Look to Broadway, Angel Look out Broadway, because some would say that the performance of Look Homeward, Angel was good enough to have opened there. This year's fall play was a Pulitzer Prize winner by Ketti Frings, based on the novel by Thomas Wolfe; it earned some of its own awards, too. Kristen DiFranco was named best lead actress by the Dear- born Press and Guide. Sparks seem to fly when Ben and his mother Eliza get together on stage. Each one had an opinion about how one should spend his her life. The touching-yet humor- ous story of a boy's strug- gle to experience love and realize his dreams gave life to the stage this past No- vember. The common days of his family's life were depicted with hu- morous characterizations. Eugene didn't live an easy life; his mother even took in boarders at their home, which she called Dixieland. The play was humorous, but it offered lessons in real life, too. Eu- gene was told by his brother, Ben, not to give up on his dreams, because he was the only person who could make them come true. Ben offered this advice to us as well. □ by: K.

Sadie's: Sock-Hop Style The Sadie's Dance has been a long-standing tradi- tion, but this year, the dance under went a few changes. This year's theme was D.C.'s Bandstand with music mostly from the 50's and 60's. The dance was still the traditional girl-ask- guy date-dance, but the atmosphere declined from an almost semi-formal oc- casion to a strictly casual New moves from senior Tami Brozek and her brother, sopho- more Mike Brozek. enlivened the dance floor. Even though most of the music was from decades be- fore, some new music was played. evening, where even jeans were permitted. Many students were up- set by the change in the dress code. Sadie's gives the students a chance to dress up and treat their dates to a nice night out, comparable to Homecom- ing. The argument that many students had with the new dress code was that they couldn't go to dinner at a really nice place if they dressed so casually, junior Michelle Whalen said, I was looking forward to getting dressed up and going out; it's not everyday that we get a chance to do this. With the sudden change in the dress code, a lot of the anticipation and excitement was taken away. Even though there were mixed emotions about the dress code and rumors that many thought the dance was too over-done in the past, it was well-at- tended and enjoyed by all. □ by: K.
