Kelly Brandon, above, seems to be comparing noses with Mister Pineapple Head, whom she picked up on her Spring Break trip to Cancun, Mexico. REA The lure of tropical palms, sandy beaches, and warm weather can be felt in this scene from one Baron's Spring break trip to Hawaii. way Lands Beckon After the long tedious months of win- ter, most students and staff anxiously looked forward to the annual phenom- enon known as Spring Break — a time away from school and a time, for some, to go to some place where warm weather had already arrived. Two groups of students did just that. Campus Life took several bus loads of area students to Florida for the week. There they enjoyed the sandy beaches and such tourist attractions as Disney World. Eleven members of the Spanish Club also went south — to Mexico. There they enjoyed the sights, sounds, and tastes of a different culture as they com- bined learning with having fun. Many other Barons went on trips with family or friends to destinations includ- ing Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Ha- wail, California, and Mexico. Others stayed closer to home, traveling to such exotic spots as Ft. Wayne or Indianapolis for shopping trips or staying home to help out with spring cleaning. Whatever the activity, Spring Break was a welcome break from the books for everyone. SPRING BREAK ® 2]

[MUSICA South Pacific Entertains Audience The spring musical South Pacific was a raging success. The action of the musical took place over a two-week period during World War Il on islands in the South Pa- cific, hence the musical’s title. It deals with a young American nurse, Nellie For- bush, and an older French planter, Emile de Becque, falling in love. Another plot has a young Tonkenese girl, Liat, falling in love with a US Navy lieutenant, Joe Cable. Students playing these parts were Pam Witmer, Dirk McKown, Dawn VanAllen, and Chris Franks. Practices and rehearsals ranged from 4 to 6 PM or 7 to 9 PM Monday through Thursday and an occasional Saturday all- day practice. The prolific effort put forth by the cast of over 50 students was re- warded by a standing ovation on opening night. The stage crew created a smooth pro- duction with lights, curtains, and espe- cially the exquisite props. Musical chor- Bloody Mary (Tina Hedean) hopes that her daughter “There Is Nothing Like a Dame” seems to be the eographer, Pam Smith, spent many hours Liat (Dawn VanAllen) and Lieutenant Joe Cable main thought on the minds of these singing Seabees teaching dances to nurses, sailors, and (Chris Franks) will fall in love. as they end their song. ree 4 z native islanders.
