JA and Campus Life Enrich Students Honon. v.cnl far at the annual JA Banquet, including awards that went to three Barons: Janise Robertson, Liz BIcvins, and Mark ThieU. At 25f an pay, as well hour and overtime i a 10% commission of everything sold, Junior Achieve- ment may not have made a student rich. But, rather, it provided much more in terms of experience in today ' s business world. Perhaps the major event during the school year that all the companies worked for was the annual JA trade fair. This year it was held at the Southtown Mall instead of the customary Glenbrook Center. One student when asked why he liked Junior Achievement replied, 1 think it will help me in my future line of work, plus it ' s interesting and something dif- ferent to do. fiipiPlipMilUil! ' 7 ' .y. Scavenger hunts, camping trips, ski trips, volleyball tournaments, re- freshments — these are all a part of Campus Life. But there is another side revolving around weekly discus- sions of issues affecting students today. Campus Life combined all this to give its members a positive view of life. Active JA members Kris Feller and Cheryl PIcvcich seem to be interested in their com- pany ' s end-of-year stock report. Campus Life meetings gave Karen Johnson and Don Dickman, as well as sponsor Mr. Black, a chance to enjoy themselves. 22 J A and Campus Life

School Play Gets Standing Ovation Long, grueling rehearsal sessions, tired and aching feet, Mr. Nagel ' s constant, constructive criticism; this is only a sample of what the cast for this year ' s school play put up with for six long weeks. But their effort was not in vain. Despite an under capacity crowd, The Matchmaker provided two shows full of entertainment, receiving a standing ovation the final night. The Matchmaker opened with a certain old merchant of Yonkers, alias Don Dickman, who is so rich he decides to take a wife. To accom- plish this he employs a matchmaker, who is portrayed by Tina Altman. The story then moves to New York City where it runs headlong into a series of hilarious hide-and-seek scenes and straight to a climax of complication. After everyone gets straightened out romantically, the merchant of Yonkers finds himself in love with the sly matchmaker herself. Other members of the cast in- cluded Blaine Lumpkins as Cornelius, Jim Schmidt as Barnaby, Sue De- Lucenay who played Irene, as well as many other sophomores, juniors, and seniors who contributed much to the success of this year ' s school play. Mr. Gerry Nagel was the direc- tor and was assisted by Wendy Con- don. The sly matchmaker and Horace Vandcrgelder, the old merchant of Yonkers, appear in one of their many lively discussions. Don Dickman dares not move a muscle as director Mr. Nagel displays his talent at the art of applying make-up.
