Having a drink at the village bar, the townspeople await the news of Tevye's deal, Expressing sorrow at the thought of leaving An- netevke are Tara West, Paige Stutsman, Matt Holley and Bethany Axman. Exhibiting her fiddling talent, Laura Ringle per- forms during the first scene as the town fiddler. fff:,,, J The best part tot musicalsl is always the friends you make and the people you get close to, according to sophomore Matt Holley. The spring musical, Fiddler on the Roof, created many memories and hours of fun for all those involved. Tevye QKeith Axmanl and Golde fKatie Atkinsl, throughout the play, struggled to marry off their five daughters. The setting is Annetevka, Fiussia, a small Jewish com- munity. The tradition of the Matchmaker fTara Westl finding a match for marriages is rejected by the girls as Tzeitel lF'aige Stutsmanl marries an old friend of hers, Motel lMatt l-lolleyl the tailor.

Tara Smallie, who played the ghost of Fruma Sarah admitted that being able to perform is always the best part, no matter where you are. The emotions present after the final performance was overwhelming. A standing ovation the performers re- ceived was the perfect ending to the last performances for many.

Pop goes the weasel! Wait! That's not a weasel, it's Sherrill Miller's ferret, Kit. Gnawing on Amy Longbrake's finger is her chin- chilla ,,,,i , lvlost students have owned at least one nobody has enough. Jake and l-lerk have blue, white, and orange. They are fed pet in their lifetimes, whether it was the caterpillar they caught when they were five years old, or the family pet they've had since they were babies. Among these family pets, dogs and cats are the most common. However, some students, like senior Sherrill Miller, like to be different. Sherrill is one of the few students at Concord who owns a ferret. She bought it at the Pet Palace at the Concord Mall and feeds her table scraps and ferret food. When I let her out to play, commented Sherrill, she will hide things that may be lying on the floor. Senior Steve Marjason owns two even more unusual pets. Jake and Herk, his 5 112 foot long boa constrictors, like to feed on live mice. He received them from his uncle in Florida. Feeding them presents a small problem for Steve. I have a prob- lem finding enough mice to feed them, he remarked. I try to buy 10 or 12, but unusual ways of making their presence known that would give most anybody a coronary. My snakes like to curl up under the pillows on the couch, commented E 5 Certainly unusual pets can be risky, but they can also be outrageous, unpredictable, and a lot of fun. 5 ? Steve. When people sit down, they fthe snakesj get mad and will crawl out and scare whoever sat on them. Sam and Odie, two cockatiels belong- ing to junior Jon Konrath can talk and sing at least four or five tunes. Both birds are birdseed, and Jon admits that the bird- seed gets on the floor. One unusual habit that Sam has is flying around the house and landing on the dog's back. Other students who own unusual pets include Amy Longbrake, who owns a chin- chilla that likes to feast on dried up bugs. She rolls in a white powder to clean her- self. Amy remarked, She jumps like a kangaroo and often times she jumps out of our car. Indeed, unusual pets have unusual hab- its. Perhaps this is why most students stick to common pets. A cat won't slith- er out and attack company. Certainly un- usual pets can be risky, but they can also be outrageous, unpredictable, and a lot of fun. Miller remembers, One day my ferret got loose in the house, and when I found her, she was swimming in the toilet! - BY SUSAN POSTHAUER Pets
