Preparing for the Sabbath, Yente, the matchmaker, junior Lisa Buchanan, arrived to tell Golde, senior Trina Birdwell, that the butcher, Lazar Wolf, junior Ernie Kerns, hoped to marry their eldest daughter Tzietel, soph- omore Eva Patton. But Tzeitel, already in love with the poor tailor, Motel Kamzoil, junior Doug Gooldy, talked of the prospect of marriage with her sister. Tevye, struggling home, met Perchik, junior Scott Willy, a poor student from Kiev, who agreed to teach Tevye’s daughters in return for his keep. Returning home to join his family Tevye met Lazar in the village inn and was persuaded to agree to the marriage of Tzeitel. Tzeitel is told of the plan for her marriage to Lazar. Mo- tel entered and together they confessed their secret marriage. Perchik joined the revolutionaries but before he left he asked Hodel to marry him and she consented. The village heard that Perchik had been ar- rested and sent to a settlement in Si- beria. Hodel decided to join him and marry him there. They were all caught in a maelst- rom; an order from the Tsar com- manded that Jewish families must leave in within three days. Even Tevye, whose third daughter Shava, junior Su- san Ell, had married a Russian, cannot be spared. They leave sadly to start new lives in Poland, the Holy Land, and America. 20 Student Life
