THE KING AND I Hi In the Canterbury High School Auditorium on May 22, 1987 there was the Canterbury High School theatrical performance of The King and I. The world famous play was directed by Canterbury ' s own Dennis Eller, English and Drama teacher in the High School. Assisting Mr. Eller in the student director position was TifiFany Stevens. The lead roles were played by a familiar cast of actors. The role of The King was played by David Andrew and Miss Anna was played by Molly Ginty. Austin Birch played Luntha, and Karen Robinson played the character Lady Thiang and David Habecker, Sir Ramsey. Michael Summers portrayed Krahlahome and Chad Mead portrayed Captain Orton. Due to the large number of actors needed, Anamd Mantravadi had the role of the Prince, and Eric Roberts had the role of Lewis, Anna ' s son. The remainder of the cast was composed of up to 35 K-8 students, High School students, and even some faculty members. They carried the roles of guards, priests, wives, etc., etc., etc. Members of the Fort Wayne Ballet made a special appearance with Annette the dance sequence of The Small House of Uncle Thomas, and to complete the musical, accompanying on piano was by Tyler Reimchisel and Chuck Macklin has returned again as musical director.

With help and planning by parents, Canterbury successfully hosted its second prom, which was bigger and better than the first. Although last year ' s prom was an all-school function, this year it was restricted to the Juniors and Seniors. The prom was held at Club Olympia and the after-prom was a casino and breakfast held at the school until 3:00 a.m. Needless to say, we all had a great time flaunting the fake money we won from the roulette wheels and blackjack tables. We hope that the prom will become a firm tradition for upcoming Cavaliers. above, Candi Lockett, Shawn Brooks, Jay Manno, and Cathy Carder, far left, AlHson Gray gazes at the dance floor while Nick Paflas gazes at her. left, Val Lamos and her date Bob Peters stop long enough to pose for the camera, bottom left, Debbie Parrott and Tom Casaburo. bottom middle, Annette Pfister and Peter Waanders. below.

TRIPS TRIPS AND TOURS . . . and explorations, all are part of our edu- cations. CHS students certainly took advantage of this aspect of their schooling this year as their ven- tures ranged from Cancun, Mexico to Wash- ington, D.C. There were the celebrated tradi- tional such as the freshman-sophomore trip to Stratford, Canada, the ski trip, and the notorious junior college tours as well as a couple new jaunts to Chicago by the juniors and seniors to visit the University of Chicago and see various museums and plays. The adventures began on October 11 with the Stratford trip. The underclassmen spent two days and one luxurious night staying at the Noretta motel on the outskirts of the crty. Upon their arrival, the students saw Hainlet, the first of two plays that filled their itinerary. The second play, A Man For All Seasons, was seen on the next day. Then it was back onto the Motorcoach and home. On October 19, the seniors travelled to the University of ' Chicago Court Theater to see The Oresteia. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than lunch at the Chili Bowl in Valparaiso, shopping at the Watertower and then a good play? As February rolled by (and as the snow melted) CHS ski enthusiasts hit the slopes at Timberidge and Bittersweet in the winterwonderland of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The resorts were not crowded and the grass spots were few so it made for a good trip. Also in February, the juniors and seniors ven- tured back to Chicago to tour the university and see two art exhibits dealing vwth Russian and Asian artists respectively. The junior college tour began on April 11 and lasted through the 16th. They visited several schools including Bucknell, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and American universities. Their es- capades did not quite match those of their predecessors, but then again, everyone has his own style. The tour de force, so to speak, happened after school was out. The senior trip took the graduates all the way to Cancun, Mexico. Their stay lasted from June 13-17 and was, as it is rumoured, un- forgettable. i (top) All the directions you need, (left) Nick Paflas prepares for the college trip, (rignt) Yes Bridget, we ' re finally here! 108
