Construction a big success! A successful production of Music Man was the goal of this year’s construction crew. After several months of hard work, the construction was complete—the 1984 spring musical. This construction crew included many other workers besides the actors and ac- tresses. The musical would never be a success without the help of all the ‘backseat drivers,’ the most important be- ing Mrs. Jacqueline Bacus—the director of Music Man. Backstage, the combined efforts and hard work of the stage manag- ers, lighting assistants, publicity crew and the make-up and costume crews lay down the perfect foundation for a professional performance. Also included are the highly talented band members in the orchestra who provide the necessary and skillful background for the musical. This year, besides talented high school students, the cast also included several rising stars from the gradeschool. Music Man starred Steve Sherlag as Professor Hill—not a professor at all but an all- around con man. Always one to accept a challenge, he stops at the town of River City, Iowa, to organize a band—for whom he’ll supply everything, for a price. The professor is able to con some people but not all. He meets Marian, a piano teacher, and falls in love. In trying to win Marian’s heart, the con man finds his match and becomes trapped by love. A dance troupe for the Pick-A-Little ladies? “Of The quartet of Kent Dalian, Jon Martichuski, Jim course!,’’ assures Professor Harold Hill. Roggenbeck and Scott Richards capture the atten- tion of the Pick-A-Little ladies. 25

At the beginning of the coronation of Blessed Mother Mary, Anne Gapa presents her gift of adora- tion—a single carnation. Megan Meade looks on with respect. May court honors Mary The coronation of the Blessed Virgin began as each of the members of the May crowning court placed a single carna- tion in a vase before Mary. Catherine Hodge, the crown bearer, and attendant Mary Jo McHugh assisted Michelle Lentz as she crowned our Holy Mother Mary. Every year, the senior girls nominate the members of their class whom they would like to have on their May crowning court. This year, the members of the court were Sally Faletti, Denise Filiatraut, Anne Gapa, Doris Hall, Laryssa Kozak, Sally Longe, Megan Meade, Kim Ward and Shannon Young. The 1984 May queen, Michelle Lentz, said a beautiful prayer afterward: “ . . . How special Mary is to You, Lord Jesus. For You remember her struggle to accept the unknown. Help us in our efforts to give her the honor and praise she de- serves . . . ” On this day, Mary did receive the honor that she is so worthy of. All heads turn as May queen Michelle Lentz and attendant Mary Jo McHugh enter the church. Right. In the procession, Sally Faletti and crown bearer Catherine Hodge precede the queen. 26
