Hassles plague students Tardies, library fines, cafeteria lines — put ' em all together and what have you got? Three little, everyday hassles capable of ruining anyone ' s day at school. Tardies seemed to have cap- tured the prize as the biggest pain for most Cadets. The most obvious reason for tardiness was talking too long in the hallway. However, junior Lisa Bearman felt that five minutes wasn ' t always enough time if I had to come from a far classroom or stop in the bathroom. Another excuse according to Kir- sten Roberts was, I usually ended up being tardy when the bells kept getting messed up. Library fines were just as much of a bother for students, yet most agreed they were essential. If I didn ' t get the fines, I ' d forget about my books, said Natalie Durnell. There is a minimum fine of a $1.50, and the end of the year is when we collect the larger fines, es- pecially from the seniors because they can ' t graduate without pay- ing, said Mr. Raymond Pasche, li- brarian. Cafeteria lines presented a third problem. With an uneven number of students divided into the lunch hours, some became more crowd- ed and the lines grew. By the time I got through the line in third lunch, half the period was over and I was still eating when the bell rang, said Gretchen Wather. What we need- ed was a fourth lunch. — Susan Knipstein 16 School Scene

Director ' breaks a leg ' In the midst of World War II a group of sailors and nurses mix com- bat and love on a South Pacific island. The fall musical, South Pacific, consisted of 40 cast members, ranging from an admiral to a souve- nir pushing native. Junior Jill Staley, who played authoritative Com- mander Harbison, commented, I really enjoyed playing the part of a brat. Even though there was peace on the island, an injury was reported. Director Miss Dianne Shrubsall should have been awarded the Purple Heart. I fell off a stool and severly sprained my ankle, said Shrubsall. The play was not all love and war. It took many hours of practice each week. This interfered with other ac- tivities. I had to skip cheerleading practice, freshman nurse T Irmscher stated. Money made from the play went back into the drama department to pay for sets and costumes, techni- cal equipment, and for food and awards at the drama banquet. But all of this couldn ' t have hap- pened without the people behind the scenes. Fifteen students helped backstage. Shrubsall especially credited Tommie Sue Phares, Marty Abdon, Bev Linkhart, Debbi Kruse, and Tim Huebschman, who put in extra time and effort. — Andy Simerman
