All American As the curtain went up for the 1983 Spring Musical, Eastside students, once again, tested their drama skills, in “All American by Mel Brooks. “All American took place on a college campus and focused on a com- bination of sports and education in a humorous way. Professor Fordorski, (Mitch Sny- der), w ho was an engineering profes- sor and a German immigrant, was the main character of the play. He taught his students engineering in football terms and became the hit of the col- lege. Spring Play When football coach. Hulk Stock- worth (Ron Mausteller), was injured, Fordorski took over the team and turned it into a big success. Then with a little help from Dean Eliza bet h-Ha wkees-Bullock (Vicki Imhoff), he realized he was there to teach, not to coach football. After spending much time together, they fell in love. Among the lead characters of “All American” were Bricker (Chris Zenk), football kicker and Susan (Angie Gollmer), Bricker’s girl friend. In addition to 37 actors and ac- tresses, 10 crew members, working on props, sets and costumes, helped to make the play a success. Copy by Amy Scott and Stephanie Kurtz Coach Hulk Stockworth gives the team a pep talk before the game: “Tackle, tackle, kill, kill, break all the rules and win the game. Moose is tackled and mistaken for dead, but then revived. The team has a conference to decide whether or not Professor Fordorski should take over as coach. Photos—Courtesy of Butler Bulletin.

— Corning The play “Coming of Age,” written by Ann Goette Distler, was enacted by the junior high chorus. “Coming of Age is a musical drama about being thirteen, performed by the only peo- ple who could correctly perform it— thirteen year olds. The play revolves around a new girl who comes to town (Karen) and her relationship with three different groups of teenagers: the “Clubhouse of Age—A Gang,” the “Out-Crowd,” and the “In-Crowd.” The play was directed by Mr. Al- bert Weiss. “They enjoyed the re- wards of three successful perfor- mances,” he said. “Presenting a show like this was a first for Eastside and the experience was very rewarding. It takes a lot of work, but it is fun,” he added.
