Luuace: “Ja Eat on Most students would probably agree that lunch is the best part of the school day. They might not agree that eating the cafe- teria food, with pizza every other Wednes- day, is the best part, but they know that they get 35 minutes of free time to do what- ever they want ... well, almost anything. Students know, of course, that they aren’t allowed to leave the school grounds, although there are rumors that some have tried it and maybe even gotten away with- out getting caught. Lots of Barons used the benches in the hall as places to sit and relax while catch- ing up on the latest gossip, watching other students walk past, or munching on a can- dy bar. Others spent their lunch time in the gym in friendly games of horse or one-on- one. But when it got warm outside, many students went outside to sit in the sunshine or play frisbie. Whatever the chosen activ- ity, lunch time was looked forward to by nearly everyone.

ptante Sullivaa Works 4A Yliracle “The Miracle Worker,” which was per- formed November 12-13, was a success to those who acted in it and to those who came to see the play. It seems as if miracles really can happen. Blind, deaf and dumb, and greatly tem- pered, Helen Keller was portrayed by Marla McKown. Robin Stone portrayed the stubborn, bull-headed, Irish Annie Sul- livan, who the Kellers hired in despera- tion, hoping she'd be able to help Helen be less of a menace to family harmony. After four weeks of practice, it was worth the time that the twenty actors spent in hard work to be able to present this play to the public. Costumes were an added touch to the production. The cast had a few unusual experiences with the props and costumes. On one of Marla’s entrances, she did not have a chance to get her dress zipped, and as she was out on stage, she kept her back away from the audience as others tried to zip it for her. Once when Creager Smith (James Keller) went to sit down, his chair broke from underneath him. It was hard for everyone on stage to keep from laugh- ing! Four blind children show their love to Annie before her departure by presenting her a gift as Mr. Anagnos (Albert Witt) watches. While Helen feels the water running into the pitcher, she mutters her first word: “wa-wa.” This was many trials and tribulations after her first encounter with her new teacher, shown at left.
