A Tribute To Humphrey Looking back in recent years of politics, we find one name mentioned frequently: Hubert H. Humphrey. We Minnesotans are especially proud to have had him represent our state. During his political career he was mayor of Minneapolis, Senator, and Vice President of the United States. Not only was he successful in the political world but also with his personal life. He once said that the greatest gift in life is the gift of friendship. He shared this gift with many different kinds of people. He won the love and admiration of all mankind by his sympathy for the poor and his interest in the problems of all America. Many people thought of him as a legend in his own time. This year we lost this wonderful man to the much dreaded disease of cancer. This brought much sorrow to the many people he touched during his life. A close friend of his, Walter Mondale, expressed it well: ‘‘He taught us how to hope and how to live, how to win and how to lose; he taught us how to live and, finally, he taught us how to die.” We all miss Hubert Humphrey, but the spirit of the happy warrior” will always remain.

26 miwicol Man Of La Mancha This year’s musical proved to be another success under the artistic direction of Mr. John Cunningham and Mr. Harold Wildung. The Man of La Mancha cast and crews contributed many long hours of practice and rehearsals to provide six nights of breathtaking entertainment. This year’s orchestra directed by Mr. Kloos also provided an essential part of the musical. At the start of rehearsals there was friction between the actors and the orchestra. But after the birthday party for Ron Chagnon, and the many practices before opening night, we began to understand the work that both sides were putting into the play and became very close, said Deb Smith. The play takes place in a dungeon in Seville, Spain at the end of the sixteenth century. Action also occurs in various places within the imagination of the main character, Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quixote), portrayed excellently by Steve Gorsky. Other characters such as Sancho, (Bob Thoe), along with countless others added interesting dimensions to the play. I felt the play had a special message and I loved being a part of it, replied Pam Sundeen. The directors, cast, orchestra and crews did a great job. I'll always remember the musical as a moral and beautiful experience, commented John Griggs. 6 3
