I think we deserve bigger lockers. — Melanie Roberts I wish the counselors would take more interest in the students. — Chris Norborg I wish the underclassmen would stay out of the senior hallway.

On inarch 27-29, 1987, the Clay Auditorium came alive with song and dance as Clay ' s Music and Drama departments put on Willson and Lacey ' s The Music Man. The famous musical com- edy about a fast-talking salesman named Harold Hill, and his adventures in River City, Iowa has been a favorite among audiences for years. The cast of approximately ninety-five members was headed by graduate Fred Hart- zell (Professor Hill), senior Kim Snyder (Marion Paroo), ju- nior Colleen Loeffler (Mrs. Pa- roo), and graduate Brent Marty (Marcellus Washburn). Special guest appearances by staff members Mr. Dan Kasper, Mrs. Sheila Emge, Mrs. Frances Lein, and Ms. Dianne Cham- bers added to the production. Seeing some of my teach- ers on stage was really enjoy- able — and humorous! , stat- ed an anonymous junior. Behind the scenes were Mrs. Dorothy Powers (musical and production director) and Miss nancy Shelley (drama direc- tor), who both put in a great deal of patience and hard work to insure the show ' s success. Mr. Jerry Lackey, Ms. Qanette Smith, and Mr. Jeff Christiana did an excellent job coaching the orchestra. Every one who took part in the show gave up their after school hours and weekends for more than two straight months. It was time-consuming. but 1 got so much out of it. , stressed Kim Snyder. On all three performances the show received high praise. They seemed so profession- al, I couldn ' t believe it was a high-school production! ' said senior Jeff Sriver. Because of extensive prepa- ration (not to mention raw tal- ent), the cast and crew of The Music Man put on a showthey could be proud of. — Jennifer norborg Music Man 17

Clay high school is also widely known for its parties which can be pretty exciting. Other students from St. Joe and Adams can be seen at these social functions all the time. Our parties are the best in the city, said an anonymous junior. Every- where from a small get together to a very large gathering with sixty to seventy people Clay students always have fun. I like the fact that a great deal of our parties are seniors only. It keeps out the annoying freshman!! said senior Sue Getz. Clay students always find a reason to have a party. Birthdays were a very popular reason. Senior Jenni norborg said, The reason I had my party was my birthday but also so my brother ' s band could practice.
