tells of Jew¬ ish custom and also discloses a great deal of ethnic flavor to the audience. Fiddler on the Roof shows the changes of a family and of the town of Anatevka. Actors and actresses applied full beards to themselves, learned Jewish folk dances and traditions, and also learned to believe in their characters to such an extent that they brought tears at every performance. Every aspect of the musical was directed by specialists, Mr. Joseph Malczak was the acting director, Fr. Jack Winterlin the musical coordinator, Chris Bo¬ bos the choreographer and Julio Alonzo the makeup artist. Var¬ ious parents also contributed special help with the wardrobe. The story deals with five daughters and the chaos of mar¬ rying them off. Step by step, the weddings deal with stubborn tradition and the gradual loos¬ ening of its grip. The audience had the chance to react with ev¬ ery emotion. A departure scene between Teveye (Peter Perez) and his daughter Hodel (Monica Medina) brought people to tears, yet confusion in the bar¬ tering of Teveye’s daughter Zie- del (Margaret Cafferty) caused side-splitting laughter. Fiddler on the Roof, which contained actual dance steps used in the original Broadway musical, provided intense drama as well as unique humor, will go down in the history of Bishop Noll ad a special and also as a common favorite. What? Breaking tradition! Dancing together, Hodel and Perchik (Monica Medina and Ben Likens), break the tradition of segregation of sexes at weddings. Let us give thanks. In carrying on the Sabbath Day celebration, Teveye’s family prays before eating their dinner. Fall Musical 15

Put that shirt on. During the Winter Sport Spirit week, one of the dress up days was “Tropical Day.” Senior Rick Sikora dressed as a hula dancer. The administration was not too enthusiastic about his bare shoulders and bustline. He was told to wear a shirt for the rest of the day. Warm, but wrong. Even during the sub-zero days of winter, leg warmers are illegal. Senior Tiffany Bass wears a dark blue pair, and decides to suffer the consequences. What were they? Warm legs and no detention. Is “Big Brother” Watching Us Break the Rules? Late, as usual, he dresses in lis usual, haphazard manner. Saving no time for socks, he lulls his topsiders over bare feet. Se throws his tie and belt over lis shoulder when he hears the lonk of his ride. The belt falls, iut he doesn’t bother to pick it ip. “No time,” he thinks, and lurries out the door. He and his buddy decide to top and grab a quick Egg McMuffin before going into the irind for the day. Unfortunate- y, the delay is just long enough for them to catch a train. Strid- ng into the attendance office, he zips his jacket up to his neck to conceal his untied tie and, (dread), his crew-neck sweater. It is his fourth tardy, and the margin for error is becoming mighty thin. Stalking to class, he decides to pick up his already rotten day by catching a tune. His Walkman springs to life and a “Police” song blares into his ears through headphones. At his locker, he ties his tie, making sure that part of it protrudes above the illegal collar of his sweater. Popping a piece of gum into his mouth he heads for class. As he sits in his desk, someone hands him a note. Not wanting to be rude, he replies to the note and sends it back. He sits through the lecture as long as human tolerance allows, then he falls asleep. He is jolted from slumber by the teacher’s raspy voice screeching his name. Un¬ der threat of detention, he wakes up and is then forced to dispose of his gum. He returns to class after lunch with a fresh supply of Milk Duds to sustain him until seventh hour. His Milk Duds last a quick fifteen minutes as he (and a few chiselers) devour the candy. In an attempt to liven up his drag¬ ging seventh hour, he waits until the teacher turns her back, and then nails his friend up side the head with a paper wad. His friend attempts to retaliate, but is caught and given a detention. The day finally ends, and he runs jubilantly for his locker. On the way, he decides to leave a message on his buddy’s locker. The Voice of Doom cries out, “Son, defacing that locker will cost you a detention.” He takes it for Thursday; he doesn’t want to miss Tuesday’s episode of Batman. Breaking the Rules 17
