Mark Ziegler, senior, runs past the school with his winter hat on. Winning Sectionals and Spring Break Spring Break . . . the thing everyone could not get off his mind. But those in- volved with basketball had much more to think about. The basketball team had to think of sectionals and then regionals. Sectionals started in the last part of February. The team went against Hauser, and defeated them by a score of 65-50. Then the team went on to smear North by a score of 85-58. Some people felt that school spirit, with the help of cheer- leaders. made the team win. When a team has school spirit behind them, it makes them want to work harder to win,” Cindy McFall, freshman, said. After the team won the sectionals, then came the regionals. That was when spirit was boosted more. On Friday, the day before the game, the school had a Hawaiian Style spirit day. It was for the regionals and for Spring Break. One student wished that other sports, like track, had as much spirit. Spirit is needed for all teams, because it gives them a sense of confidence. Debbie Partlow, sophomore, said. Even though the basketball team was defeated by Bloomington South, by a score of 79-69, the school still had spirit for the team — and Spring Break was approaching fast. Students began to pack their suitcases, whether it was to go to Florida for the sun and beach, or to Arizona, Utah, or Colora- do for skiing, or to visit relatives. Campus Life went to Vero Beach, Flor- ida, for Spring Break. Students who went, paid 228 dollars for their room, charter bus ride, two meals a day , and a day at Disney World. They did not go just for the sun and beach, but to talk about religion. Some even made vows. The insight of religion had a big impact on me. It made me feel better about myself. Rob Hufty, sophomore, said. Students who went skiing, visited rela- tives, or went for a change of pace. And students who stayed home, went shop- ping, visited relatives, or stayed home to watch soaps. So whether it was sunning, skiing, shop- ping, or watching soaps, it was a break from school and that made Spring Break great. by Anthony Campbell 22 Spring Activities

Spring Musical A Success V ne WeeA: Preparation When someone hears the words South Pacific , they think of palm trees, beaches, plenty of sun. and laughter. But the musical South Pacific is not quite to that effect. The setting of the play. South Pacific, was in the Southern Pacific Islands. But the time The marine was played by Craig Barkhimer and Jeff Bray. The character's name was Lt. Joe Cable. The island girl. Liat. was portrayed by Leslie Tindell. The play had comic charac- ters. who were Bloody Mary, played by Linda Oliverio and Merrilee Goodner. The other cast was much harder to learn, but it gave us all a challenge. Linda Oliverio. senior said. Some embarrassing moments to Cheryl Smith were, That after long hours of prac- tice of saying a line over and over, or doing the same dance routine, words can get mixed was during World War II. Also, there were two love stories involved in the play. The first story dealt with an older gentle- man. in his forties who was in love with a young nurse. Kevin Welsh and Scott McClin- tic played the older gentleman's part, whose name was Emile. The young nurse was por trayed by Cheryl Smith and Tammy Baldwin.

Ray LeBlanc, director of the play, said, Weather was a major complication in com- pleting the play. He continued, When hav- ing a double cast one person acts, while the other person sings, so everyone needs to know their part down pat. Some cast com- ments about the play, were much the same. up. or someone's feet does the wrong step. The cast could not understand how LeB- lanc. Mary Clark, music director, and Pete Foster. Orchestra director, could put up with all of the cast, especially with long hours of practicing. Also, these teachers did a great job producing the play. The cast did not know anyone with that much patience. by Anthony Campbell with an island girl, who lived on a plantation.
