SPLIT IMAGE. Steve Elliott wears green and white to display his school spirit. Elliott painted his face as part of the homecoming festivities. Pick It Up What did you do this weekend? Oh, just messed around. Over the summer, people lounged by the pool, and picked-up basketball games. At night, kids cruised Carlton Street and con¬ gregated throughout the mall. In early August, meandering crowds along the fairs ' midways seldom answered the calls of the barkers. Those seeking adventure, turned to the ferris wheel and swings. In the fall, students returned to the age-old routines of school life. People sat in the li¬ brary, walked the halls, or leaned on the radiators in the mornings. Lunch filled eve¬ ryone ' s stomach, and each afternoon, stu¬ dents fought to stay awake in class. When classes dismissed, kids felt hungry again and counted the minutes until 3:15 when they could make purchases from food and drink machines. Regardless of the time of year or the ac¬ tivities engaged in, everyone shared a similar intention. Guys and girls alike took more than a casual interest in each other. vm. Division

Sour and Sweet Notes Through the school, the rumors were spreading that the musical was going to be a flop. In the au¬ ditorium, the actors were dressed and ready for the dress rehearsal, anticipat¬ ing disaster. Spirits were low throughout the rehearsal. The sets were not finished, and the walls of the Von Trapp mansion fell and al¬ most crushed Jeff Miller. Meanwhile, the Daily News Record tried to take pictures during the mock intermission. Scene changes took ten minutes instead of five, and actors were not in their correct places. Mother Ab¬ bess (Inger Steventon) had bronchitis. Costumes were not ready, and those who had their costumes rushed to change. Finally, the opening night arrived. The audito¬ rium was filled to capacity, the costumes were ready, the sets were up, and the actors were on cue. Everyone was in the right place, and if they were not, they covered their mistakes. Inger Steventon recovered from her illness and was able to charm the audience with her singing. Saturday night ' s performance was better than Friday ' s. There was a larger crowd and a standing ovation. Shannon Dove, male lead in the production, said This musical proved that a positive attitude and a lot of effort can put out a tre¬ mendous performance. That statement is obvious¬ ly true. MELODICAL FUN. James Hiter, Jaimee Harper, David Clark, Mi¬ chele Knupp, and Deanna Han- sbrough gather together. The key¬ board produced sound effects. BEDTIME BALLAD. Maria (Shannon Hummel) and Leisel (Ginny Ruff) sing a lullabye and the children join in. The song My Favorite Things is well known to many. Spring Musical 9
