I grew and developed new riends Learning and Working Closer With People Fear gripped my heart-and every other part of my body-as I tnade my way to room twenty-one on tretnbling legs. Not one word any teacher spoke penetrated my petrified tnind. In a few minutes I was to audition for the talent show. As I watched the acts before me, I felt the fear slowly loosen its grip on my body. I knew I would be at least as good as the accor- dion player and his version of USMOKIN' IN TIIIE I5OY'S ROOM. I miraculously completed my audition and I felt confi- dent I had done my best. When the cho- sen acts were announced, I had made it! Y Vim!! Show The following weeks I worked hard with the others involved for a successful show. The fear, uncertainties, and long hours were worth it for the friends I had made working closer with people. Excitement ran high as students pre- pared to strut their stuff during ON BROADWAY, a musical revue. From blues to comedy, from dance to drama, potential was recognized as students per- formed talents on February 10th and 11th. Eric Sheesley and Diana Schromburg, master and mistress of ceremonies, wrote the script making the whole show run smoothly. It was hard work to write the script, but once you get it, it's exciting. Diana said. Hard work was also a key ingredient behind the scenes, but most performers felt the rewards had been worth the work. The rehearsals can be hectic, yet it's exciting when building new friendships. This was Pam Reeves senti- ment when asked if it really was worth it all. Apparently it was, for the musical re- vue proved quite entertaining for audi- ences.

But since the most famous comets first heralded appearance, that also coincided with the defeat of the Saxons by William the Conqueror in 1066, we have tamed the skies. In these times we have do- mesticated the heavens with our satellites and spaceships. Yet even though Halley's Comet has lost some of its power of prediction, it still has a mystical hold on human imagina- tion. With a history of appearing in our skies at intervals of seventy-five to seventy-six years, a person gets to see it at least once in their lifetime. For astronomers, the comet is the opportunity to study what is believed to be the raw material of the solar system. Contrary to popular belief, Halley's frhymes with alleyl Comet will not streak across the heavens as one might think. It will be visible, at first, only through powerful telescopes, but it will gradually brighten until it can easily be seen by the naked eye. It will be fairly low in the sky from most vantage points in the Northern Hemisphere and its tail will be short of spec- tacular, unlike the dramatic 1910 apparition. During that visit, Halley's Comet glowed brighter than the North Star, its tail swept across more than half the sky, and could be heard, by some, whooshing by. The return of I-Ialley's Comet will be a cultural and intellectual event. In the cultural category, the comet will be celebrated in a show of comet art at the Smithsonian's Na- tional Air and Space Museum. It is sure to bring a deluge of intellectual commentaries from the editorial pages. But Halley's arrival is primarily a scientific event. Comets seem closely related to meteors and perhaps asteroids. The head of the comet may consist of ice and meteoric particles. Their tails consist of exceedingly fine gases and dust, expelled from the head of the com- et. Comets shine partly by reflected light and partly because sunlight causes the comet's gases to glow. Since Halley's Comet first shone down coldly on the defeat of the Saxons, the for- tune-telling ability of the comet has disap- peared, but the wonderment of it still re- mains. Current livenrs
