Don't kuuK the Boat Some said we'd never do it and at times we almost agreed and threw in the towel But the class of '84 had never quit before and we weren't going to this time. So with or without a director or a full cast, somehow we were going to put on a first- rate play performance. After many weeks and tiring hours of rehearsals, learning lines, and building a set, the members of this cast had definitely learned what dedication and sacrifice were all about On December 2nd and 3rd the senior class presented Don't Rock the Boat. and an excellent job they did. When it was all over, they all agreed it was worth it The friendships and memories made would never be forgotten While everything seemed to be running smoothly from the audience, the cast members weren't without worry. Would Dan Small ever be on time for his cues? Will we all be changed in time for the party scenes? Would we all remember our lines? Will we ever make it through without somebody laughing? And what practical joke would be in store for us while on stage? We ll never tell all the backstage in- trigue, but with the final curtain on Satur- day's performance, the critics agreed with us ... The best senior play ever, so much pep and enthusiasm, it was a delight to watch ... '84's Theatrical debut was indeed a first-rate production. Gotcha! replies Shedina Wills at the school performance Mike Mitten commands his crew. Charles Cole. Alan Brookbank.

Addition to Our Opening day schedules were confusing enough — we also had lo cope with the mystery bathroom It turned out to be trie girl's bathroom on the second floor of the addition Oh! no, you mean I'm supposed lo ride that up to the second floor! Our elevator in its early stages of construction Family Finally! The new addition was com- pleted. We not only received a new building, but new furniture and students too! Thanks to our learning and fitness facilities, we have made our school a better place to attend. But it wasn't easy. We had our share of problems. Furniture didn't arrive on time. Not to mention the teachers had to move on a split second. But through it alIC.H.S. survived. This addition cost just over 1 million dollars. Of the total cost, $150,000 came from the state of Maryland, the rest of the money came from the In- ter Agency Committee of Public School construction. The money was put to good use, which also gave us a facility second to none, Mr. Chakales claimed. This addition was also a step towards phase two, which will include an 800 seat auditorium, choral and instrumental rooms, a child care center, reading lab, and a student disciplinary center. 25
