Toybox presents ' Calico Tiger ' U nder the direction of Mr. Chris Gieschen, the Toybox productions entertained chil- dren of all ages with their presentation of the Calico Tiger. Many stars appeared on stage for the first time. The Toybox plays are easier to produce than the fall drama. This pro- vided new people the chance to get their feet wet for the bigger productions, stat- ed Mr. Gieschen. ' Another asset to being in the Toybox was the chance to perform for an enthusi- astic audience. Kids are the best to act in front of. They are not afraid to laugh and express themselves. This is probably the biggest reason I am in Toybox, said Tim Lingenfelder. In preparation for the toybox play The Calico Tiger , the cast pauses to listen to instructions from their director. The Calico Tiger , the Wiseman, played by Tim Ligenfelder ad- vises the jungle animals with his wise sayings. At a toybox theater rehearsal, little monkey, sophomore Kristy Sims, pleads with big monkey, senior Shawn Boutte, not to hit her on the head as Jerome Tiger, played by freshman Bryan Meyer, looks on. toybox 25

In the fall musical Pajama Game four actors, John Stennfeld. Telly Nakos, Dan Konow, and Tim Ligenfelder, bring their song to a conclusion. Students show off musical ability fter practicing for two months, the Con- 1 cordia Players presented a musical enti- tled, The Pajama Game. Why after five years was a musical once again attempted? Basically, there was a lot of interest expressed this year. The cast was large (consisting of 30 peo- ple) but because of their common inter- est, there was a tremendous sense of uni- ty and harmony, commented director Dianne Shrubsall. This seemed to be the reason for the success of the play. Many Concordians who normally would not have attempted a feat on stage appeared for the musical to use their sing- ing talents. The musical was the door that opened my interest in drama. My only regret was I wish I would have dis- covered it earlier, concluded senior Shawn Boutte. 24 fall d.ama

Weekends — a time to get away w ho has never looked forward to those two days away from school after a long week of teachers, homework, and rules? Cer- tainly very few. Weekends were wel- comed by students and teachers alike. Those Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sun- days provided all Concordians with the time to do just a bout anything they want- ed. For some, the weekend was full of pro- ductivity. They could catch up on home- work, begin a new project, or put the finishing touches on something they had begun earlier. Several had jobs while many worked at improving their physical dexterity for sports. Their weekend might even include finally getting around to cleaning their room or just reading a book. Others were more social minded. These people could be seen at shopping centers and cinemas with their friends. They attended Concordia ' s football and basketball games, sometimes going to a dance or out for pizza afterwards. And since they could afford to sleep in the next morning, many Cadets would party and generally have a great time until very late at night. Even a Christian unity was expressed by people who regularly attended wor- ship services and spent time witnessing with OAFC. Some were also involved in a church choir or youth group. Shirbrina Wilson summarized her feel- ings with, The weekend was a time to have fun and get away from school. Many Concordia students spent their Friday nights at basketball games, even though the boys ' season wasn ' t a winning one. Students still show their support by attending the Dwenger game. Some students get together after cuss their plans for the weekend. chool to dis- 26 weekends
